Do we use our pain to unleash violence and hatred onto others? Or do we use our pain as an instrument of compassion, to learn to recognize the pain in others?
Amidst the violence, in response to the violence, we quietly sprinkle the world with this tender presence, creating a mirco-climate of love.
A sermon excerpt from Rabbi Miriam Grossman: Today I need to keep my humanity. And today I need to keep going even without hope. Because hope will come one day.
Elana Sztokman: When horror and sadness at the attacks is accompanied by anger at the government.
A poem from Hila Ratzabi: The earth will hold you better Than God can.
A sermon excerpt from Rabbi Sharon Brous: After the atrocities in Israel on Simhat Torah, we must remember the healing power of community, and the importance of compassion, solidarity and showing up.
A sermon excerpt from Rabbi Angela Buchdal: Words matter, because the truth matters. Let’s take care to use the right ones.
With pain in our hearts for losses past and, we fear, losses yet to come, Lilith will in coming weeks and months continue to publish the stories of Jewish feminists about terror, loss, displacement, and connection.
Anyone else feeling like this today?

Motherhood should be a choice for every single person—which means everyone should have access to the heathcare needed to support or terminate a pregnancy.
Happy Mother`s Day from Lilith.
