ELIZABETH EDELGLASS: Frankly Feminist‍

The first-ever anthology from Lilith magazine, Frankly Feminist is a unique amalgam of fine writing and activism that comes right out of Jewish women’s lives today: transgressive loves, deepening connections, political turmoil, abortion, fear of loss, struggles with fertility, with body and soul, with finding community, and with decoding family life. Elizabeth Edelglass will lead us in a discussion of her story in the book along with several other stories. ‍

Unless otherwise noted, all services, classes and events are in person at B’nai Jacob, located at 75 Rimmon Road, Woodbridge.
