My Bubbe’s Lion of Judah pin is a reminder for me of my grandmother: a strong, feminist leader.

One day, I hope to walk into an egalitarian Jewish space with my tallit on my shoulders and my kippah on my head.

Judith Plaskow said, “I am not a Jew in the synagogue and a feminist in the world."

There aren't outside pressures from patriarchy in the all-girls camp bubble; but that doesn't mean that bigotry is eradicated.

I’ve learned the value of endurance in activism through my experience with Talmud learning.

There were no chairs in the women's section of my school's shul. 

This prayer shawl was the antithesis of everything I’d told myself I was supposed to be; it challenged tradition, caught attention, and took up space.

The 2019-2020 Rising Voices Fellows reflect on their time in the Fellowship and on their collaborative zine-making process.

Perfection is the goal and trying is the consequence.

As too many Jewish women find their allegations unheard and unaddressed, I am responsible to amplify those female voices.

In March, my RVF piece about Ray Frank went up on the blog; however, parts of this blog post trouble me.

To see everything as holy, to be amazed by the simple, beautiful things in the world, not only brings me happiness; it also inspires me to fight for justice.

With "Since Parkland," I tried to celebrate other kids' lives and acknowledge the failures that ended them.

Girls today are given an image of what an ideal body should look like on social media, and our introduction into womanhood and knowing our bodies is through the lens of fixing it.

America’s prisons, police forces, and courts seem beyond repair. Imagine how the world might look if God hadn't jumped to punish Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. 

When I brought up the idea of a protest, teachers and peers alike scoffed at first. I was living in Singapore, where protesting was illegal.

Matriarchal leadership is often portrayed negatively, like in the story of Lilith. My moms have proven to me that we need more of it.

In Austin, lack of housing is a huge, persistent issue. It's not only up to us to choose ethical leaders; we must act individually to fight injustice as well.
