 members of the original Orthodykes groups in New York City and Jerusalem 
 and editor of "Keep Your Wives Away from Them: Orthodox Women, Unorthodox 
 Desires."\n\nReconciling queerness with religion has always been an 
 enormous challenge. When the religion is Orthodox Judaism, the task is even 
 more daunting. This anthology takes on that challenge by giving voice to 
 genderqueer Jewish women who were once silenced — and effectively 
 rendered invisible — by their faith. "Keep Your Wives Away from Them" 
 tells the story of those who have come out, who are still closeted, living 
 double lives, or struggling to maintain an integrated “single life” in 
 relationship to traditional Judaism — personal stories that are both 
 enlightening and edifying. While a number of films and books have explored 
 the lives of queer people in Orthodox and observant Judaism, only this one 
 explores in depth what happens after the struggle, when the real work of 
 building integrated lives begins. The candor of these insightful stories in 
 "Keep Your Wives Away from Them" makes the book appealing to a general 
 audience and students of women’s, gender, and LGBTIQQP studies, as well 
 as for anyone struggling personally with the same issue.\n\n"Keep Your 
 Wives Away from Them" is the winner of the 2011 Golden Crown Literary Award 
 for best anthology and is the book which served as inspiration for the 
 documentary, "Orthodykes".\n\nMiryam Kabakov founded and facilitated the 
 New York Orthodykes, is the former director of GLBT programming at the 
 Jewish Community Center in Manhattan, and was the national program director 
 of AVODAH: The Jewish Service Corps. She is currently an independent film 
 curator in the Twin Cities.\n\nWe hope you will join us for an enlightening 
 evening with this amazing woman!\n\nMore Info:\nTemple Beth El
