In Lilith`s Spring 2009 Issue, German journalist and filmmaker Ingrid Strobl uncovers the personal narratives of women who won quiet, small-scale victories against the viciousness of Nazis and their collaborators. Though their work has often been left out of official histories of the era, these were women who took their own instincts and impulses seriously, and acted on them.

In this creative writing workshop with Lilith magazine, join writer and theologian Rabbi @juliawattsbelser to explore how disability wisdom can help us tap into the subversive spiritual power of Shabbat—and disentangle our worth from our work. Drawing on her article in the latest issue of Lilith, Julia will share creative prompts to spark our imagination and invite us to craft our own micro practices for finding rest and respite in these days. All are welcome.
When: Friday, May 17, 12-1 pm Eastern
Where: Zoom!
