Letter From The Editors

Olivia Katz Brooke Botwinick Tamar Ladd

Welcome to the first issue of Jewish Queer Magazine! We started with the idea of creating a safe place for Jewish and Queer individuals to share their experiences, identities, and art. Over the past six months our project idea has grown and blossomed into this magazine.

We aspire to give individuals the opportunity to feel empowered, safe and represented in sharing their unique voices. Jewish Queer Magazine will educate readers about intersectional identities by using artwork and written compositions to validate experiences and new traditions.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our vision and shared their stories. A special thank you to Moving Traditions: Kol Koleinu for giving us the opportunity to create social change and to our incredible sponsors Sojourn and JQ International. We hope you enjoy this magazine!
