WorldPride in the Capital: LGBT Jewish History at the Capital Jewish Museum

With WorldPride descending on D.C., we’re diving deep into a powerful and often overlooked corner of queer history. Jonathan Edelman, Collections Curator, and Sarah Leavitt, Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Capital Jewish Museum joins Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott to explore their groundbreaking exhibit: LGBT Jews in the Federal City. We discuss the stories behind the artifacts, the intersections of Jewish and LGBTQ+ identities, and how queer Jewish Washingtonians have shaped the city’s cultural and political landscape. Whether you’re a history buff, a museum nerd, or just here for the Pride, this episode brings the past to life in the most meaningful way.    For more about LGBT Jews in the Federal City at the Capital Jewish Museum, visit https://capitaljewishmuseum.org/exhibition/lgbtjews-in-the-federal-city/  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
