nivrah bein hashmashot, or נברא בין השמשות, a Hebrew phrase meaning “created between the suns,” is a term for queer Jewish folks. it refers to the time between the sixth and seventh days of creation, during which g-d created several important things with the connecting theme of not fitting into binaries. nivrah bein hashmashot is an umbrella term for Jewish queerness and queer Jewishness; it can be used by queer Jews of any queer identity and any Jewish denomination! it was first coined here by @magnetothemagnificent, alongside the term ovrim, another umbrella term for queer Jews; for more detail on the thought behind or meaning of either term, check that post out!
