With 57 days to Election Day, we are returning to Phyllis Stern`s poem "Fagel Speaks," from Lilith`s Spring 1987 issue for political inspiration.
Phyllis wrote: "This poem is based on the diary of my aunt Fagel Shtern, a teacher and labor leader in the Yiddish community of New York, written during the last year of her life. She died in childbirth in 1936." May her memory be a blessing.

Like so many of you this week, we are returning—to school, to work, to preparing for the new year. We must shrug off the chaotic latitude of summer and resume our now unfamiliar routines—often under a heavy blanket of grief that can be so everpresent, we don’t even realize it’s there.
In the midst of all this, the Jewish month of Elul began on Tuesday. Traditionally, Elul is a time to reflect on the past year as we fast approach Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. We blow the shofar every day, remember those we have lost and undertake heshbon hanefesh— Hebrew for “an accounting of the soul.” Torn between welcoming and resenting this invitation for introspection, we look to Lilith writers past and present to help us enter Elul. We`ll be sharing our favorite Elul piece all this month.
Shabbat shalom.

Back to school season is upon us and we are revisiting Abby Fisher’s (@abby.dmf) “Yeshivas, Day Schools, and LGBT Kids” from Lilith’s Fall 2021 issue.
Fisher, an alumna of two Jewish day schools themselves, interviewed 16 students and found a fairly clear narrative: “a new openness from schools, though welcome, is often undermined by bullying, insensitivity, from teachers, and, in particular, the presentation of Jewish content that ignores and/or erases LGBTQ+ identity.”
