“…According to Schneider and Roncolato (2012, p. 4), in the 1970s, gay male theologians were among the first to establish a connection between theology and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, Queer+ (LGBTQ+) liberation movement. Following the Stonewall riots, they actively sought tools to challenge Christian homophobia and to engage in theological discussions from their own context.…”

Since the late 1960s, the American Jewish community has worked to find creative ways to include lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, Queer+ (LGBTQ+) people in community practices and Jewish liturgy. The pioneering egalitarian denomination was and remains the Reform Jewish Movement, which promotes and supports gender equality and sexual diversity. This paper proposes a typology of queer Jewish liturgy based on classification into two categories: time and space. By exploring these specific categories, the texts expose a bipolar relationship between LGBTQ+s and divine individuals, LGBTQ+s and heterosexual/cisgender individuals, and LGBTQ+s and themselves. By analyzing particular queer prayers, I argue that this liturgy, created by American Jewish clergy, is characterized by inherent structural contradictions, which reflect tendencies and changes not only in non‐halachic Jewish communities but also in queer ideology and gay politics. Thus, the textual dimension is revealed as a vivid landscape that characterizes the dynamics of LGBTQ+ Jewish people between temporal, fragile, and safe spaces, painful memories and proud feelings, and victim consciousness and social agency.

For theologically inflected introductions, see Cheng (2011), Cornwall (2011), Greenough (2020), Schneider and Roncolato (2012), and Tonstad (2018). In addition, just as de Lauretis understood her queer theory to be distinct from gay and lesbian studies, this essay focuses on texts, questions, and concepts that are central to queer theory and its development rather than on queer studies more broadly.…”
