From Hadassah:
Executive Editor Lisa Hostein hosts a discussion with three women shining a light on the Sephardic & Mizrahi experience in the United States. Syrian Jewish writer Esther Chehebar, author of the best-selling novel Sisters of Fortune & a co-host of the new podcast GOLDA Girls; Sarah Levin, executive director of JIMENA, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that advocates for Jews from the Middle East and North Africa, who has Turkish Jewish roots; and Rozeeta Mavashev, North America executive director of Masa Israel, who is of Bukharian Jewish descent, will share their perspectives as well as stories of how their experiences have evolved in an America—now celebrating its 250th birthday—where Sephardic Jews were the first to settle but where Ashkenazi Jews have long comprised the overwhelming majority of the Jewish population.#Mazeldon #Jewish #Judaism #Sephardi #Mizrahi #JewishHistory #MENA #JewishWomen

"The story of Sarah and Hagar is often told as a tale of rivalry and cruelty—but a closer look reveals a far richer story, hinting at a complex, powerful, and spiritually resonant relationship between two extraordinary women.
In this workshop, we’ll explore the story through text study, discussion, and writing prompts, uncovering new possibilities for understanding female relationships, motherhood, and feminine archetypes. Together, we’ll re-examine these matriarchs to discover strength, wisdom, and inspiration for our own lives."Link: https://ritualwell.org/event/sarah-and-hagar-uncovering-feminine-strength-and-wisdom/2026-03-24/

Josephine Sarah "Sadie" Earp (née Marcus; 1861 – 1944)
She was the wife of Wyatt Earp the famed Old West lawman. She met Wyatt in 1881 in the frontier town of Tombstone, Arizona, when she was living with Johnny Behan, sheriff of Cochise County, Arizona. She left Behan, who was nearly twice her age, in 1881, before the gunfight at the O.K. Corral. She returned to San Francisco in March 1882 and was joined that fall by Wyatt, with whom she remained for 46 years until his death in 1929. Josephine Earp had his body cremated and buried him in the Marcus family plot in a Jewish cemetery
Josephine Marcus was born in New York to a Jewish family. They moved to San Francisco, where she attended dance school as a girl. She ran away as a young teen traveling to Arizona looking for adventure. Sadie kept this period of her life a secret but there js evidence that she may have been forced to work as a prostitute under the name Sadie Mansfield. She described this period as 'A bad dream'.
The book I Married Wyatt Earp (1967), is based on a manuscript allegedly written in part by her.

From Lilith:
Each month, Jewish tradition gives us the opportunity to pause, reflect, and set intentions through the celebration of Rosh Chodesh, which marks the arrival of the New Moon.This week, we welcome the Hebrew month of Iyar alongside the secular month of May. As this new month begins, we feel ourselves beginning to thaw—emerging from a winter of discouraging, fear-inducing news headlines and turning once again toward community, care, and connection.
Lilith invites you to seek renewal with us this weekend—in the moon, in each other, and in the pages of independent Jewish feminist journalism.

It’s a Christian Saint’s Day. It worships commercialization. And it definitely objectifies women. It’s time to say dayenu to embracing the golden calf of heart-shaped chocolate boxes filled with mediocre heart-shaped chocolate and instead find new ways to spend Valentine’s Day. Here are some alternatives.

"In our culture that conflates value and ability, it is easy to find yourself somewhere along the post-viral spectrum. It is easy to push, or be pushed, or (more likely) some combination of the two, into ignoring your body, assigning some valence of alternate logic to your racing heart, low cortisol, persistent fatigue, or evergreen throat pain.

“I just need to find more balance,” you tell yourself while driving to a full time job, putting your makeup on at red lights, the week’s readings playing through your bluetooth on 1.5x speed. “I just need to figure out which supplements to take,”
you quip to the acupuncturist, your PCP, dietician, therapist, checkout person at Perelandra Natural Foods. “I just need to rest,” you say only to yourself, hoping that someone might write you a permission slip."

Shlain and Goldberg have spent the past few years tracing history through the rings of massive, reclaimed tree rings. As the Jewish festival of the trees Tu BiShvat approaches, they reflected on other histories trees could have witnessed, etching the historical and contemporary questions that have catalyzed the quest for knowledge into the tree rings.
Their pieces are exhibited in Getty’s PST Art & Science Collide exhibition at the Skirball Cultural Center: Ancient Wisdom for a Future Ecology: Trees, Time & Technology which has special events on Feb 2. Their art will also be featured during Frieze Art Fair.

A New Set of Rituals for Abortion and Pregnancy Loss
Naima Hirsch Gelman
February 1, 2024Read the article: https://lilith.org/2024/02/a-new-set-of-rituals-for-abortion-and-pregnancy-loss/
"There is a modern legend that in the early days of women’s ordination as rabbis, a rabbinical school professor stood up and said: “Judaism has a bracha for every single human experience we undergo.” The women in the room—knowing the incredulity of that statement—laughed. Because while it’s true that while Judaism has blessings for after using the bathroom or for hearing thunder, we don’t have that kind of ritual content for the myriad of experiences specific to women..."

The Bilhah Zilpah Project: Twenty-Four Lines of Torah
November 11, 2024
erica riddickhttps://evolve.reconstructingjudaism.org/the-bilhah-zilpah-project-twenty-four-lines-of-torah/
"As the Bilhah Zilpah Project foundational text study was developing, the Creative Midrash session formed as a way to invite voice to the voiceless. Participants imagined writing letters to and from Bilhah and Zilpah to a range of characters, including us today. This helped them to see the humanity of these women, who made a way out of no way, like so many of us do and have done throughout history. These moments of reflection highlight the universal power of motherhood beyond biology. They offer an opportunity to connect what we know from our experiences today to infer what might have also resonated with Bilhah and Zilpah, drawing us toward them and translating wisdom relevant and meaningful in our modern lives."
