Following on this ancient tradition, \u003cem\u003eTorah Queeries\u003c\/em\u003e brings together some of the world's leading rabbis, scholars, and writers to interpret the Torah through a \"bent lens.\" This incredibly rich collection unites the voices of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and straight-allied writers, including some of the most central figures in contemporary American Judaism. All bring to the table unique methods of reading and interpreting that allow the Torah to speak to modern concerns of sexuality, identity, gender, and LGBT life. \u003cem\u003eTorah Queeries\u003c\/em\u003e offers cultural critique, social commentary, and a vision of community transformation, all done through biblical interpretation. Written to engage readers, draw them in, and at times provoke them, \u003cem\u003eTorah Queeries\u003c\/em\u003e charts a future of inclusion and social justice deeply rooted in the Jewish textual tradition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA labor of intellectual rigor, social justice, and personal passions, \u003cem\u003eTorah Queeries\u003c\/em\u003e is an exciting and important contribution to the project of democratizing Jewish communities, and an essential guide to understanding the intersection of queerness and Jewishness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4698132\"\u003eGregg Drinkwater\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814769775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814769772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC002000\"\u003eAnthropology | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POL\"\u003ePolitical Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POL004000\"\u003eCivil Rights\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC031000\"\u003eDiscrimination\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGregg Drinkwater (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eGregg Drinkwater\u003c\/b\u003e is Director for Special Projects at Keshet, an organization working for the full inclusion of LGBT Jews in Jewish life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoshua Lesser (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eJoshua Lesser\u003c\/b\u003e is the rabbi of Bet Haverim in Atlanta, Georgia, and the founder of the Rainbow Center: A Jewish Response to LGBT people and their families. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Shneer (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDavid Shneer\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of the Program in Jewish Studies and Associate Professor of History at the University of Colorado at Boulder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJudith Plaskow (Foreword by) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eJudith Plaskow\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor Emerita of Religious Studies at Manhattan College. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44492044468461,"sku":"9780814769775","price":61.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_f592c5fe-8e16-45c2-9c91-d738277e0d71.jpg?v=1700892126","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/torah-queeries-weekly-commentaries-on-the-hebrew-bible-9780814769775","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
