New, gorgeous fiction from @sara.lipp in our Spring 2024 issue:
"We just want peace, I say.
There will be no peace while our neighbors want us dead.
You don’t have to stoke it, my husband says.
The land of milk and honey, he snorts. What a balagan. Why do you think there are more of us living outside than inside? Who’s rushing home to a mess like this?
Where will you go?"

A new investigation by Hella Winston on behalf of Lilith: Toxic Jewish Nonprofit Spaces. A MUST read.
"PICTURE THIS: a 25-year-old nonbinary Jewish feminist, let’s call them Sam, gets their first job at a Jewish non-profit. The organization has a lofty mission and a stated commitment to diversity and inclusion. Sam is thrilled to work somewhere that affirms Jewish values, and is filled with passion and ideas.
It feels like a dream job, even if the hours seem long and duties less than well-defined. A year later, Sam is gone, feeling a mix of frustration, anger and sadness, disillusioned by the workplace culture. Now, Sam is not only questioning whether to work in a Jewish space again, but feels reluctant to participate further in organized Jewish life.
Some may be tempted dismiss this case as an outlier, but Lilith has learned that it is far from uncommon, or even limited to workers at the start of their careers."
