Description:
Kabbalah, the ancient system of Jewish mystical and esoteric thought, has a complex and nuanced understanding of gender identity and eroticism. Men with female souls, a multi-gendered God -- this is not the BS about some old man in the sky judging you for jerking off. In this non-apologetic and non-traditional workshop, we'll look at a few Kabbalistic teachings on gender and sexuality, particularly queer sexuality and transgender souls. The workshop will be led by an 8-time burner, radical faerie & Ph.D. candidate in Jewish Thought who has published 2 books on Kabbalah and taught Jewish mysticism for 15 years.
