We are now accepting submissions for an upcoming book of essays that explores the dynamic intersection between neurodiversity, Torah, and Judaism.
Our project aims to amplify the diverse voices within the Neurodistinct Jewish community, inviting contributors to share their personal narratives, insights, and reflections on how their unique ND perspectives shape their interactions with Torah and Jewish practices.
Neurodistinct can mean a number of things. While thought about primarily as autism and ADHD, it also includes Bipolar, Downs Syndrome, Tourettes, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and many more.
Submissions are encouraged from individuals who identify as ND and Jewish, offering a platform for authentic, diverse expressions that will be compiled into a thought-provoking book that explores the multifaceted connections between neurodivergence and Judaism. Jewish people from ALL denominations are encouraged to submit. NO ONE has a monopoly on Torah!
If you know anyone that may want to contribute or be interested in the project, please spread the word!
I am the co-editor of a forthcoming essay collection about how neurodivergent Jews interact with Torah and Judaism and we are currently accepting submissions. The essays will be published in a book and authors will be compensated.
Divrei Torah, personal experiences, visions for a brighter future, and everything in between are welcome!

@serge found this via @histodons I see you deleted it. Can you plz explain why did you need to do? Is it the #Arabic text that's triggering you? You claim to be an inclusive instance. How so?
yeah… right. I’m sure موسى بن ميمون (aka #Maimonides), author of دلالة الحائرين (The Guide for the Perplexed), only the most influential #Torah scholar, and author of the most important philosophical and influential work in Judaism written in عربية يهودية (Judeo-Arabic), is rolling in his grave.
TIL that the term "Mizrahi" is a reclaimed term, originally a racist term and slurrish, it's since been reclaimed by those Jews as a way to self-identify, especially for those Jews who live in Israel.
I've only heard it in the context of its reclaimed use, but knowing the history is important.
@serge@dorit@histodons@israel yeah… right.
