In this episode, we sit down with Anastasia Bat Lilith to explore the intersections of Jewish anarchism, spirituality, and organizing. From the roots and lineages that shaped her text Teshuva to the ways Jewish ritual, decolonial thought, and anarchist praxis inform her daily life, Anastasia offers a deep and vulnerable conversation on building liberatory community.
Together we dig into themes of teshuva as both practice and zine, the dangers of “unity” rhetoric, the struggle against hierarchy and piety, and how dysphoric and decolonial anarchist lineages guide organizing beyond settler secularism. We also journey through the history of the Jewish Zine Fest—its origins, intentions, and role as ritual space—while grounding in questions of family, antizionist study, and collective transformation.
This episode is a call to rethink what grounds us, what questions we hold, and what it means to organize spiritually, politically, and communally in the face of empire.
