LGBTQIA+: Pride Picnic and Family Field Day w/ JProud

by

Join Tribe 12 and JProud in a celebration of Pride, community, acceptance, and togetherness for an afternoon of friends, family, and fun field day games! Bring your picnic blanket, bring your partners, bring your friends, bring your kids, bring yourselves, and bring your love for the LGBTQIA+ community!

The picnic and field day will begin at 2pm, but please consider joining us an hour beforehand as we pick Juneberries (indigenous to Philadelphia) and have a discussion about how understanding can lead to respect, acceptance, and appreciation in both environmental justice and LGBTQIA+ identities.

Tribe 12 connects people in their 20s/30s to Jewish life and community in Philadelphia today so they will choose to stay connected tomorrow. We welcome people who identify as Jewish, whose partner is Jewish, or who are exploring Judaism. Tribe 12 seeks to include all individuals regardless of gender or identity expression, religious history and practice, health and disability whether visible or invisible, and financial circumstances. For questions, to request accommodations, or just to say hi, reach out to jess@tribe12.org.

LGBTQIA+ Book Club: Becoming Eve

by

Tribe 12 Book Club meets LGBTQIA+ Pride!

In honor of LGBTQIA+ Pride Month, join us in reading Becoming Eve: My Journey from Ultra-Orthodox Rabbi to Transgender Woman by Abby Stein.

The powerful coming-of-age story of an ultra-Orthodox child who was born to become a rabbinic leader and instead became a woman.
Abby Stein was raised in a Hasidic Jewish community in Brooklyn, isolated in a culture that lives according to the laws and practices of eighteenth-century Eastern Europe, speaking only Yiddish and Hebrew and shunning modern life. Stein was born as the first son in a dynastic rabbinical family, poised to become a leader of the next generation of Hasidic Jews.

But Abby felt certain at a young age that she was a girl. She suppressed her desire for a new body while looking for answers wherever she could find them, from forbidden religious texts to smuggled secular examinations of faith. Finally, she orchestrated a personal exodus from ultra-Orthodox manhood to mainstream femininity-a radical choice that forced her to leave her home, her family, her way of life.

Powerful in the truths it reveals about biology, culture, faith, and identity, Becoming Eve poses the enduring question: How far will you go to become the person you were meant to be?
