Queer Talmud Camp

A gathering of queer folks, radicals, and seekers who come together for five days to immerse themselves in rigorous yeshiva-style learning in warm, loving, and joyful community.

At Queer Talmud Camp we build a vibrant learning space that celebrates queer culture, cultivates intergenerational relationships, and reveals the deeply rooted radical queerness of the Jewish tradition.

As we continue to navigate accessibility and COVID-19 concerns, our residential Queer Talmud Camp is on hiatus.

We are thrilled to host Day Camps in five cities in August 2024. We cannot wait to see you! Registration is now open.

Two people embrace one another in a large open field. It is a sunny day and large green trees stretch out behind them. The face of one person is visible, and they are smiling as their arms wrap around the shoulders of the other person.
