Violence, Loss and Healing—Emily Barth Isler’s “Aftermath”
Yona Zeldis McDonough
I love showing a roadmap to forgiveness in the book. In a story that shares more than enough examples of how life can be horribly unfair and sad, I want kids to see examples of how things can go well or be done helpfully. How things can go right.

Rachel Berger

What Magic Is Ours?
Emily Barth
You can’t make a voodoo doll, I repeat. It isn’t our magic to use. I think of the magic that should be ours to use, instead. The faith we should have in our mezuzot and our medicine. A magic based on belief in the good.

Yona Zeldis McDonough

Embodying Eve
Rabbi Adina Allen
This origin story of Adam & Eve has been used to punish, to instill regret, to sever us from one another. What if it’s also our salvation?
What Would it Look Like to Create Safe, Inclusive Spaces for Jews of Color?
Jennifer Turner
We need faith-based spaces where the participants are not seen as the ‘other.’ Spaces where we are not told ‘you don’t look Jewish’ or asked, ‘no, where are you really from?’

"Deftly she scraped the silver scales and forced
one fish into the other; the soft feet
of the calf she boiled into jelly; she stuffed rice
into the plump hen and bound
its wings and legs; she poured hot fat
over the leg of the lamb. Spices
sizzled and baked as she stirred
the bones bubbling in the pot.
They sat round the silver, the red wine glasses,
and read the story of their deliverance."
