the Rabbi Wore Lace : Jewish Lesbian Erotica by Karen
X. Tulchinsky (Editor)
In true Jewish tradition, this book features
literate, steamy erotica told with humor, heart, and chutzpah.
"We read some works of fiction to escape
from ourselves, and others to find ourselves. Whether Jewish
lesbians will tear through this erotic anthology in a rapture of
self-recognition, I can't say, but aside from the occasional
ecstatic reference to noodle kugel, there is nothing here to
exclude or disorient other readers. In fact, one would hardly know
one was reading Jewish lesbian erotica if it weren't for the
book's subtitle and an odd recurrence of bagels. Tulchinsky,
editor of the recent anthology To
Be Continued, argues in her introduction that Jewish
lesbian erotica can mean almost anything, because everything that
Jewish dykes do is informed by their identity. As a result, she
has chosen 13 stories that range from the pedestrian to the
astonishing--Caril Behr's placidly outrageous "Ofra and Tal"
is worth the price of the book--in which Jewishness glimmers and
fades, sometimes in the foreground, sometimes only in a chance
detail or an implication." -- Regina Marler

This list is designed to facilitate
communication among lesbian and gay Jews and their supporters who
generally can not make JAGL meetings. We're interested in hearing
what life is like "out there," and would appreciate any
ideas, comments and topics for discussion that people may have.
This list is meant for the exchange of ideas and information that
would assist and benefit gay, lesbian and bisexual Jews. It is not
meant as a forum for debating the validity of the
gay/lesbian/bisexual Jewish experience -- JAGL was established to
embrace, nurture and develop the gifts of this unique identity.
Our hope is that this list will provide a forum for support and
networking. JAGL is pleased to sponsor this list, and all its
members are saying a big "shehechiyanu!

Gaon is not a synagogue or a community, but a
support group for Orthodox gays and lesbians, run by Orthodox gays
and lesbians.
Few people who are orthodox, and realize that
they are gay, have the koach to remain frum - one of the main aims
of Gaon is for us to give each other the encouragement to stick it
out, and stay shomer shabbat and shomer mitzvot. Everyone in the
group has had their frumkeit boosted in some way or another. For
others, contacting the group has been a literally life saving
experience.
