How Much Can a Heart Break in One Year?

As we approach graduation season and prepare to say goodbye to our wonderful class of interns, we have milestones on our minds, both bitter and sweet ones. We have also been contemplating how Jewish tradition and ritual–or feminist twists on tradition and ritual–can guide and ground us during moments of change, struggle, and triumph.
Milestones mark our growth and progress through time. From classic milestones that tend to happen in spring and summer, like graduations and weddings, to more personal changes, tragedies and triumphs, like moving and surgery, Jewish feminists have turned to Lilith to shared their rituals and reflections. The pages of our magazine have become a place where we mark our personal and communal resilience.
