Y’ALL!!!! IT’S HERE!!!!

The Trans Halakha Project seeks to curate existing and developing resources that have been created for trans Jews, by trans Jews and engage trans & non-binary people in the creation of specific rituals and blessings. This work is expressed below in Tefillat Trans: Blessings and Rituals for Trans Lives.

a gut vokh and shavua tov to trans jews and those who love us!

Today, SVARA's Trans Halakha Project released two incredible bodies of work: the first iteration of their Teshuvot and Tefillat Trans: Blessings and Rituals for Trans Lives. Read them, share them, save them for later, and know in your heart that you are not alone.

This is a HUGE moment in Jewish history where Trans-centered Torah is being actively cultivated by and for trans Jews. Ancestors of blessed memory like Rabbi Yochanan, Qalonymos ben Qalonymos, Berel-Beyle, Magnus Hirschfeld, and Leslie Feinberg have paved the way for us to be embracing our full selves as authorities in this tradition, not outsiders.

Trans lives are worth living. Trans wisdom is worth celebrating. Trans Jews are worth loving.

We are full members of our communities, and any Judaism that claims otherwise is incomplete.

blessing for being nonbinary (very nice, will probably incorporate into my regular prayers)

blessing for experiencing gender euphoria

intention setting for taking a step toward gender transition

marking the days of healing--i missed counting omer this year, but this is a good one to replace that and just like. remind myself that healing will take as long as it takes, rushing it is verybad.
