Independent, Jewish & frankly feminist since 1976, Lilith’s mission is to be the feminist change-agent in and for the Jewish community, amplifying feminist voices, creating an inclusive and positive Judaism, spurring gender consciousness in the Jewish world, and empowering women, girls and trans and nonbinary people of every background to share their stories to envision and enact transformational change––in their own lives and the larger community.
