Fall in love with your tradition.
As we wrap up 2024, we hope you’ll consider a donation to Practicing Possibility, helping SVARA deepen and expand our work as a yeshiva dedicated to nurturing queer and trans Jews as shapers of Tradition. Together, we can make our vision of a just and liberatory future a reality.
The Meaning of Svara
2,000 years ago, the Rabbis of the Talmud used the word svara to refer to one’s moral intuition. Today, we inspire our learners through deep Jewish learning and equip them with the skills, tools, and orientations they need to push our tradition forward.


Publications & Resources
SVARA is home to a growing collection of innovative resources created by our community, from Talmudic commentary to trans-authored rituals and teshuvot.
