Union for Reform Judaism
2024 Covenant Book Submission Form
As part of the Rabbi Marla J. Feldman Social Justice Fund, we are proud to begin accepting submissions to our Covenant of Justice: Prayers, Poems, and Meditations from Women of Reform Judaism, co-published with CCAR Press!
Until Wednesday, May 1, 2024,
the Covenant Book Editorial Committee will accept prayers, poems, songs, meditations, and other types of writings for consideration. Submitters must identify as women, nonbinary, or genderfluid, and resonate with the mission of Women of Reform Judaism.
The following themes offer a framework for submissions to the covenant book with an emphasis on the intersections of Jewish tradition, identity, and social justice:
tikkun olam
(repairing the world), solidarity and allyship, identity and intersectionality, challenging antisemitism, equity, LGBTQ+ inclusion, racial justice and reproductive rights.
Guidelines for Submissions:
1. Individuals may submit up to four (4) pieces, which should be included in one form
2. The maximum length for prose pieces is 250 words, or a maximum of 30 lines for verse pieces.
3. Submissions will not be considered without completion of this form by May 1, 2024
4. Pieces should adhere to the following
transliteration guide
5. Submitters must identify as women, nonbinary, or gender fluid
6. Pieces must be entirely your own work and not have been previously published
The final decision on inclusion will remain with the committee. All submissions will be reviewed without identifying the writer. You will be notified after July 1, 2024, if your writing has been chosen for publication. Unfortunately, not all writings will be accepted, but we hope to feature as many as we can. If your submission is accepted, you will be notified of any changes made, and required to sign a release form.
*The creation and publication of this book would not be possible without the generous support of WRJ Past Presidents Susan C. Bass, Lynn Magid Lazar, and Blair C. Marks.
