    Spiritual Activism with Rae Abileah, Susala Kay and Cat Zavis

    This Monday  on Women’s Magazine Lisa Dettmer  looks at how spiritual activism can help us deal with  being  surrounded by  so much violence, war,  militarism and machismo.   I wanted to know how as activists we can practice a spiritual activism in these very hard times and I wanted  to learn  why practicing spiritual activism is important  for the health and success of our movements.  To do that I invited  three Jewish feminist spiritual activists who I feel have a lot of wisdom to share and who can help us figure out  how we can live in integrity and without burn out in these times when there is so little to rejoice about and when  we are surrounded by people in power who have so little integrity.  I will be joined by: Susala Kay who is a ritualist, facilitator of sacred space, and instigator of eco-feminist beloved community striving towards ending all types of oppression. She lives with disabilities and cares deeply about radical access, power differentials, and liberation. As a JeWitch, and a priestess in the Reclaiming tradition, she has been involved in blending Pagan and eco-feminist Jewish community together since the mid-1990s. She is a co-founder and steward of JeWitch Collective and JeWitch Camp.  She co-facilitates monthly in-person Anti-zionist covid-cautious disability justice infused shabbat services for Beyt Tikkun Synagogue in Oakland. She is also involved with Richmond Area Mutual Aid and Singing Resistance East Bay. Rabbi Cat Zavis who is the Rabbi of Beyt Tikkun Synagogue in Oakland, California, and is a member of Rabbis for Ceasefire and the Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity. Rae Abileah who is a member of Rabbis for Ceasefire, an advisory board member of the Center for Jewish Nonviolence, and is an organizer with ALAS, Ayudando Latinos a Soñar in Half Moon Bay, California.

We also talk to Asma Adbi, an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Exeter, whose research focuses on social reproduction, gender, and the political economy of war and sanctions, with a focus mostly on Iran. And we have joining us Manijeh Moradian, who is assistant professor of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Barnard College. She is a founding member of the Raha Iranian Feminist Collective and a member of Feminists for Jina, a global network which formed in fall 2022 to support the women, life, freedom uprising in Iran.
