Jewish innovation thrives on different perspectives, and it\u2019s so vital that queer Jewish leaders be empowered to share their own. This week, Rabbi Dara Lithwick shares her experience wrestling both with God and coming out as a lesbian. She talks about her work with the Canadian Council for Reform Judaism and the Canadian Parliament, and embracing Torah through a lens of intersectionality. \u201cWhen you bring different eyes and a different experience\u2026to the study of Torah\u2026it enables our tradition to stay alive and to stay relevant,\u201d says Rabbi Lithwick. \u201c[I bring] all of myself\u2026as a queer woman, as a mom, as a lawyer, as a Canadian\u2026into my read of Torah\u2026And it's a really exciting time\u2026to be a part of all of this.\u201d
