🕎🔥 For each candle of the holiday, JQT invited a Hanukkah Hottie to join us to light their hanukkiah or share another tradition, and chit chat about their life, craft, activism and intersecting Jewish queer trans identities for the duration of the candles burning!
This year, our community partner is LGBTQ at the J, the heart of Toronto’s LGBTQ+ Jewish community, providing queer Jews opportunities to gather, celebrate and thrive.
🕯️🎥 One Hanukkah Hottie video was posted each day on JQT's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/jqtvan/videos and have been uploaded to YouTube post-production: https://youtube.com/@jqtvan
🔤 JQT volunteers added closed captioning to each episode.
💰 This series was generously supported by Creating Accessible Neighbourhoods (CANBC), an organization that advocates for and educates about disabled people with intersecting identities. Learn more at www.canbc.org
