The Marriage Train
admin
The impetus for this post is the recent deluge of marriages I’ve noticed among Jews under the age of 23. My confusion is mostly based on the fact that the folks who are making the mad dash for the chuppah aren’t Orthodox or even Modern Orthodox, where the expectation of marrying and starting a family young is seen as an immediate priority.

A Voyeur's Garb

I admit it–I’m an Orthodox voyeur (fetishist, you might call it). As in, I am guilty of a certain degree of exoticization of the Orthodox community. For a while, I… Read more »
Reconceiving Jews

This Mother’s Day feels even more dissonant than usual. There’s a nightmarish distance between the treacly sentiments in ads for flowers and brunch menus and the awful reality for mothers in Gaza unable to ensure their children`s safety or for mothers in Israel like Rachel Goldberg-Polin, whose son Hersh is still held captive in Gaza. We say it every year––but especially this year: mothers don’t want a card or teddy bear, or breakfast in bed. Mothers want to keep their children safe and fed. Mothers want autonomy over their bodies and affordable, accessible health care.

This Yom Hashoah, read the experience of a Jewish teen in Vilna in her own words.
In early 2017, almost 180,000 pages of lost Yiddish documents were discovered, mothballed and hidden in a Lithuanian church. Poignantly, these were pieces from a @yivoinstitute writing contest for Jewish teens in Europe, written and submitted before the Nazi incursion started. These young people, documenting their lives, had no idea of what was to come.
In the summer of 2018, @krinsteincartoons traveled to Vilnius/Vilna to bring six anonymous pre-WWII teenage autobiographies to life— using their words and his pictures. Here’s a snapshot of one of them, a middle-school Vilna girl he dubbed “The Rule Breaker.”

Did you know that Jewish women were involved in all forms and formations of the resistance against the Nazis?
In Lilith`s Spring 2009 Issue, German journalist and filmmaker Ingrid Strobl uncovers the personal narratives of women who won quiet, small-scale victories against the viciousness of Nazis and their collaborators. Though their work has often been left out of official histories of the era, these were women who took their own instincts and impulses seriously, and acted on them.
