ABSTRACT
I am the rabbi's daughter. This simple fact has shaped and colored every aspect of my childhood and adult existence. I loved being the rabbi's daughter, and this positionality separated me from everyone except my sisters, who were also Rabbi's daughters. It separated me from those I wanted to be like and from those I never wanted to be like. It connected me to my Judaism and separated me from my Judaism. This fact shaped my choice of profession and denied me access to certain professions. It complicated every other facet of my identity formation, adding to my internal conflict as I came to terms with discovering myself as the bisexual, feminist, polyamorous, Jewish psychologist that I am today. And I am still the rabbi's daughter.
