Me’ugelet is a new online publication of Jewish art, ritual, and creative writing about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
From the Hebrew word meaning both “she is round” and “she is encircled,” Me’ugelet amplifies the awe and the amazement, the distress and the despair, the holy and the human of our divinely unique and forever connected journeys in Creation.
The first e-magazine issue of Me’ugelet will be published in Elul 5786 / August 2026.
Jewish artists, writers, musicians, and ritualists are invited to submit original creative works related to pregnancy, birth, and/or postpartum.
