Torah Portion: Re'eh

This resource is part of the Torah Queeries collection.

In this commentary, the author explores a queer reading of the Torah portion that does not rely on an understanding of its historical context. He argues that it is important that we admit what we don’t know and venture into the unknown to adapt our traditions to unprecedented circumstances.
