The office of rabbi is the most visible symbol of power and prestige in Jewish communities. Rabbis both interpret to their congregations the requirements of Jewish life and instruct congregants in how best to live this life. Lesbian Rabbis: The First Generation documents a monumental change in Jewish life as eighteen lesbian rabbis reflect on their experiences as trailblazers in Judaism's journey into an increasingly multicultural world. In frank and revealing essays, the contributors discuss their decisions to become rabbis and describe their experiences both at the seminaries and in their rabbinical positions. They also reflect on the dilemma whether to conceal or reveal their sexual identities to their congregants and superiors, or to serve specifically gay and lesbian congregations. The contributors consider the tensions between lesbian identity and Jewish identity, and inquire whether there are particularly |lesbian| readings of traditional texts. These essays also ask how the language of Jewish tradition touches the lives of lesbians and how lesbianism challenges traditional notions of the Jewish family. |'Today I am completely 'out' personally and professionally, and yet I have learned that the 'coming out' process never ends. Even today, I find myself in professional situations in which yet again I must reveal that I am a lesbian, yet again I must prove myself worthy of functioning professionally in the 'straight' world. I still encounter moments of awkwardness, some hostility, and some sense of exclusion as I negotiate the pathways of my professional life.|-Rabbi Leila Gal Berner, from Lesbian Rabbis: The First Generation

Yeats, together with ones own fathers. Wilde loathed their your dad, despite the fact that acknowledged that they were significantly alike. Joyce's gregarious father had their young man through Eire caused by this volatile self-control in addition to drinking. Although Yeats's dad or mom, a good catamount, was first evidently a great conversationalist whose yak ended up being a lot more lustrous rrn comparison to the works of art this individual produced.

The Bermudez Triangle By:Maureen Johnson Published on 2005-10-06 by Penguin ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) Grade 9 Up–Johnson begins this exceptional novel in a lightweight fashion but quickly segues into more serious issues that affect the three young women who make up the Bermudez Triangle.

Although she desperately misses Avery and Mel, who are waitresses at a restaurant back home, she quickly falls head over heels for eco-warrior Steve, who has grown up in a commune on the West Coast–so different from Nina's secure middle-class experience.

Lesbian Teachers By:Madiha Didi Khayatt Published on 1992 by SUNY Press ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) Teachers, in general, are hired to conform with set values of the community which hires them. They are expected to reflect conventions which correspond with an ideological model of behavior sanctioned by the state and by the community in which they work. In a publicly funded educational system, not only are teachers expected to transmit dominant ideologies, but, as representatives of the state, they are assumed to embody the dominant values of the society which hires them. The notion of lesbian teachers inevitably contradicts mainstream assumptions about female teachers women whose image stereotypically corresponds with and implicitly conveys traditional female virtues of purity, dedication, and nurturance. Using an analysis that combines feminist concepts of patriarchy with Gramsci s notion of hegemony, this book is an institutional ethnography which begins from the standpoint of lesbian teachers,
