Mollie Leibowitz discusses heteronormative gender roles in Jewish mysticism

“Where does the need for partnership/heteronormative gender roles in partnership come from in Jewish mysticism?” This was one of the essential questions explored by Mollie Leibowitz on Nov. 20, when the Office of Community and Belonging and the Mount Holyoke Jewish Student Union co-hosted “Torah Queeries: Jewish Mysticism, Relationship Dynamics & Queerness.” Leibowitz, who has served as a Springboard Ezra Jewish Education Fellow at the University of Vermont since August 2021, joined the conversation virtually and assumed the role of an active facilitator.
