JQT Hanukkah Hotties - November 28 - December 5, 2021: For each candle of the holiday, JQT invited a Hanukkah Hottie to light their hanukkiah or share another tradition, and chit chat about their life, craft, activism and intersecting Jewish queer trans identities for the duration of the candles burning!

This series is being generously supported by Creating Accessible Neighbourhoods (CANBC), an organization that advocates for and educates about disabled people with intersecting identities. Learn more at www.canbc.org

These are recordings from Facebook livestreams. Closed Captioning available!

Featured in the Jewish Independent and Stir!
