For many queer Jews, Jewish tradition seems like a rich tapestry which at best ignores them and at worst rejects them entirely. In reality, queerness and queer Judaism have been a constant subplot of Jewish history, if only we care to look. Spanning almost two millennia and containing translations from more than a dozen languages, Noam Sienna's new book, A Rainbow Thread: An Anthology of Queer Jewish Texts From the First Century to 1969, collects for the first time more than a hundred sources on the intersection of Jewish and queer identities. Covering poetry, drama, literature, law, midrash, and memoir, this anthology suggests that Jewish texts are not just obstacles to be overcome in the creation of queer Jewish life, but also potential resources waiting to be excavated. Through an unprecedented examination of the histories of gender and sexuality over two millennia of Jewish life around the world, this book inspires and challenges its readers to create a better future through a purposeful reflection on our past.

Her charge to maintain the balance between light and dark easily accomplished as she helps Niko. Now the ancestors have spoken up, guiding both Niko and herself to what they have affectionately termed, 'the ass end of the world' where a small group of magic novices unwittingly open an antique locket and an ancient evil is once more loosed upon the world, devouring the rest of the immortals, taking Niko hostage and letting loose an ancient powerful being known simply as the Dragon. But everything is not as it seems when Sienna suddenly finds herself the target for every Duke and the very King of Hell himself. For the first time in ten thousand years Sienna finds herself taking on the worst evil ever encountered without her partner Niko by her side. Failure will mean the end of everything she knows, including both Heaven and Hell.

She's moved forward, but has she really moved ahead? Social worker Sienna St. James is no stranger to setbacks. As far as she is concerned, her estranged husband set her back and off course over a decade ago. Now, she has reclaimed her sense of hope and purpose, set up a new therapy practice, bought a new home, and has finally moved on. Maybe. When a wealthy, secretive new couple shes counseling pulls her into their very real life-and-death drama, and her long-lost husbands whereabouts can no longer be ignored, Sienna realizes the truth about what has kept her emotionally frozen and fragile—its fear. Ready or not, she has frightening challenges to overcome: a kidnapping, a teenage son whos gone AWOL, a tired-of-waiting potential new beau, and a journalist whos made it clear that hes interested in getting more from her than the breaking news the twists in her life are offering. Torn by professional and personal struggles that have now become a full blown war, Sienna must come face-to-face with her deepest fears—and survive them—before its too late.
