Queer

The gay kind:-

The Nehirim Queer Shabbaton DC is an “urban retreat” of community, culture, and spirituality for GLBT Jews, partners, & allies. It is a weekend filled with workshops, lectures and discussion groups on queer and Jewish issues. Intellectually stimulating and spiritually inspiring, the Queer Shabbaton has been held for three years in New York and Amsterdam — now it comes to Washington D.C. for the first time, presented in partnership with GLOE, the Gay & Lesbian Outreach & Engagement program at the Washington DCJCC.

Our presenters include HRC Faith & Religion activist Sharon Groves, Israeli literature professor Yaron Peleg, co-founder of the Hebrew Priestess Institute Holly Taya Shere, leading Israeli GLBT activist and law professor Aeyal Gross, and Nehirim executive director, Jay Michaelson, recently named to the “Forward 50″ list of the fifty most influential Jews in the U.S. Workshop topics range from the intersection of GLBT identity and Israel/Palestine politics to writing as a Jewish spiritual practice, gender in the work of Philip Roth to practical advice on legally protecting relationships outside of marriage. We also include a wide menu of spiritual options, from Torah study to yoga, meditation to Shabbat services, to make the weekend a transformative and enjoyable one.
