Tentang podcast ini
In the shadow of persecution, a podcast of Jewish and other wisdom for our spiritual survival. Trans thought leader Lexi Kohanski delivers her sermon-style takes on how we can make it through one of the worst outbursts of transphobia the world has ever known. Each episode Lexi serves you a blend of politics, queerness, and spirituality, mysticism and the moment. This is Torah for Trans Lives.
Torah for Trans Lives is a Torah Studio podcast, written, produced and performed by Lexi Kohanski. Our volunteer editor is Austin Coulson. Our graphic is “Rivka and Yitzchak” by Rena Yehuda Newman. Our title music is “Lekhabot et haAhavah” by Rabbi Noam Lerman. I’m so glad you’ve listened.
