Carol Hebald’s poem, “The Isolation Room,” which won Big River Poetry Review’s Poem of the Month Award last May, has been nominated by the publisher for this year’s Pushcart Prize.

Lilly Rivlin’s rallying cry throughout her filmmaking career has been “the personal is political.” That philosophy, she says, is ideally reflected in the person of Esther Broner, the co-author of “The Women’s Haggadah” and the co-organizer of the original Women’s Seder.

“Before, women cooked the meal and set the table. … In the beginning, that’s what women did. There was no other place for them,” Rivlin says in a phone interview from her home in New York City. “You never had a woman leading a Seder before this happened. Now many women do.”

Rivlin’s new documentary, “Esther Broner: A Weave of Women,” will be shown on Tuesday, Dec. 3, at Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, on the night Rivlin is presented with the eighth annual Miller Reel Jewish Woman Filmmaker Award.
