Our Roshim

Our roshim [heads] look after the organising of the Yeshiva, each focusing on specific areas of Queer Yeshiva life.

We hope to update this webpage soon with some more information about each of us!

Elana

Rosh Pedagogy

Feygl

Rosh Welfare

Natasha

Rosh Logistics

Reuben

Rosh Logistics

Reuben currently holds joint awards for best dressed Rosh, and most likely to tell you to stop working so hard. He sits on the logistics team, but is particularly interested in the intersection of logistics, welfare and accessibility.

Yael

Rosh Tefillah

Yael, our resident neo-chassid, is co-Rosh Tefillah. She exists at the intersection of Jewish and Islamic mysticism. She loves teaching, currently runs the Bnei Mitzvah course with Lev, and leads the team responsible for the spiritual character of the QY.

Lota

Rosh Co-ordination

Lota attended last summer’s intensive and the Judaism she found was the Judaism she desired. She is now Rosh Co-ordination, ensuring this year’s intensive runs smoothly and curating an experience for everyone to enjoy. Lota is passionate about teaching her secondary school students and fights for access to progressive sex education.

Our teams

  • Logistics team (headed by Natasha)

  • Tefila team (vacant)

  • Welfare team (headed by Feygl)

  • Teachers team (headed by Elana)
