We've re-launched the Lilith Blog! Check out a new post every weekday from our excellent bloggers.
A call for submissions! Keep Your Wives Away From Them: An Anthology of Writings By and About Orthodykes is soliciting submissions through July 31, 2008. This anthology of professional scholarly essays and personal journalistic pieces will explore the complexities of LGBTQ Orthodox identity, and document the rich innovations in Jewish and queer life in the communities of Orthodox Jewish lesbian, bisexual and trans people that have developed in around the world over the past 25 years. For more information and for submission guidelines, email editor Miryam Kabakov at keepyourwives@gmail.com
Esta Salzman, star of the Yiddish stage, died on April 23 at the age of 94. One of the last big names of the Second Avenue era of Yiddish theater, Ms. Salzman had performed with the Barry Sisters, Molly Picon, and most of the headliners of the era. In our Winter 2006 issue, Lilith photographer Joan Roth beautifully captured Esta and other "Yiddish divas"--you can read, now, in memorial, here.
And now a word from...you! Read the wonderful responses readers have left to the Winter issue on our blog by clicking here, and leave your own thoughts!
In honor of Israel's 60th birthday, LA's Skirball Center will be presenting a number of special programs.

For more information, check out www.skirball.org.
