“Being queer is about seeing the world more fully, inclusively, pluralistically, and with more diversity.
“We are also living in a time where rights we once thought were sacred are maybe not so sacred, especially in the trans community. …
“It’s understanding what’s at stake in this moment, and also being able to bring Torah and queer Torah to life here [at CBST].
“Here’s to queerness. Open the gates. Let us all come dancing through.”
—Rabbi Yael Werber, CBST co-clergy, at Kabbalat Shabbat services
