Artist Debra Band has produced the first-ever fully illustrated Qohelet ((The Book of Ecclesiastes).
As a new year approaches, we are waiting in anticipation for all the exciting new books that will come with it — from queer time-traveling folklorish fantasies to reproductive health guidebooks, and everything in between.

“But there is no other title. My mother is dying. This story is really for me.”

Photographer Joan Roth was on hand to document the the hundreds who gathered outside the UN in support of Israeli victim/survivors of Oct. 7’s sexual violence.
Thank you to all who came to Lilith’s salon last night at Tsion Café in Harlem! It was such a joy to gather with intergenerational Jewish feminists for lively conversation about the themes from Lilith’s current issue, and such a treat to have several Lilith writers in our midst (including our Cover Queen Danielle Durchslag!)—not to mention the delicious noshes prepared by Ethiopian Israeli chef Beejhy Barhany (whose new Gursha cookbook recipes grace the back page of the current issue)!
We can’t wait to gather again and invite in even more of the Lilith community at the next Lilith salon in October — stay tuned for details 🩷

"Through BDSM I leave my disability for a moment, as it were, and my body actually receives a different kind of care—not medical or typical care, but care born from pleasure, giving, and enjoyment."

Do you know the feminist story behind NYC’s iconic appetizing shops?
Over the weekend, we visited Russ & Daughters’ Lower East Side café and shop and (re)visited Lilith’s 2020 article by Ruth Andrew Ellenson about the daughters of Russ Federman—and the legacy that his great-granddaughter and current owner Niki Russ Federman continues today.
