Andrew Ramer is a writer whose work is grounded in narratives from parallel realities. He’s the author of Torah Told Different: Stories for a Pan/Poly/Post-Denominational Era, Queering the Text: Biblical, Medieval, and Modern Jewish Stories, and Two Flutes Playing, which has been called a gay underground classic. The world’s first ordained interfaith maggid (sacred storyteller), he is a longtime member of Congregation Sha’ar Zahav in San Francisco, in whose marvelously innovative siddur many of his prayers and blessings appear: shaarzahav.org/our-siddur/.
Born in Queens, New York across the street from an amusement park named Fairyland, he now lives in Oakland, up the street from an amusement park named Fairyland, where he’s at work on a book about Serach, an immortal woman in Jewish folklore. Visit Ramer's site at andrewramer.com.
