Faculty Fellow

Natalie Boskin fell in love with the Talmud when they first cracked open a mesechet at the 2017 Queer Talmud Camp and has been a dedicated SVARA learner ever since. Natalie is passionate about cultivating tools that allow us to remain present with the thorniest moments in torah and transform them into texts of radical empowerment- they are intent to turn it and turn it to see what else is in it. When Natalie isn’t eyebrows deep in torah and dictionaries, they’re likely doing something like salsa dancing, singing nigunim, or gettin’ some kitten cuddles.
