Today's show features Leana Jelen Tapnack, a sign language interpreter, soferet, and native Yiddish speaker, who lives in Manhattan together with her wife. In this episode Leana and I talk about giving ourselves permission to explore, and of learning to love all the pieces of our identities: queer, Jewish, and otherwise.
