On January 20, an executive order was issued that denied the existence and identity of trans and nonbinary people. Since then, a cascade of restrictive laws and funding cuts have diminished basic rights for millions.
At Moving Traditions, we are focused on supporting all Jewish youth – rooted in our conviction that all are created in the image of God, b’tzelem Elohim – including trans, nonbinary, and queer youth.
Join us one week before Trans Day of Visibility for an important discussion co-sponsored by Keshet about how to support trans and queer Jewish youth in our current reality – socially, emotionally, and spiritually. We will address the threats trans and queer youth are facing state-by-state, and discuss strategies to support our youth at home, in synagogues, and in the classroom.
Our panel of experts will approach this topic from legal, Jewish, and youth perspectives, featuring:
- Rabbi Dr. Jay Michaelson, professor, writer, journalist, and rabbi
- Katya Gerwein, MD, pediatrician at Stanford Medicine Children’s Health and parent of two adult trans kids
- Ari Merrill, high school senior and former Kol Koleinu Teen Feminist Fellow
This Raising Up Teens webinar for parents and educators of Jewish youth will also include actionable takeaways and resources to use with the teen in your life.
