Queering the Weekly Parsha is a weekly study group that offers learners of all levels and identities the opportunity to look at the weekly Torah portion through a queer lens

We explore how the text affirms and challenges folks with queer identities, how our ancestors viewed sexuality, and where we might find inspiration for inclusion. Our sources will include Torah, Jewish literature from various time periods, excerpts from Torah Qu(e)eries, and other secular sources.

Trained in academic queer theory, Rabbi Nikki leads with pastoral awareness; our study group is aimed at helping us find relevant, applicable aspects of Jewish text. This class is open to all, and will center LGBTQ+ perspectives. All you need is an open mind and an open heart.
