As part of Hadassahs Defining Zionism in the 21st Century series, theres going to be a June 8 event called Feminism & Zionism: Exploring Recent Tensions, at the Town & Village Synagogue in New York. Participants include Emily Shire and Sharon Weiss-Greenberg, so the event promises to be thought-provoking and generally wonderful.

I cant imagine the Sisterhood readership needs much convincing on the importance of feminism or Zionism as topics for discussion. But for background on how the two topics intersect these days, check out Emily Shires Sisterhood piece and New York Times op-ed from March.

Phoebe Maltz Bovy edits the Sisterhood, and can be reached at bovy@forward.com. She is the author of The Perils Of Privilege, from St. Martins Press. Follow her on Twitter, @tweetertation
