Rabbi Yoel Kahn: Hineini! Here I Am!: Early Queer Jewish Liturgy

Thursday, June 12, 2025 16 Sivan 5785

In partnership with Shaar Zahav, SF, Congregation Beth El, Berkeley, and Congregation Beth Am, Los Altos

“Hear the gay shouts of liberation in the tents of the just!” (Psalm 118:15). Reciting the festival liturgy on Pride Shabbat was an important innovation—first celebrated at Congregation Beth Simchat Torah in New York in 1973—and so was this early gay-inclusive new translation of the psalm. This session, in honor of LGBTQ Pride, will examine the creation and evolution of early LGBTQ-informed and -inclusive liturgy in the 1970s and 1980s.
