Book Synopsis Transgender and Jewish by : Noach Dzmura

Download or read book Transgender and Jewish written by Noach Dzmura and published by The Forward Association, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Transgender and Jewish" tells the story of the first wave of gender-nonconforming Jews to take its place in the mainstream. Today, trans Jews direct summer camps, write ritual and even lead congregations as rabbis. Yet while non-Orthodox venues have made enormous strides in welcoming gay and lesbian members in recent decades, some trans people say they still feel like outsiders in Jewish settings, including, at times, the synagogues or camps they attended before their gender expression changed. "Transgender and Jewish" explores the world of trans Jews as they push for inclusion, and, through their presence, help congregations and denominations move beyond rigid definitions of male and female. For the people in the book -- and their communities -- being transgender and Jewish is not a contradiction in terms, but a viable and flourishing identity.
