Nothing New Under The Sun:It's a Nobel Kinda Day
admin
The dust is starting to settle after the annual flurry surrounding the awarding of Nobel Prizes. From the Medicine award for IVF (we’ve written about that!), to noting the blatant absence of women among the winners, this year gave us lots to think about. The literature prize, especially, put us in mind to re-visit Evelyn Torton Beck’s sharp-as-a-tack 1979 review of I. B. Singer’s Misogyny.

I’d like to pretend that I “always felt Jewish” or that discovering Judaism felt like coming home. But no such luck.
The Spin Cycle:Happy National Coming Out Day…?
Sonia Isard

As much as DADT is on the radar, as often as gay marriage reaches the senate floor, the transition to high-tech media increasingly brings personal (not policy) stories to the very public fore.

Whoa! What a buzz is in the air already this election season! When Planned Parenthood’s reaction to the New York State primaries fell into our hands, it reminded us of a few articles from Lilith’s long history of rigorous reporting on the state of pro-choice politics. For just one example, have a look at editor in chief Susan Weidman Schneider’s 1990 piece, “The Anti-Choice Movement: Bad News for Jews.”

Nothing New Under the Sun: Chelsea Converts Lately?

Chelsea Clinton’s looming nuptial festivities have the gossip blogs in a tizzy: what’ll she wear to walk down the aisle? Can mixed-faith marriages work? Who’ll she invite to the ceremony?

After the revolution, who`s going to pick up the garbage?
Join Lilith magazine for a screening of "Maintenance Artist," the first feature-length documentary about groundbreaking artist Mierle Laderman Ukeles, at IFC Center. Ukeles has been a revolutionary force in contemporary art since the 1960s, becoming the NYC Sanitation Department’s first artist-in-residence in 1977, and achieving global artistic celebrity. Born in Denver to an Orthodox rabbi, most of Ukeles’ work presents as secular, but it’s driven by a radically humanist and feminist understanding of Orthodoxy.
Stay tuned afterward for a talkback with Emmy-nominated filmmaker Toby Perl Freilich and Pamela Grossman, who profiled Ukeles in the latest issue of Lilith.
When: Sunday, April 26, 3:15 pm
Where: IFC Center, 323 6th Ave, New York, NY 10014
