From Svivah:
When we show our memories and invite the reader right into our experience — that’s how our stories become shared.
And that’s the reason we wanted to read When We See You Again together — Rachel Goldberg-Polin’s memoir about the aftermath of her son Hersh’s abduction and death following October 7th. There is such power in sharing our stories, just like there is such power in witnessing someone else’s well-told memories.
Next week, on Thursday, June 4, from 8:00–9:15 pm ET, come be with us to witness and reflect on Rachel’s story together: https://www.svivah.org/gatherings/bookclub-rgp
Angry? Outraged? Anxious? Grieving? Us too. With everything happening in the world, we need a space to pause and pour it all out on the page.
On Friday, March 20, 12 pm ET | 11 am CT | 9 am PT, join us as a Jewish feminist community for a writers' hour facilitated by poet, novelist, & children's book author Lesléa Newman. Take an hour to fill up your cup so you can go back out into the world.

All Jewish feminists welcome; expect kindness and curiosity.
In rage and joy, The Lilith Staff
#Audiblehas several #SaulBellow novels that are free (if you subscribe). I haven't read anything of his except high school or college freshman. He and #PhilipRoth were discussed and recommended in passing.
My friend Faith Jones is giving a talk on the writer Shira Gorshman today, online, 5pmPST: "Gorshman’s stories follow the trajectory of 20th-century Jewish life in Eastern Europe: from the Lithuanian shtetl to the Russian Revolution, through the kibbutz and collective farms, to Central Asia during wartime and back to mid-century Soviet life."

“For each of us, Jewish identity is not a weapon to wield in a fight for statist power but a fount of generational wisdom that says justice, justice, you shall pursue.”

We reject antisemitism in all its forms, including when it masquerades as criticism of Zionism or Israel’s policies. We also recognize that, as journalist Peter Beinart wrote in 2019, “Anti-Zionism is not inherently antisemitic—and claiming it is uses Jewish suffering to erase Palestinian experience.”
More and more of our authors are showing up here on Mastodon: today, welcome Rivqa Rafael at @rivqa!
She has stories in *counts on fingers* at least two of our anthologies, including #OtherCovenants: Alternate Histories of the Jewish People, which is about to launch:
