What are the challenges families, and women in particular, face in meeting those ideals? How does family life affect our religious life and, conversely, how do issues of family size and economic realities impact Orthodox family life? How does a community effectively address infertility within its ranks? This forum will address the delicate balancing act faced by families, as well as offer models for communal and family support that can help families of all types thrive in our communities.

Salzberg, Alieza
"Creating our own Aggadot: A Creative Writing Workshop," Salzberg, Alieza. JOFA 6th International Conference. 2007.
Synopsis: Stories have long held an important role in Jewish tradition. Even beyond the narratives of the Bible, the Talmud is studded with stories (aggadot) that teach how real people have implemented, molded and struggled with halakha. As feminists in an Orthodox world, halakha and our personal sensibilities often seem to clash. This session will explore how we can reconcile that clash through writing our own stories to deal with the times when our emotional life collides with a community norm, expectation or halakha.
