moon is a symbol of diminution, a symbol of constancy for the Jewish people,
and a symbol that might have resonance for the LGBTQ+ community and additional
people who have been “othered.” In the days preceding Tisha B’Av, explore the
queer, imaginative tradition of Kiddush Levanah—the sanctification of the
moon—and some related texts that amplify the season’s themes of comfort and
protection. (co-sponsored with Temple Israel and J-Pride) Originally from New York City, Rabbi Jason Klein has served as the Director of Lifelong Learning at Temple Israel Minneapolis since summer 2018. He is a 2002 graduate of RRC and recent past president of the Reconstructionist Rabbinical Association. All are welcome at our High Holiday services and celebrations.
