Clare Kinberg’s editing of the Jewish feminist journal Bridges put authors from across the spectrum of the Jewish, feminist, and activist communities in conversation with each other. Kinberg founded Bridges in 1989 with several other members of the New Jewish Agenda, aiming to turn the group’s newsletter into a journal as a way to support coalition efforts between different progressive groups. As managing editor, Kinberg selected essays that seemed to speak to each other or offer contrasting views of the same issues, covering topics from health care to LGBTQ rights to the experiences of Jewish women of color. The journal published its final issue in 2011, with essays by scholar Susannah Heschel and poet Alicia Ostriker, among others. Kinberg has also served as a founding member of Brit Tzedek v'Shalom: Jewish Alliance for Justice and Peace (now merged with J Street) and has written several articles on organizing for Israeli/Palestinian peace and Jewish feminism. Since 2012 she has been the librarian at Temple Beth Emeth in Ann Arbor, MI. In 2015, Kinberg joined the Ann Arbor Reconstructionist Congregation as Beit Sefer Director, stepping down in 2022 to focus more on her work as the editor of the Washtenaw Jewish News, a position she held starting in December 2018.
