Three books arriving together — a gathering of women's voices, moral inquiry, and sacred ritual. We are dropping them this week, and celebrating with a circle of women who have been part of this work.

Scapegoat: Holding Fear Without Sacrifice

A Jewish work of moral inquiry and ritual imagination. Sherman examines how fear becomes projection, and how communities survive by expelling what they cannot hold within themselves. Rigorous, urgent, and alive.

Community Access

A Modest Discretionary Fund

A small, modest discretionary fund is available to help temple groups and small communities get started with this work. It is not much — but it is encouragement. Cost should not be the reason a community cannot begin.

This fund will continue while resources are available. If your community is ready to begin and needs a hand, reach out.

The Gathering

A Circle of Women

These three books are arriving together, and we are marking the moment. A circle of women — some who have been part of this work from the beginning, some who are new to it — will gather to celebrate. There will be reading aloud, there will be voices, there will be the particular joy of books finally in hand.

Audio and photographs from the gathering will appear here soon.
