Hebrew Pronoun Pins by Exploring Judaism
Share your Hebrew pronouns with pride and make every space a welcoming one! Each pin features a pronoun set in Hebrew Torah font on a background color of your choosing.

We worked with our partners in Israel to create a list of pronoun sets that show how our language is being adapted to reflect queer identities. And we chose to set it in the Torah font so we can all see ourselves in Torah.

(Bulk pin options available! Consider purchasing in bulk for your congregation, camp staff, or other groups.)
