Subject: [ha-Safran] LGBTQ resources

Hi Safranim,



My synagogue, The Reform Temple of Forest Hills,  has a LGBTQIA outreach 
committee [Keshet Shalom] and we are trying to put together resources about 
Judaism and LGBTQIA folks.  Picture books, regular books, videos, etc. for any 
age.  It occurred to me that some of you may have already done this work.  I 
thought I'd ask you all.  If you have done the work, please either send me info 
about your favorite items or a link to your resources page.



Thank you and a Shanah Tovah to all,



Scott Sheidlower, Professor

Hi Scott,

I saw your request on Hasafran for Jewish LGBTQIA titles. Please see my
list of Diverse Jewish Kidlit on the webpage of my podcast, The Book of
Life. You'll find many titles there labeled LGBT.
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/p/diverse-jewish-kidlit.html__;!!KGKeukY!ndIcrxguytzOaDN6G1s0C6EH9_XIAFTyqbBNwdtJhE08WeM4kw8ZgliNcY8xs4KKcvhcXPdCSLV8VBM$
 

Hope that helps!
Heidi

[ha-Safran] LGBTQ resources from NYPL

[Amanda Seigel via Hasafran]

Dear Scott and Safranim,

I have some LGBTQ Jewish blog posts up already and am currently working on
a research guide that's not quite ready (there are sections for memoirs and
autobiography, faith and identity, and anthologies, to start). Everything
listed here is available through The New York Public Library.

I am interested in learning about what other resources people have to
share, too.

Best wishes,
Amanda
