I would like to know–curious; non-Jewish person here–how a Jewish person who happens to be homosexual is supposed to be “really happy” during Shavuot, which celebrates the Torah, which includes that infamous book of Leviticus, which includes that even more infamous text, which I don’t think I need to mention? Also, how are modern day individuals to have modern day conversations, in an attempt to relate that time period to their lives, if they happen to be gay?
Dear Rabbi Shira Stutman and Rabbi Cherie Harder,
