Queer Talmud
The Queer Yeshiva’studies using the SVARA method, translating the text in chevruta [pairs] before sharing in shiur [group], with a focus on chazara [recitation] so that the Talmud we learned was internalised in our bodies.
Our online Talmud class is currently sold out and will likely return Autumn 2025.
A 10-week course of Talmud learning. By queer people, for queer people.
