Rebekah Erev On Love, Magic, Tu B'Av, And The Evil Eye

Welcome back to Disloyal! We’ve been on a production break over the summer, and will be back in your feeds soon with a brand new series about the Jewish Museum of Maryland’s current exhibit Blacklist: The Hollywood Red Scare. 

But this week we have a special episode hosted by Naomi Weintraub (they/them), production assistant for Disloyal and Community Artist-in-Residence at the Jewish Museum of Maryland. Naomi speaks with Rebekah Erev about reclaiming Jewish magic, holidays, time, and rituals, and what the summer full moon festival of Tu B’Av can teach us about love in all its manifestations.

Rebekah Erev (they/them) is an artist, a teacher, and a kohenet, Hebrew priestexx. Rebekah is co-creator of the Queer Mikveh Project, a collaborator on the Olam HaBa: Dreaming The World To Come planner project, and creator of the Moon Angels/Malakh Halevanah Oracle Deck and the in progress Golden Oracle.
