We are building a bigger tent for nonbinary Jews through a third-gender grammar systematics for Hebrew, guided by our Torah and Talmud that
Hello. I am lucky enough to be friends with the creator of the Nonbinary Hebrew Project. They are looking for input on website accesibility, and I thought tumblr would be a good group of people to ask.
If you didn't know about the Nonbinary Hebrew Project, there are great resources for things like being called up for an Aliyah, the Parent's Blessing, etc.
If you happen to have a few minutes to peruse the site and send me your thoughts/ideas on accessibility, I will pass all comments along to the owner of the site.
@vaspider Thought you may be interested and could help spread the word. :) (no worries if not tho)
Blessed are you The One, breath of the infinite space-time, who made others like me.
May these moments that I have shared remind me of the Divine beauty of your creation, ever unfolding in front of me. May all Being and Becoming, source of blessings, who created us in their Divine image, continue to bring and hold us together.
I was inspired to make this blessing after meeting up with a group of other trans folk for karaoke. It was such a beautiful and life-giving experience that I wanted to mark it in some way. So I chose a blessing from Havdalah and adapted a prayer from the morning liturgy. As Jews, we mark sacred time, and time spent in trans community is a catheral in time. We all deserve happiness. We deserve community. We are loved and love. Happy Pride!!
Deepen your davvening and uncover the fundamentals of prayerbook Hebrew with siddur author and queer Jewish superstar, brin solomon.
hi all! do you ever find yourself wishing you knew more about the grammar of Hebrew liturgy? have you ever wondered what a non-binary grammatical gender in Hebrew might look like? do you just desperately need to come up with an excuse to get out of evening commitments on three specific Wednesdays in March? well boy howdy, do i have a class for you!
next month, i'll be teaching a three-session crash course on liturgical Hebrew grammar, including the nonbinary system i've been using in my siddur. classes are online and sliding scale, with no one turned away for lack of funds. it would be rad to see some of you fine people there!
Do you have a hard time with patriarchal language in liturgy? With an anthropomorphic male God figure? Do you love chanting or are you chanting-curious?
Join a morning minyan that is accessible to all and uses entirely nonbinary Hebrew and names for the Divine. All prayers will be in transliteration or English, so come even if Hebrew is new to you!
This minyan is a joint effort between SZ and Moishe House Rockridge in Oakland.
