A skillfully captured moment in time, a dramatic moment of transition that carries with it the weight of the ages when a child asks a parent for understanding. A moment for wisdom as both the child and the parent reach out to one another within a web of ancient Jewish traditions. Lovely.

What a lovely exploration of non-binary identity as it intersects with Jewish identity! I appreciate how Emma Goldman-Sherman lets Adele's reaction to Deb's desire to be "Not a Bat Mitzvah" with authenticity and empathy. Parents don't always understand, but it's refreshing to see a Jewish parent take their child's queerness in stride, with an interpretive response that embraces the before of them and prepares for what comes next.
