About Torah Queeries:
“Provides a challenge to readers and preachers who are single-mindedly devoted to the straight and narrow.” – Prof. Daniel Boyarin, author of Carnal Israel: Reading Sex in Talmudic Culture
"With Torah Queeries, no longer is the LGBT community an outsider in the Bible. ... A must for the Jewish bookshelf." - Rabbi Andrew Sacks, Director of the Rabbinical Assembly in Israel,
Jerusalem Post
"The scholars and rabbis who have contributed to Torah Queeries ask us to bring the whole of our selves — our imaginations, bodies, and senses — to Torah. They collectively demonstrate that every parashah can speak to us as embodied, conflicted, desiring selves and as cognitive individuals." –Prof. Mara Benjamin, author of Rosenzweig’s Bible: Reinventing Scripture for Jewish Modernity
TORAH QUEERIES brings together some of the world’s leading rabbis, scholars, and writers to interpret the Torah through a “bent lens.” With commentaries on the 54 Torah portions, this rich collection unites the voices of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and straight-allied writers, including some of the most central figures in contemporary Judaism.
TORAH QUEERIES examines topics such as the Levitical sexual prohibitions, the experience of the Exodus, the rape of Dinah, the life of Joseph, and the ritual practices of the ancient Israelites. Most powerfully, the commentaries here chart a future of inclusion and social justice deeply rooted in the Jewish textual tradition.
