Summary/Abstract: The article is an analyse of two main strategies which are adopted by feminist and lesbian activists who reinterpret Jewish tradition and ritual. The text shows that lesbians are excluded in both orthodox (conservative) Jewish community and also in liberal movement. I try to present a deep picture of the excluded group situation. However at the same time I present also how lesbian activists reconfigure or reject oppressive patterns and propose their own emancipatory theological ideas. The key question of the text is: if the changes which are presented by feminist and lesbian theology are adopted in different Jewish communities and if they may change the core of Judaism.
