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.
Write With Us: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/zwpfgub
All Jewish feminists welcome; expect kindness and curiosity.
In rage and joy, The Lilith Staff

"The usual perception of #Soviet #Jewish #literature after #WorldWarII is that there was none. The conversation around the decades after the #Holocaust usually focuses on the #refuseniks and large waves of emigration away from a place with a history of suppressing its Jewish minority.
A new collection of #translated #shortstories by Soviet #Jewishwriters, originally published in the #USSR in #Russian and — mind-blowingly — in #Yiddish, challenges that view. For someone who grew up in #Ukraine and #Russia not knowing much about my roots because my #Jewish grandfather remained silent on the subject of anything Jewish, I read “In the Shadow of the Holocaust” with a thirst I didn’t know I had.
In these 10 #stories by seven authors, Jewish survivors are dealing directly with the ruins of a world that is no more. Unlike their #American counterparts, however, they continue making a life in the proximity of the tragedy, among cemeteries and unmarked ravines."

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.”
