JSO, Jewish Studies, and Gender and Sexuality Studies Presents

An Evening with Rabbi Abby Stein: Author of Becoming Eve: My Journey from Ultra-Orthodox Rabbi to Transgender Woman

Join us as we welcome Abby Stein, who will give a talk on Gender and Judaism and share her own powerful story. Stein was born and raised in a family of distinguished rabbinic lineage (she’s a tenth-generation descendent of the Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Hasidic Judaism), and studied to become a rabbi before leaving that world in 2012. Since coming out, she has been working to raise support and awareness for trans rights and for those leaving ultra-Orthodoxy. Stein is a Jewish educator, author, speaker, and activist, whose forthcoming book Sources of Pride is an anthology and exploration of Jewish texts on identity, gender, sexuality, and inclusivity.
