Queer Jews
Queer Jews, edited by David Shneer and Caryn Aviv, is a collection of essays written by Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and
Transgender (GLBT) Jews, exploring, "the conflict between the desire to integrate into established Jewish communities,
changing them from within and the comforts of creating and maintaining 'separate' spaces for queer Jews." In this video
interview with the editors, David and Caryn talk about the genesis of their book, its uses and goals. This is one of many
resources available in the Jeff Herman Virtual Resource Center
for Sexual Orientation Issues (VRC) -- a tool to help HUC-JIR students, faculty, administrators, alumni and supporters become
more knowledgeable and inclusive of gay and lesbian Jews.
