Lilith Salon

Exciting News for Women of BK!You may have noticed that the LILITH SALON scheduled for February 27th at 7:00PM, will be held at BK, and not at someone's home. That's because we are anticipating a larger crowd than usual. We are both privileged and delighted to announce that the editor of LILITH, Susan Weidman Schneider, will be joining us for this special salon.
The article to be discussed will be "REVISING OUR IDEAS ABOUT COLLECTIVE INSPIRATION"
We'll be exploring such issues as how women learn, how we create and how we each define success, as well as whether women are sometimes not recognized as we should be.
Please RSVP to let us know if you will be attending, so we can plan accordingly. A nosh will be served. The salon is, of course, free. As always, we encourage our members to support LILITH by becoming a subscriber.
If you've never read LILITH or attended a salon, please come and give it a try. We think you'll enjoy the stimulating discussions on relevant topics with a wonderful and diverse group of women. We look forward to seeing our "regulars", our occasional attendees, and our newcomers.
Shalom,
The LILITH SALON COMMITTEE

REVISING OUR IDEAS ABOUT COLLECTIVE INSPIRATION” by Esther Sperber
“FOOD FOR THOUGHT” QUESTIONS
The featured article will be “ REVISING OUR IDEAS ABOUT COLLECTIVE INSPIRATION” by Esther Sperber. It is in the fall issue of LILITH magazine, whose theme is “Gender and Genius.”
The “food for thought” questions will hopefully take us beyond the case of renowned architect Denise Scott Brown, to a broader focus on creativity and success.
1. In your own experience, how much of the creative process is individual? How much is collaborative?
2. Have you ever been in a situation where a male took some or all of the credit for your work?
3. Do you think that women work in a more collaborative style? If so, are there advantages or disadvantages to this style or for a more individualistic approach?
4. Historically, Jews learned by debating (think Talmud) and praying in a quorum. We share knowledge in our discussions (think seder, Torah study) and even informally in our schmoozing. Do you think Jewish culture has influenced how you think, learn, and share with others?
5. What do you think of when you hear the word “success?” How important is fame? fortune? recognition? How much should we “lean-in” to be successful? Are we successful without a career? Is success related to our character or our values?
Sorry, Registration has ended.
