The Queer Rosh Chodesh Group draws on the tradition of feminist Rosh Chodesh gatherings to explore the themes of the upcoming Jewish month through a queer lens. This month we’ll explore whether Torah can be queer and what that even means. This discussion is open to queer-identified Jews in their 20s and 30s, whether Torah study is a regular part of your life or you’re brand new to it!

The Queer Rosh Chodesh Group will draw on the tradition of feminist Rosh Chodesh gatherings to explore the themes of the upcoming Jewish month through a queer lens. This gathering, led by Based-In DC’s Rabbi Avigayil Halpern, will take place monthly on or before Rosh Chodesh, the first day of the Jewish month, and is open to all queer-identified Jews in their 20s and 30s.

The Queer Rosh Chodesh Group is co-sponsored by Based-In DC and EntryPointDC and GLOE at the EDCJCC. You can come to just one, come every month, or whenever suits your fancy. This discussion is for all queer Jews – whether Torah study is a regular part of your life or you’re brand new to it, we want your wisdom in the conversation.

This month, we’ll talk about the holiday of Tu Bishvat – “the new year for the trees” – and ways to connect to the Jewish calendar and year cycle. We’ll also eat yummy fruit!
