Oakland editor wins award for book on transgender Jewish experience

A book of essays on transgender Jews edited by Oakland resident Noach Dzmura has won a prestigious national literary award.

"Balancing on the Mechitza: Transgender in Jewish Community" won the Lambda Literary Award in the transgender nonfiction category. The awards, known as the Lammys, are given yearly to works that celebrate or explore LGBT themes.

"[The book] is promoting the idea that there is a transgender Jewish experience and transgender Jewish lives — that that's not an oxymoron, and that those two things can go together and quite harmoniously."
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Oscar Wilde
