The best queer Jewish books to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month - HERE
Across genres, generations, and geographies, LGBTQ+ Jewish authors and characters are claiming space in literature: telling messy love stories, reimagining tradition, surviving and thriving in the face of loss, and simply kissing girls on Shabbat.
This Pride Month, this is a spotlight on books that celebrate the beautiful intersection of queerness and Jewish identity. Some are quiet and tender, others loud and defiant. Some are steeped in mysticism, others grounded in realism or speculative futures. All of them remind us that there’s no one way to be Jewish, or queer — and that both are richer when they’re in conversation.
