writer, singer, teacher
every body beloved
From a childhood marked by dieting at age seven to becoming a fierce fat activist and founder of Fat Torah, Minna Bromberg's powerful memoir-meets-manifesto unveils the insidious harm of anti-fat bias through her own deeply personal journey. But this is more than a story; it's a revelation. Weaving together raw vulnerability with insightful interpretations of Jewish tradition, Bromberg illuminates how these ancient texts offer a surprising and potent pathway to embracing every body, ultimately inspiring a culture of profound healing and radical acceptance of all bodies as divinely created.
Every Body Beloved is due out in September 2025 from Wayne State University Press.
Rabbi Dr. Minna Bromberg brings her uniquely powerful voice—both literally and figuratively—to the urgent work of body liberation within a Jewish context. She is passionate about writing, teaching, and change-making at the nexus of social justice and spiritual care. In 2020, she founded Fat Torah with a clear and compelling mission: to shatter the idolatry of weight stigma and harness the profound resources of Jewish tradition to build a world that embraces all bodies. A gifted singer with five acclaimed albums, Minna also shares her gift by teaching others to lift their voices in song and prayer. Her own unique insights are enriched by her doctoral work in sociology (Northwestern University, 2005) and rabbinic ordination (Hebrew College, 2010). Jerusalem is home, where she lives with her family, continuing to amplify her message of liberation and acceptance.
