Exploring themes of queer identity within a rich historical context, this collection engages with traditional midrashim and medieval homoerotic love poetry. Drawing inspiration from Jewish feminist thought, the author utilizes narrative techniques reminiscent of ancient rabbis to reimagine and affirm queer lives throughout the three-thousand-year history of the Jewish people. The stories challenge conventional interpretations and envision alternate realities, blending the sacred and the contemporary in a unique literary tapestry.

The narrative introduces a vibrant cast of supernatural characters, including an urban demon, a suburban witch, a Jewish vampire, and a golem named Judith. Readers will explore intriguing themes through encounters with historical figures like Marx, Freud, and Einstein in the afterlife, alongside lost Jewish texts and messianic missions. The story also features a quirky angel and a complaining counterpart, adding humor and depth to this imaginative exploration of identity and belief in a magical context.

Angels have been with us in every time and culture, and in many religious traditions. Ask Your Angels vividly chronicles how they are currently reaching out to every one of us in a totally new way, bridging our physical reality with their pure spiritual energy. From historical writings and widespread contemporary experience that includes their own workshops, the authors show us how we can draw on the power of angels to reconnect with our lost inner selves and to achieve our goals, whether they be better relationships, healing an illness, or recovery from addiction To align with the angelic energy field, you will use five simple steps, as well as exercises, meditations, and visualizations, to learn how to talk with your angels—in your mind, in letters, in dreams, on a computer—and ask their guidance in matters from the inspired to the mundane. From Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, and Uriel to the angels of birth and death, from the Earth Angel to the guardian or companion angel who is your personal teacher, comforter, and intimate friend, this guide will introduce you to humor, wisdom, and companionship that come from contact with angels, for they are a doorway to the Divine within us.
