Parsha Reflections: Parshat Bamidbar/ Shavuot
Shavuot: when we celebrate receiving the Torah while serving looks and lactose. ✨🥛
It’s a holiday about revelation—standing at Mt. Sinai and saying yes to tradition, to identity, and to a future that’s still unfolding. And honestly, what’s queerer than a massive coming out moment surrounded by thunder, lightning, and a dramatic flowery mountain reveal?
Queer Jews know a thing or two about revelation. About standing tall, about choosing authenticity again and again—even when it’s hard. Like the Torah, our identities are living, evolving, and sometimes even a littttttle extra.
So this Shavuot, whether you’re sipping oat milk lattes or raiding the cheesecake fridge at all hours, celebrate Torah and celebrate you.
Wishing you a Shavuot full of learning, lactose, and dairy royalty.
