Welcome to Kerem

Kerem has been publishing on an occasional basis since 1992 with a focus on Jewish spiritual issues. Contents include reflections, text study, divrei Torah, midrash, liturgy, essays, poetry, short stories, interviews, photography, and more.  Kerem welcomes submissions of previously unpublished material from both new and established writers.  As always, we remain fiercely independent, egalitarian, and inter-denominational.

Kerem is:

  • A high caliber publication combining a serious engagement with Jewish tradition and the best of modern Jewish renewal…
  • A place for exchanging new prayers, new translations, midrash, divrei Torah, new ceremonies and lifecycle rituals, new interpretations of traditional texts, reflections on Jewish life and identity in our time…
  • A place to turn to for materials that reflect the values of egalitarianism, tolerance, and pluralism, and that build these values into religious language and rituals…

We welcome new writers and readers! For more on what we’re looking for, see Guidelines for Writers.
