SVARA: A Traditionally Radical Yeshiva

empowering queer and trans people to expand Torah and tradition through the spiritual practice of Talmud study.

Organization’s Description

At SVARA, everyone—queer, straight, trans, alef-bet beginners, experienced talmudists, secular, religious, Jews, non-Jews—everyone learns together in a mixed-level bet midrash. And no matter where you dive in, you’ll gain a sense of empowerment to shape a tradition that has always been yours. We offer year-round learning, served up the old-fashioned way: hardcore, queer, and radically inclusive.
