Six Queer Heros and Scoundrels



Same-sex love, while surely hidden and formally decried, finds surprising expression in Jewish poetry, prose and case law. The material is full of pathos, gender bending, humor and intrigue and reveals a sliver of life, despite the well known prohibition, that has been all but erased from historical memory. We will meet six queer characters of Jewish history, some famous others infamous whose stories will help us to make sense of the issue for our own moment.

At the home of
Ben Goodman and Xavier Velazco
