"For normal girls, 14th birthdays are special. You spend it with your friends, going to movies or arcades. But Orli’s friends were scared. They didn’t want to see her. I had no choice but to see her.
To be honest I didn’t mind. I loved her a lot, and if you love someone as much as I loved Orli then you could never be scared."
Less than a year after losing her sister, Orli, Hana Wildman Halpern reflects on the last months of her sister`s life. Read it here: Photo by Abby Greenawalt.

“`Polyamory has actually made me more Jewish,` notes a polyamorous psychotherapist who regularly hosts Shabbat with her partners. `My main way of connecting to Judaism is through ritual. It’s part of my life and important that partners join me in that.`"

"Why are you silent?"
Tens of thousands of people are asking UN Women this critical question. The United Nations’ organization that allegedly fights to end sexual violence has still refused to condemn Hamas’ horrific sexual crimes on Oct. 7 or recognize that they even happened.
This silence prompted a group of Israeli women, including some with family members currently being held captive, to launch #MeToo_UNless_UR_a_Jew. The campaign’s goal is to gather one million signatures demanding that UN Women release a statement condemning Hamas’ human rights violations, and the terrorists’ sexual assaults against Israeli women and girls.
