Throughout its history, halakha has been approached through the lens of specific theories. In our times, we have seen the unique effects of feminist theory on halakha, offering its own unique insight and understanding to the halakhic process. So too, does queer theory offer a new lens. This class will look at the question of conversion, circumcision, and transness, showing how this lens can offer insight in unforeseen areas. Light brunch reception will follow. This program is part of a Families Together event for adults that we are opening to the wider community, everyone should feel welcome to attend.
