In Parshat Ki Tisa, the Jews, feeling lost and uncertain, create a false idol – grasping at something external instead of trusting what was already within them. We read Megillat Esther just a few days ago, where Esther hides her identity at first, believing it will protect her, only to find that stepping into her truth is what ultimately gives her power.

So many q***r Jews know this struggle – being told to blend in, to hide, to become something we’re not in order to belong. Like in Shel Silverstein’s poem Masks, how many people spend their whole lives searching for those like them, only to miss each other because they’re too afraid to be seen themselves?

Both Purim and the Parsha teach us some powerful lessons:
- You don’t have to build something false to be worthy.
- You don’t have to hide to be safe.
- You don’t have to pass by yourself – or each other – any longer.

At JQY, we create spaces where masks aren’t required, where authenticity is treasured, and where no one has to search their whole life through to find belonging.

Let your “blue” show. Live your truth. There are more of us than you ever could have imagined.

“You shall make sacred garments for your brother Aaron, for splendor and for beauty.”
Parshat Tetzaveh gives us the Torah’s most unapologetically extra moment. The Cohen Gadol (high priest) wasn’t just wearing robes – he was wearing custom, jewel-encrusted, divinely commissioned couture.

If the Torah had a red carpet, this would be it.

The breastplate? A statement piece with twelve stones representing the entire people.
The gold headplate? Literally engraved with “Holy to G!d.”

The robe? Royal blue, flowing, trimmed with golden bells and pomegranates so you could literally *hear* holiness coming down the runway.

But this isn’t just fashion for fashion’s sake. The Torah uses the phrase “for splendor and for beauty.” Jewish tradition calls this hidur mitzvah – the idea that we don’t just do sacred things, we beautify them. We elevate them. We invest in them. Because beauty matters.
And that feels especially resonant right now.

For many q***r people, beauty and self-expression are not shallow. They are survival. They are joy. They are a declaration of “I am here.” What we wear, how we present, the names we choose, the colors we claim – these are not distractions from holiness. They can be embodiments of it.

The Cohen Gadol didn’t shrink to serve. He showed up in full color, full presence, fully adorned.

Maybe holiness sometimes looks like prayer. And maybe sometimes it looks like walking into the room in a divinely inspired fit and refusing to dim your light.
Oscar nominations pending. 🏆
