SVARAs mission is to empower queer and trans people to expand Torah and tradition through the spiritual practice of Talmud study. We understand the Jewish tradition not as a static inheritance but rather a flexible, adaptive legacy committed to change. By studying the ways the Rabbis overturned and upgraded their laws to create a more just society for their time, our students uncover pathways to make similar change in our own time.
