Ableism distorts relationships.

The redactors of the Talmud knew this.

Our task is to read those texts with the fullness of our own embodied difference - and to reclaim what was meant to be ours all along.

Neuroqueer Talmud starts soon.

Learning Talmud is not about mastery.

It’s about relationship.

With the text. With each other. With our own bodyminds.

This is the heart of Neuroqueer Talmud.

Let's study together and reclaim our tradition.

Talmud is not a relic - it's a living conversation.

In Neuroqueer Talmud we bring queerness, disability, & neurodivergence into the text - not as obstacles, but as essential Torah.

Join me for 5 weeks on harm, power, and oppression in rabbinic literature.

Neuroqueer Talmud is back!

Come claim back your tradition as we learn about ableism, power dynamics, and oppression via a Jewish lens.

We will learn together over 5 weeks - all levels of learning welcome!

Mordecai Kaplan left this world more than 40 years ago but his ideas are more relevant than ever.

Join me for 4 weeks of studying his writings directly from him and discussing together how to make them transform and reconstruct our own worlds.

Torah was never binary.

Talmud names more than two genders.

Mystics queered the Divine.

We’re taking it back.

Come learn.

I'm so humbled that so many of you have signed up for NEUROQUEER TALMUD.

Due to popular demand, I've opened up 6 additional spots.

I'm so excited to learn with you!

His repetitions and “stubbornness” are the traits of a traumatized autistic person, being forced to talk to those inflicted the trauma

Rather than identifying with the brothers who now find themselves without the power dynamic, reread the Parasha.

What do you see now?

Traditionally, Joseph is read as being mean, vindictive, and trite towards his brothers.

But what happens when we read his words thru the lens of Autism & Trauma?

Controversial take

One of the things I miss most from the Haredi world is the seriousness that some take when it comes to “shul talking”

Talking in shul absolutely destroys it for me. In the progressive and modern orthodox Jewish world shul talking is not only welcome, but encouraged.

Hanukkah is all about the miracle of bringing light to darkness against all odds and social norms.

Neuroqueer Torah invites us to take the Torah we've been given and use it to build something sacred, something that makes room for all of us.

Indeed, Neuroqueer Torah is what Torah has been all about since its inception. It's not about fitting in or apologizing - it's about unmasking, reclaiming, and re-creating a Judaism that is radically inclusive while remaining rooted in the richness of our tradition.

It challenges the neuronormative, heteronormative, patriarchal, conservative assumptions embedded in traditional interpretations and reclaims Torah and Jewish life as dynamic, vibrant, and deeply inclusive.
