b'For this episode of our guest series, we\\u2019re honored and humbled to sit down with Rabbi Denise L. Eger. Rabbi Eger is the founding Sr. Rabbi of the Congregation Kol Ami, West Hollywood\\u2019s Reform Synagogue and is extra special to Brian since it is the congregation where he is exploring Judaism. Rabbi Eger was the first openly gay president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis and has won numerous awards and recognition for her AIDS activism. She shares how heartbreaking, and formative, her first years as a rabbi of the first gay synagogue at the height of the AIDS crisis were and how that has shaped her approach to activism today. Listen in as we discuss progressive Judaism, LGBTQ issues and Judaism, the changing Jewish family, and power of interfaith work.\\xa0\\n \\nGrab a copy of her books:\\nMishkan Ga’avah: Where Pride Dwells: A Celebration of LGBTQ Jewish Life and Ritual\\nGender & Religious Leadership: Women Rabbis, Pastors and Ministers\\nKol-ami.org\\nrabbieger.com\\n \\nIf you want to support the Patreon and help keep the podcast up and running, you can learn more and pledge your support at patreon.com/queertheology.\\n\\n \\nThe post Trailblazing for Queer Women Religious Leaders with Rabbi Denise Eger appeared first on Queer Theology.'
