What's Fringes about?
Fringes is a bi-weekly podcast made by and about trans and gender non-conforming Jews about our experiences with tallitot and tzitztit. Each episode interviews a different trans Jew about their relationship to these ritual Jewish garments. Sometimes this is about the struggle to find home in a traditionally gendered garment and ritual, others it’s about the creativity and joy trans Jews find in making a ritual our own. Fringes features rabbis, musicians, artists, friends, friends of friends, and is looking to continue interviewing people who feel some connection to this ritual. Fringes is sponsored by Advah Designs and hosted by Emma June Youcha, trans employee of Advah Designs. The episodes, along with transcriptions of the show, definitions, and additional information, will be available at advahdesigns.com/fringes. Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions!
