Talmud: "That which is crooked cannot be made straight." From this we learn that trying to "straighten" what isn't meant to be straight is a pointless exercise. The Talmud, therefore, teaches that Conversion Therapy is both abusive and futile.

#QueerDafYomi [CN: trauma, mental health, addiction, oppression] The Talmud says the goodness of the World-to-Come is beyond human comprehension. The reward is like "wine that has been preserved" since creation. 1/xPrikaži ovu nit -
According to the Talmud: - Scorpions are deadlier than snakes - Scorpions & snakes are deadlier than lions - A black ox is deadlier than an innocuous ox - Rabbi Hanina ben Dosa is deadlier than a large dangerous snake (arvad). Stay safe while praying, friends.

According to Maharsha, "anyone without knowledge" refers to someone who negates their existence by failing to realize their potential. Therefore, being true to ourselves is the greatest form of intelligence. We honour our existence by living authentically.

Talmud: For someone who owns it, a large vessel seems to be the size of a small vessel. For someone who needs it, a small vessel seems to be the size of a large vessel. Our sages say this applies to boulders too.

Talmud: "Any priest who killed someone may not say the priestly blessing." Because this blessing occurs during communal prayer, we learn that even people who do bad things aren't locked away. No one is irredeemable; we heal together as a community.

Talmud: Having too much luxury and wealth leads to sin. In other words, the Talmud says "Abolish billionaires".

Talmud (quoting Jeremiah): "Like clay in a potter's hand, so are you in my hand, House of Israel." So, today I learned God is Patrick Swayze in Ghost.

There is a consistent pattern in the Talmud of the sages not truly respecting the human dignity of humans who aren't in the room with them. I salute your
#QueerDafYomi readings, but I quail at the energy it takes.#ParshaChat is hard enough -
Talmud: * makes a racist/ableist/sexist interpretation* Me: But you said human dignity overrides mitzvot T: Yes Me: What's more important - mitzvot or interpretations? T: Mitzvot Me: Then obviously dignity > interpretations Remember kids, the Talmud makes mistakes

Talmud: A blind person & one who can't approximate directions may focus their heart to God during prayer. This rule precedes the list of places to face while praying. We learn from this that we must anticipate access needs BEFORE they arise.

Talmud: Pray to God to provide each and every one with necessary sustenance and to provide each and every body with all that it lacks. In other words, resources must be distributed according to need. Food and healthcare are human rights.

R' Gamliel: so I might be rosh yeshiva His wife: but your hair isn't even white! how will they know you're wise enough? and behold, his hair turned white From this we learn it's fine & good to change your body to match your true self

R Yehoshua to R Gamliel: "Woe unto the generation whose leader you are as you know not of their struggles." The Talmud teaches that good leaders need to be aware of the lived experience of marginalized people. And who better to lead than the people themselves?

When Rabbi Elazar became head of the Yeshiva, he dismissed the doorkeeper at the study hall to allow all students to enter. From this we learn that all barriers to education must be removed. School should be free and accessible to everyone.
#QueerDafYomi (Berakhot 28) -
Rabbis: Would you consent to being Head of the Yeshiva? Rabbi Elazar: I need to consult with my household. Therefore, the Talmud endorses the slogan "nothing about us without us". We learn that people who'd be impacted by a decision must be involved in making it.

This comes from me as someone with urinary incontinence but I think is applicable to the next few dafs. Lots of bodily function talk. You know that if a rabbi was dealing with this it would be taken into account.
