In celebration of Pride Month and The Book of Life's 20th year of podcasting, I'm re-releasing an archival episode from June, 2021. It's an interview with Adam Eli, a young activist and author of The New Queer Conscience, a manifesto about how the queer community can use k'lal yisrael as a model for solidarity.
