Gender Unpacked: Exploring Gender, Judaism, and Allyship with Rabbi Micah Buck of Keshet

What is gender, and how does it shape our identities, communities, and values? Jews for a Secular Democracy and Keshet invite you to explore the fundamental concepts of gender, how it differs from sex and sexual orientation, and what Jewish texts and traditions say about it.

We’ll break down key gender terms, discuss how gender identity develops, and highlight why understanding these concepts is essential for fostering inclusive communities and being better allies. Rabbi Micah Buck (he/they) is Director of Education & Training at Keshet, where he supports organizations across the spectrum of Jewish life to build communities in which LGBTQ+ Jews and our families can thrive. Moderated by Katie Reiter (she/her), National Director of Jews for a Secular Democracy.
