LILITH Magazine — Independent, Jewish & Frankly Feminist

	Why is the magazine called LILITH?
	According to myth and legend, Lilith was the first woman, created before Eve. She was Adam’s absolute equal. In the Garden of Eden, long before the eating of the apple, the Holy One created the first human beings — a man named Adam, and a woman named Lilith. Lilith said, "We are equal because we are created from the same earth." — from the medieval text Alphabet of Ben Sira, 23a-b

LILITH magazine charts Jewish women’s lives with exuberance, rigor, affection, subversion and style. The magazine features award-winning investigative reports, new rituals and celebrations, first-person accounts both contemporary and historical, entertainment reviews, fiction and poetry, art and photography.

LILITH is a magazine independent in every way, from its opinions to its financing (this nonprofit magazine is not sponsored by any institution).

LILITH brings new ideas and interpretations of the zeitgeist before they become cover stories in other news magazines. LILITH's coverage of "J.A.P. baiting" on college campuses, publications of works of "forgotten" women writers, analysis of infertility among Jewish women, reports on clergy abuse, women's philanthropy, body image and eating disorders, and crises for interfaith families has spurred extensive media attention

Writers include established names like Cynthia Ozick, Grace Paley, Letty Cottin Pogrebin, Nessa Rapoport, Blu Greenberg, Allegra Goodman, Myla Goldberg and more. And LILITH brings you emerging writers whom you’ll meet first in these pages.
