This text explores what it is like to be part of both the lesbian
and Jewish communities, suggesting ways in which lesbians can
reconcile these seemingly discordant elements of their identity. It
advocates the acceptance of lesbians into the Jewish tradition by
offering new interpretations of the Torah traditionally regarded as
prohibitive of homosexuality. The book counters the millennia of
"Midrashim" (scholarly comment on the Torah) condemning gays and
lesbians, by examining the culture of biblical lawgivers and the
culture of the commentators themselves. By examining passages from
Scripture and by featuring texts that portray Jewish lesbians as
role models in a new cultural canon, the author presents a case for
the integration of the lesbian voice into Jewish experience.
