Join Sara Glass and Eli Zuzovsky in a con­ver­sa­tion about dis­cov­er­ing your­self and your queer­ness in an Jew­ish com­mu­ni­ty. Through both fic­tion and non­fic­tion, this con­ver­sa­tion will dive into who we are taught to be, who we want to be, and how we learn to choose who we are inside.

Sara Glass, PhD, LCSW, is a ther­a­pist, writer, and speak­er who helps mem­bers of the queer com­mu­ni­ty and indi­vid­u­als who have sur­vived trau­ma to live bold, hon­est, and proud lives. She lives in Man­hat­tan, New York. Find out more at DrSara​Glass​.com.
