Amy Stone
Even with the need to be heard in these confrontational times, we accept the idea that we will watch a film in silence. We give the film space to enfold us and carry us to its conclusion. Can this unwritten agreement be extended into the light of day to give all of us the space to speak… and to be heard?

What fruit is very helpful in training abortion providers?
The papaya! It is a realistic model for the uterus. It resembles it during early pregnancy in size, shape and consistency, and so it’s often used as a tool in medical training for MVAs (manual vacuum aspiration, which is one type of early abortion.) #ReproShabbat

In honor of ReproShabbat we are revisiting some of Lilith`s groundbreaking reproductive healthcare stories from the archives--read Sally Schloss` 2022 personal essay at the 🔗 in our bio.
What would the Jewish world look like if we had language to say to a woman who miscarried like we do in a shiva house?
Ritual and liturgy play such an important role in the sacred and mundane of Jewish life, and yet we don’t have consistent liturgy for experiences that half of the population undergo. If rituals give us context to mark transitions and liturgy gives us the language to describe them, there is a whole set of transitions and experiences historically ignored within Jewish tradition.

For Lilith, Justine Orlovsky-Schnitzler talked to former members Judith Arcana and Sheila Avruch about the history of the Janes, Jewishness in abortion justice, and how to take power into your own hands.
