No mention of graphic novels yet? Well, OK, admittedly there doesn't seem to be much there --- and that's coming from a so-called Jewish graphic novels expert.
However .... I feel I must mention Steady Beat by "Rivkah", since someone else already mentioned teen books. Steady Beat is part of the "AmeriManga" genre - American-made, but folowing the style of Japanese comics. The protagonist - Leah (not Jewish) is trying to come to terms with her discovery that her sister is a lesbian. Leah's boy friend Elijah is an African-American Jewish boy who is living witn his father and his father's male partner. Unfortunately, only 2 books were published and Rivkah had meant to write at least 3. http://www.worldcat.org/title/steady-beat/oclc/62254190&referer=brief_results Steven M.
