Rabbi Eli Kukla leads a gender diversity workshop as part of MCC's series on "Bridges of Faith: Bonds of Love" course held this year. This workshop featured a discussion of gender in ancient Jewish scriptures. Rabbi Kukla sees God as wanting diversity and asks what it means to be a fully self-expressed human being and how that might be related to our gender.
