Queer Jews Project Day 16 - Abby Stein

A direct descendant of the Baal Shem Tov, Abby grew up in a Hasidic community – and part of a prominent family. She figured her true self, in part, by reading the Hebrew wikipedia page for transgender. After coming out, she left her community – a journey she described in her memoir, Becoming Eve. The first woman – let alone the first openly transgender woman – to be ordained by an Orthodox institution, Abby has continued to work as a rabbi and an activist.

Shana Tova! Here are picks of my Rosh Hashana outfit and matching nails.

Vid of my nails has no sound.

Shirt and skirt with pockets from @nerdykeppie.

Also, huge shoutout to Kinetic Color Foundry for these fidget rings that are saving me these High Holy Days. These are made by one neurodivergent person with a 3D printer who could use a lot more love.

I ordered this Star of David design years ago through the custom form if anyone is interested (she also has an etsy but it's better to order through her site if you can):

Close-up pics of nails and more details under cut.

I normally buy a new dress for Rosh Hashana but wasn't able to this year. Day-of I realized that I hadn't worn this outfit yet so I was able to say Shecheheyanu over some amazing clothes designed by a queer Jew.

This outfit also helped inspire these fun Trans Octopus Rosh Hashana nails. I only had one octopus design which I repeated, and I used a koi fish to emulate the eel and create some texture. Super happy with how they turned out. I may do it again in the future if I get a stamping plate with more sea animal designs.

Here they are on a backdrop of the NK skirt.

And here they are on my little design board. I like taking pics on here because it's easy to arrange in a way that the words are readable. :)

Base polish is One Coat Black from Holo Taco. Octopus design and stamping polishes from Maniology, koi fish from random Amazon set, Hebrew stamping plate was from Etsy and was the only one so no link to share unfortunately.

Help a Disabled Trans Jew Afford Rent & Groceries

I hate to have to keep asking for help, but I’m a few hundred short on rent + groceries again this month, and I still can’t afford to fix my car, so I could really use some assistance.

I’ve been able to do odd jobs & commissions, but I’m still struggling finding more consistent/permanent employment that works with my situation.

anything helps 💙

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility everyone! You are loved, you are awesome and you are perfect🏳️‍⚧️

To me, being trans is one of the most incredible blessings a human can receive from HaShem. From the moment we take our first breath, we are given the wondrous opportunity to mould ourselves b'tzelem Elohim–in the image of G-d. Every day we get to decide what b'tzelem Elohim means for us; we get to lovingly form ourselves like clay, every iteration a reflection of the Divine all on its own, into the image… the person that HaShem always knew we could become.

Blessing for Trans Intimacy

As you touch your lips say the following blessing:

ברוכֶה אתה יי אלהימותינ�� רוח העולמים אשר יצרה את האדם בחכמה ובראה בנו נקבים נקבים חלולים חלולים

Transliteration:

B’ruche ateh ‘’, elohimoteinu, ruach ha’olameem

Asher yatzreh et ha-adam b'chochmah

Uvare'eh vanu n’kavim n’kavim chalulim chalulim

Translation:

Praise the Source of Life, Life of Many Worlds, who creates our bodies with Wisdom, creating holes and hollows.

Blessed is the One

For letting me see the holiness in others

The sacredness of scars on a chest

The holiness of one who has learned to love themselves

Who renew their creation

The mitzvah of my lips on their body

Gloriously exploring each other

For seeing each other is like seeing the face of G’d

like the reason jkr denied book burnings of trans medical books isn't even antisemitism, it's because she refuses to acknowledge trans people existed in the past.

is it holocaust denial? yes, that's a documented event that happened as part of the holocaust, and she's denying it. but why do you care? because it's about you, it's about her engaging in holocaust denial to deny trans identities, not about her actually denying a part of the holocaust.

some of you don't even care the reasons those books were burned is because they were written by a Jewish doctor and Nazis saw gender affirming care as a Jewish conspiracy to weaken the population, you're only mad we lost years of trans research, and that a terf is denying that.

you don't care about the holocaust, you don't care about holocaust denial, you don't care about Nazi book burnings, you care Nazis burned these specific books that relate to your identity and that one popular terf is trying to say that never happened.

the angle of orientation on a swastika (to tell if it is a Buddhist/Hindu swastika vs a nazi swastika) is so not important lol. I know that the Nazi swastika is a back to front, angle changed version but here is the news: white supremacists and nazis aren't super smart so CONTEXT of the swastika is a far far more important factor to determining if it is a Nazi or Religious symbol. I've seen targets of Nazi ideology (jews, roma, black ppl, gays, disabled ppl etc.) be upset that something has been vandalised with a swastika and tone deaf comments going "actually because of the angle it is a Buddhist swastika" read the fucking room guys... the angle is so so not important compared to the context which is a target of Nazi ideology has had something vandalised w a swastika. some of yall need 2 go back to school... some of yall need that lesson where it is explained to you that the curtains might be representing something and aren't just blue curtains... bcs ur reading of dogwhistles when they slap u in the fact is atrocious.
