The Jewish Education Project has curated a collection of resources to discuss LGBTQ+ issues through a Jewish lens, including podcasts, book lists, engaging personal narratives, and more. We hope these resources help educators and students learn and take pride in the history, and promise of the future, of the LGBTQ+ community.

If you are interested in exploring this topic further, our staff is available to support your LGBTQ+ work. Email us at info@jewishedproject.org
