  • 1.  EMIERT Pride Program: Queer Jewish Joy for Young Readers

    Posted Jun 10, 2025 04:36 PM
    Presented by the Jewish Information Committee of EMIERT
    Jun 20, 2025 01:30 PM Eastern (Zoom) 
    What is queer Jewish joy? It is a celebration of identity, family, and community which, through storytelling for all young readers, centers the joy of queer Jewish life rather than trauma or conflict.

    A panel of youth literature authors will share their insights in a moderated conversation that addresses pride, inclusion, intersectionality, and Jewish values. 
    Please feel free to share with anyone who might be interested.
