Rabbi Benay Lappe is an award-winning educator, specializing in the application of Queer Theory to Talmud study. She is the founder of SVARA: A Traditionally Radical Yeshiva.

CRASH Talk

Rabbi Benay Lappe lays out SVARA’s philosophy of the Talmud and the rabbinic revolution that gave rise to it. Come hear how the Talmud – and all radical ideas – are born, crash and are reborn anew.

SVARA Beit Midrash

You just need to have your basic aleph-bet in order to take part in this SVARA pop-up Beit Midrash. Come with a friend to be your havruta (learning partner), or we will find you a partner. We will learn a complete Talmud text, start to finish, in this multi-level, radically inclusive Beit Midrash. If you’re not sure you’re ready to learn Talmud with us, feel free to come to the CRASH talk.
