The month of Elul is a time of reflection as we approach Rosh Hashanah.

Beth Warshawsky Ricanati wrote for JBC on the restorative power of taking this space for intentional self-reflection and how it ties together with her year-round practice of baking challah. Read "Ritual and Respite: The Power of Elul" here. https://bit.ly/4chxp4o

“Never in my life have I identified myself as a Christian, but wherever there is antisemitism, I identify as a Jew.”
- Gloria Steinem

Today, we mourn the loss and honor the legacy of Gloria Steinem, the pioneering feminist who advocated tirelessly for women’s rights and social justice.

Steinem’s paternal Jewish heritage and her advocacy against antisemitism were intertwined with her broader feminist activism; her sense of herself as an outsider shaped her connection to Jewishness and she was drawn to the social justice values of Jewish feminism.

May her memory be for a blessing.

Read more about the intersection of Steinem’s feminist activism and her Jewish identity in the Forward and Jewish Women’s Archive.
