Queering the Text: Biblical, Medieval, and Modern Jewish Stories

by Andrew Ramer, Jay Michaelson (Contributor), Camille Shira Angel (Contributor)

Queering the Biblical, Medieval, and Modern Jewish Stories grapples with traditional midrashim, plays with homoerotic love poems from medieval Spain, and envisions alternate versions of the present. Inspired by the pioneering work of Jewish feminists, using the same narrative tools as the rabbis of old, Ramer has crafted stories that anchor queer lives in the three-thousand-year-old history of the Jewish people.

[Jacen Leonard · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stories of trans Jews, queer Jews, Jews of every kind. We have always been here and we always will be here. We are people of the book. We were at Mt. Sinai like everyone else. Informative without being dry, you'll likely learn a thing or two about how queer Jews have always existed. Do exist. Will exist.
