Oy Vey, the Rabbi is Gay: A Short Story by Rabbi Daniel Brenner

Rabbi Daniel Brenner has graciously submitted his short story, Oy Vey, the Rabbi is Gay to our resources library.

The story is designed for children, including young children. A closeted gay rabbi's sexual orientation becomes known to two of his members, one of whom is an angry Mr. Birnbaum. After some soul-searching and a heart-to-heart talk with the rabbi, Mr. Birnbaum realizes that the struggles he faced as a result of his choice of a life-partner were similar in many ways to what the gay rabbi faced.
