Rainbow Jews deals with the intersection of gay and Jewish identity
in American and Israeli film and theater, from the 1960s to the
present. Its main area of interest is the extent to which Jewish
creative voices in the performing arts have constructed
multidimensional images of, and a welcoming public space for, the
gay, lesbian, and transgendered community as a whole. Through a
close reading of the texts of numerous American and Israeli plays
and films (some famous, but mostly lesser known), the author
evaluates some of the key conventions and tropes that have been
employed to construct, critique, and reflect the social reality of
the connection between Jewishness and gay identity in the United
States and Israel. Secondarily, the author explores ways in which
gay-Jewish playwrights and filmmakers have assisted the
re-evaluation of sexual norms within Judaism over the past three
decades, inspiring and reinforcing measures across the spectrum of
belief geared towards integrating Jewish members of the GLBT
community into the overall Jewish historical narrative.
