SARA GLASS: Kissing Girls on Shabbat

Dr Sara Glass is the author of a newly published and powerful memoir called 'Kissing Girls on Shabbat'. Born and raised in a devout Hasidic community in Brooklyn, Glass knew for sure by the age of 32 that she was gay. For those who might be skeptical about listening, thinking 'how can I relate to a gay, Jewish woman?' Trust me. While this book documents her journey through religious identity and sexual orientation, it also takes a deeply personal look at other universal topics - such as family trauma, grief, divorce and mental health. There's even a comparison drawn to how Hasidic women and Irish women - during the height of the Catholic Church's influence - were treated at vulnerable moments, such as after childbirth. Give it a listen, and let us know what you think!
