Queer Jews by David Shneer

reskimmed, 5 or 6 years after reading the first time. This time around, It felt more cliche, disengaged from the types of Judaism that I and my community call home.

Steve Greenberg's essay about refusing to choose between communities, yet never being quite situated in a single one, is the one that will stick with me.
