Modern Judaism is constantly challenged to adapt spiritual practices rooted in an ancient patriarchy to profound changes in how we understand human sexuality.
Congregation Bet Haverim has the opportunity to meet this moment with curiosity and the courage to adopt new modes of thinking and behaving.
McKenzie Wren, a CBH member and Special Projects Manager for SOJOURN, leads a discussion about the evolution of Jewish customs, from gender-expansive Hebrew to death rituals and burial. She will share life-affirming prayers from across the queer Southern Jewish ecosystem, including blessings for chest binding, hormone injecting, and taking a new name.
On the 40th anniversary of CBH’s non-profit charter and in honor of Pride Month, this three-part program explores all things Gender and Sexual Diversity.
