I was hesitant to pick up In Love as a newlywed. I am superstitious enough to worry about inviting misfortune by way of acknowledging it. But when I stood under the chuppah last November and married my husband, I remember thinking about death.
Calling all free-spirited April babies! Find out what’s in store for Nisan.
Personally, I argue that every person born in the Soviet Union belongs to this generation of the wilderness. We were born in a sort of bondage, after all.
” I created a composite character who’d have to face similar challenges as my mother and then I watched her—Rifka Berg—grow and respond. I gave Rifka my mother’s heart and soul.”
Contrary to the pressure we often put on ourselves to achieve perfection in what we prepare and serve… it helps to keep in mind that Passover is not meant to be a performance.
Thank you, my dear Great Great Grandmother Mary Lumpkin. You are Miriam for us, dancing with the timbrel, I hear you from the freedom side of the sea.
By recreating my trauma onscreen, I understood Passover in a new way.
I am a sex-positive feminist and a sex-neutral asexual and a Modern Orthodox woman all at once. I am a sexually liberated woman.
Parents break sometimes, and we put ourselves back together. But if we never see any stories of other people doing it, it makes us feel like monsters.

Happy Monday from Lilith! Enjoy Nancy Graves` work "5745," silkscreen printed in colors.

"5745, the Hebrew date for 1984, evokes a celebration of creation and life. Among the visual motifs included in this print are a 2nd Century Roman terra cotta votive offering of a woman’s head crowned with a wreath (upper left) and a fragment of a 4th-5th Century Byzantine mosaic of a dove (lower right)."

April is National Poetry Month and we are celebrating by reading Jewish feminist poetry. This week we are rereading Jennifer Anne Moses` first collection of poetry "Domesticity". In a conversation with Lilith Fiction Editor Yona Zeldis McDonough, Moses discusses her poetry`s connection to death, aging, nature, sex, abuse, Judaism, and family.

Discover the gorgeous art of Lili Ország, who drew inspiration from Jewish gravestones in Prague.
As @nwaldnerauthor writes for Lilith, Ország was raised in a prosperous Jewish family in Ungvár (present day Uzhhorod, Ukraine). At the age of fifteen, her entire life was upended by the Nazi occupation of March 1944.
Her family were forced into the ghetto in the Moskovitz brick factory, and in May they were herded onto the cattle cars bound for Auschwitz. Ország only narrowly avoided the death camp when her family were allowed off the train due to her father’s impeccable WWI service record.
The family obtained false papers, converted to Christianity, and for a time Lili Ország became Éva, a Catholic refugee from Transylvania. She survived the rest of the war in Budapest, eventually enrolling in art school.
This was just the beginning of a prolific artistic career that spanned over 20 years.
