Overview

Reconciling sexuality with religion has always been an enormous challenge. When the religion is Orthodox Judaism, the task is even more daunting. Keep Your Wives Away from Them takes on that challenge by giving voice to LBTQ Jewish women who were once silenced-and effectively rendered invisible-by their faith. While a number of films and books have given voice to queer Jewish people, none show what happens to women after the struggle, when the real work of building integrated lives begins. This important and courageous collection affirms that it is possible to maintain religious tradition without foregoing one's gender and sexual identity. Contributors include musician and writer Temim Fruchter, professor Joy Ladin, writer Leah Lax, nurse Tamar Prager, and the pseudonymous Ex-Yeshiva Girl.
