    #Parsha #Vayechi really made me think about mortality and what is left in the world after those of us *without* children die. So much of #Judaism is centered around family and much of the first book of the #Torah is about the lineages of children of Abraham (after Noah).

    I think for #queer people in particular, we may be childfree/childless and so genetically we leave nothing behind to carry on our story. So what is our place in Jewish history?

    Studying this week's parashah - Vayechi - with the Sefat Emet, Rabbi Yehuda Leib Alter of Ger. From "The language of truth" by Rabbi Arthur Green. I love this book! Some think of Hasidic thought as Orthodox, yet this book is used by Reform Jews, Jewish Renewal, Conservative Jews, Havurah movement, Trad-Egal, etc.

    How might queer Jews understand #parsha #vayechi? As the story of Joseph, his bones, and the importance of finding, remembering, queer ancestors.
