The Trans+ Passover Seder is an annual gathering for transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming Jews and allies, hosted in Brooklyn. This event combines spiritual tradition with a queer-friendly atmosphere, aiming to create a safe space for individuals embracing multiple identities. The Seder features a warm environment with decorations and food that reflect both Jewish customs and LGBTQ+ culture. Participants come together to celebrate their identities, fostering joy and community amidst the complexities of being both trans and Jewish in today's society.
"The Trans+ Passover Seder is a holiday ritual and meal for transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming Jews and allies, hosted by The Neighborhood: An Urban Center for Jewish Life."
"As America becomes an increasingly dangerous and complicated place to be both trans and Jewish, I started the Trans+ Seder project to create an event where people striving to embrace all of these identities can come together in a meaningful and celebratory way."
"Some guests came to this event in order to introduce a trans element to their regular Jewish or holiday engagements. Others came to partake in a Jewish gathering as an addition to their queer social calendar."
"Breaking bread (or in this case, matzah) is a key part of the Seder, symbolizing unity and shared experience among diverse identities."
