Hamsa: Being Gay and Jewish - News - Mitzpeh
 Event I attended at UMD: On March 2, Lesléa Newman, author of more than 60 books, spoke to an audience of more than 30 at the Hillel about what it means to share Jewish and gay identities.

The presentation, titled “How Can You Be a Lesbian? You’re Jewish,” was part of the two-day Hamsa Shabbat, described by Hamsa outreach chair Bruria Hammer-Bleich as “Hamsa’s biggest event of the semester.”
