A moment for some Purim treats in the Lilith office (ft. Special guests, sparkling apple cider and Hamentashen from @wgbergdesserts )!
"Purim’s command is not only to celebrate, but to tell the truth. To notice whose bodies are still treated as expendable, whose silence is mistaken for consent, and whose suffering is hidden behind pageantry and power. If we honor Esther truly, we must confront a world where women and children continue to be trafficked—unequally protected and too often unseen."
Read "Purim`s Dark Side" by Daphne Lazar Price and Lori Cohen now at Lilith Online — 🔗 in bio.
