Lilith Feature

When “Doing Jewish” Works

In This Feature

Nina Lichtenstein
The Making of a Viking Jewess

This Scandinavian socialist embraced her boyfriend’s NRA-supporting, right-wing Orthodox family when she converted to Judaism. After her 25-year marriage comes unglued, her Jewish identity is what sticks.

Lisa Braver Moss
Saying Kaddish for Bad Parents

This prayer praises God in the face of profound loss. Does it matter that the author’s parents were lost to her even while they were still alive?

Independent, jewish & frankly feminist

Since 1976, Lilith magazine charts Jewish women’s lives with exuberance, rigor, affection, subversion and style.
