Lilith Salons
In 2005, Lilith ran an article on "The Power of Jewish Women's Conversations," which brought to light the tremendous influence and pleasure of
Jewish women's salons in Europe, an idea that quickly captured us all. Now Lilith salons are meeting everywhere.
With participants ranging in age from teens to women in their 80s, the conversations are more free-flowing than a book group, less "spiritual" than a rosh hodesh group, not as democratic as the PTA, and more intimate than a lecture.
Here's information on how to find and join a local salon. Or start your own!

You can also read a testimonial from Julia Wolf-Mazow, organizer of an independent salon in Houston--just click here.
Please let us know when your salon has launched! Lilith can help provide trigger questions to get the conversation started, as well as help you schedule your salons most effectively.
Want more information? You can always contact the Lilith office, via email or by phone at (212) 757-0818.
If you're a member of a Reform congregation or interested in participating in a Lilith salon hosted by Women of Reform Judaism,
please contact Carolyn Kunin at ckunin@urj.org. There are over 90 Lilith/WRJ salons up and running across the U.S., Canada and South Africa, so make sure to find out if there's already a salon near you.
You can check our salons map--and make sure to tell us if we're missing your salon!
