The Mystical Voice: Rabbi Mychal Copeland on Queering Kabbalah
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Rabbi Mychal Copeland discusses reading the Zohar in a Queer context. This short, lunchtime gallery talk is inspired by the work of Annabeth Rosen, whose practice draws on cycles of destruction and creation.
Rabbi Mychal Copeland is the rabbi at Congregation Sha'ar Zahav in San Francisco. She speaks and writes about the inclusion of LGBTQI people and interfaith families in religious life. Rabbi Copeland is the co-editor of "Struggling in Good Faith: LGBTQI Inclusion from 13 American Religious Perspectives" (Skylight Paths Publishing, 2015). Prior to joining Sha'ar Zahav, Rabbi Copeland was the Director of InterfaithFamily Bay Area where she helped couples navigate a diversity of religious and cultural backgrounds. She served for thirteen years as a university Rabbi, first at UCLA and later at Hillel at Stanford University. She earned a Masters in Theological Studies and Secondary Teaching Credential from Harvard Divinity School in 1995, and a rabbinical degree from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in 2000. In 2005 she was recognized as being an Exemplar of Excellence by Hillel's International Center, the highest individual honor for Hillel professionals. She served as the Cooperberg-Rittmaster Rabbinic Intern at Congregation Beth Simchat Torah in New York City, the world's largest Jewish LGBTQ community and has carried that work into her career with college students. Mychal is a certified yoga instructor and fuses Jewish spirituality with movement in her yoga teaching.
Presented in conjunction with the current exhibition "Annabeth Rosen: Fired, Broken, Gathered, Heaped" and in partnership with HAMAQOM/The Place.
