John Hilgeman interviews Andy Rose, co-editor of the book "Twice Blessed: On Being Lesbian, Gay, and Jewish," and director of the National Jewish Aging Project. Rose discusses the book's exploration of alternative identities for lesbian and gay Jews beyond remaining closeted or leaving the community. He highlights the book's diverse personal stories, traditional Jewish texts, and community-building efforts. Rose emphasizes the importance of claiming Jewish identity fully and the need for the Jewish community to address anti-gay sentiment. He also touches on the historical connections between anti-Jewish and anti-gay oppression and the role of lesbians and gay men as role models in the Jewish community.
