MIRYAM KABAKOV & Friends |
The reconciliation of sexuality with religion is always challenging, especially for lesbian, bi, transgendered, or queer women whose roots are in Orthodox Judaism. Editor/contributor Miryam Kabakov is joined by other contributors to the groundbreaking anthology, Keep Your Wives Away from Them: Orthodox Women, Unorthodox Desires (North Atlantic Books), a collection that shares perspectives of LGBT women struggling to build integrated lives. "Each powerful essay challenges my preconceptions about the nature of religious lives and communities, about gendered selves, and about the delights and constraints of Orthodox Judaism. Keep Your Wives Away from Them is a complex spirit journey that speaks of the longing for love and the search for comforting and comfortable identities." - Vanessa L. Ochs. Miryam Kabakov, MSW, is a founder of Yeshivadykes, has facilitated a supports group for ex-Orthodox and Hassidic young adults, and is the former director of GLBT programming at the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan.
