Short Description:
Dave (of "How I learned to love myself and occasionally other men" and "Fort Mortgage") dedicates this issues of his zine to his Jewish roots. He rediscovers the religion he abandoned as an angry adolescent punk and intertwines his religion into his queer identity. Though it is mostly a light-hearted read filled with family stories and memories, Dave also critiques anti-GLBT policies of Orthodox Judaism and the continued conflicts in Israel. A pleasant read for all!
Full Description:
Dave regrets not going through the rights for a Bar Mitzvah at thirteen. But, he is now studying to take the ceremony as an adult. He also closes the zine with an amazing seder experience that recognizes that multiple (and often marginalized) queer identities within the Jewish faith!
