Since my last post seemed to be helpful to a lot of people, I thought I’d make another to share some additional resources. This list includes a bunch of stuff, meant for Jewish people in general. I would definitely encourage you to explore them! There’s a lot of useful stuff here.
Goyim are welcome to reblog, just please be respectful if you’re adding tags or comments.
Jewish Multiracial Network, an organization for multiracial Jewish families and Jews of Color
Sefaria, a free virtual library of Jewish texts
Sephardic Studies Digital Library Museum “The SSDC includes key books, archival documents, and audio recordings that illuminate the history, culture, literature, politics, customs, music, and cuisine of Sephardic Jews all expressed in their own language, Ladino.” (from their website)
The SMQN, an organization for LGBTQ+ Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews
Keshet, a group for LGBTQ+ Jews
JQY, a group for LGBTQ+ Jews with a focus on those in Orthodox communities
Queer Jews of Color Resource List (note: this list is way more than just resources, there’s a LOT there)
JQ International: “JQ celebrates the lives of LGBTQ+ Jews and their allies by transforming Jewish communities and ensuring inclusion through community building, educational programs, and support and wellness services, promoting the healthy integration of LGBTQ+ and Jewish identities.” (from their website)
Jews of Color Initiative, an organization dedicated to teaching about intersectionality in the Jewish community, focuses on research, philanthropy, field building, and community education
Nonbinary Hebrew Project: It’s hard to describe, but they’re working to find/create/add suffixes that represent nonbinary genders in Hebrew. If you speak Hebrew/another gendered language, you might know what I mean about gendered suffixes.
Jewish Mysticism Reading List (These are related to our closed practices, goyim should NOT be practicing these things)
Ritualwell (you can find prayers and blessings related to specific things here, I personally like that they have blessings related to gender identity)
Guimel, an LGBTQ+ support group for the Jewish Community in Mexico. The site is in Spanish. I’m not a native speaker, but I was still able to read a little bit of it.
SVARA: “SVARA’s mission is to empower queer and trans people to expand Torah and tradition through the spiritual practice of Talmud study.” (From their website)
TransTorah is definitely an older website, but there are still some miscellaneous pdfs and resources up on the “Resources” page.
Jewish Disabilities Advocates: “The JFS Jewish Disabilities Advocates program was created to raise awareness and further inclusion of people with disabilities within Jewish organizations and the larger Jewish community.” (from their website)
Jewish Food Society (recipes, have not spent a lot of time browsing here but maybe I should in the future)
Jewish Blind & Disabled, an organization that operates mainly in providing accessible housing and living.
Jewish Braille Institute International: “The JBI Library provides individuals who are blind, visually impaired, physically handicapped or reading disabled with books, magazines and special publications of Jewish and general interest in Audio, Large Print and Braille formats.” (from their website) Their services are free!)
