Rabbi Moskowitz, embracing the Queer community

He’s been arrested. He’s CIS gender with a wife and kids. Rabbi Mike Moskowitz is also an orthodox Jew’is and he is one of the biggest supporters of the queer community. Rabbi Moskowitz is the Scholar-in-Residence for Trans and Queer Jewish Studies at Congregation Beit Simchat Torah, the world’s largest LGBT synagogue. 

He is a deeply traditional and radically progressive advocate for trans rights and a vocal ally for LGBTQ inclusivity. 

Rabbi Moskowitz received three Ultra-Orthodox ordinations while learning in the Mir in Jerusalem and BMG in Lakewood, NJ. He is a Wexner Field Fellow, Senior Rabbinic Fellow at the Hartman Institute, and the author of Textual Activism, Graceful Masculinity, and Seasonal Resistance. His newest book, Covenantal Allyship, will be available this year. Rabbi Moskowitz’s writings can be found at www.rabbimikemoskowitz.com

We met in person at Temple shir Shalom in West Bloomfield. Rabbi Moskowitz was speaking at the synagogue and wishing to always be an ally for the Queer community, I went.

The CF community, every community has a queer population and that’s why I felt it was important to talk about this.
