Israel/Zionism See other Israel/Zionism Articles Title: Meet The Lesbian Hired By A Jesuit University As Its ‘Rabbi-In-Residence’ To ‘Queer’ Its Christian Students (Jewish News Of Northern California) Since becoming University of San Francisco’s rabbi-in-residence in 2019, Rabbi Camille Angel has been busy, whether she’s creating inclusive on-campus spaces, helping to empower students through her classes, officiating Jewish lifecycle events or leading Passover seders: When Angel’s hiring was announced, it made headlines. A Jesuit Catholic university appointing a rabbi-in-residence was unprecedented, especially when that rabbi is a lesbian and longtime LGBTQ activist. She says credit for her presence on campus is largely due to the Swig Program in Jewish Studies and Social Justice. “I was trained and I’m a rabbi to serve Jews, and I do — I led a shiva two nights ago, so I’m definitely still serving Jews,” Angel told J. “But there’s something remarkable for me and totally unexpected about my rabbinate being primarily among non-Jews at this point and that my teaching is primarily with non-Jews.” According to Angel, there is only one Jewish student in her “Queering Religion” class of 40. The other students represent a mix of religious affiliations, but they gravitate to Angel’s classes and programs because of the inclusive queer community she has cultivated on campus… Angel said it’s important for her to be a visibly Jewish and queer presence on campus — both in and out of the classroom. She regularly wears an embroidered kippah and keeps a rainbow pride flag displayed in her office window. She emphasizes how much real representation and inclusion matter, especially when many students have never interacted with Judaism or Jewish thought or even met a rabbi. “Students will often ask me, ‘What should I call you? Professor? Doctor? Rabbi?’” Angel said. “I tell them to call me rabbi, because everyone needs a rabbi, and if you didn’t have one before, now you do.” Angel, who had been lecturing at USF for several years before joining the seven-person University Ministry staff as the on-campus rabbi, places a lot of emphasis on being a positive, identity-affirming spiritual adviser regardless of students’ backgrounds or belief systems. Angel finds that many of her students’ relationships with religion often are complicated by negative experiences due to their sexual orientations or gender identities. But they are also curious and seeking for themselves to figure out whether they want to explore spirituality. “When I was teaching my first [theology] class, I encountered so many people who’d been really damaged and hurt by religion, or who had chosen not to be associated with religion, because they could see that it hurt people they loved,” said Angel. According to USF, a majority of undergraduate students are unaffiliated with a religion, while others identify as Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, atheist or Protestant. Fewer than half are Catholic...... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "Lesbian"? Maybe college teaching is getting like tennis -- you have to examine 'em to see what sex they really are. I ask you, can the judaization get any more blatant than this? Yes -- it can. And will. NN Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest

When I lived in Chicago there was a gay bar and Lesbian bar a couple of blocks apart. I stayed away from BOTH of them. One night there was a fight at the corner tap and the windows got broken out. This guy wanted a beer, so he went across the street to The Blue Pub. Some guy grabbed his ass and he punched him out. I heard the cops came and arrested him. When he got in front of the Judge, the Judge said, "I'm tired of you tough guys beating up the gays." He gave him 30 days in Cook County Jail. :-/ "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke

We were working Melissa Etheridge in Chicago. I was standing at front row on Stage Left. I had a woman partner to my right. Those pushy bitches would go past me and hit on her in an attempt to get up front. I would tap them on shoulder and say, "Go back to your seat." ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
