Hi! I just found your blog from the leather and judaism post and...say, do you perhaps have more to read about this? This really struck a nerve with me (in the good way!!!) because I really like leather and am coming to terms with it atm + I would like to convert one day, so reading about judaism is always great.
first of all, my dms and asks are always open! second, i haven't found a lot about judaism and leather specifically, but people have been talking quite a bit about judaism and kink. i'll link some sources that might be helpful and list them by category! i added tbr to the ones i haven't had time to read/explore in depth yet. also i just started weinberg and am in the middle of townsend. also i've heard talks that actually the leather dykes were discussing leather spirituality before the gay men were, but i haven't had the time to search for that atp
