    Some people focus

    On Lev. 18:22

    That is a mistake

    -

    Lots of Torah laws

    Are looked at diff'rently now

    We don't enforce them

    -

    Remember that gays

    Created in G-d's image

    Should not be condemned

    -

    Our Reform Movement

    Teaches that gay, straight or bi

    Are treated the same

    -

    The lesbian Rav

    Marries two gay Jewish men

    And we say: "Ze Tov"*


    *[this is good]

    We still don't put a

    Stumbling block before the blind.

    We too are holy.


    The Holiness Code

    Is still so relevant that

    It's read Yom Kippur!
