Lexi Kohanski (she/her) is a queer, white Ashkenazi, trans female Jewish educator and Torah scholar who focuses on empowering those of us who have not felt at home in Judaism to own our texts and traditional lifeways. She is a thought leader in the realm of trans Torah; in her essay Be Whole: A Halakhic Approach to Gender and Transition, published as part of SVARA’s Trans Halakha Project, Lexi lays out a pathbreaking halakhic framework for relating to Jewish gender transition as a sacred undertaking. She has given talks on trans identity in Torah at synagogues on both coasts and in Scotland. Her YouTube channel, T4Torah, is likely the only active, public Torah-learning space on the Internet entirely by and for transgender Jews. She is designing a first-of-its-kind tabletop roleplaying game to teach Biblical Hebrew. Lexi serves as The Torah Studio’s Director of Online Learning.
