Poetic Obituaries: Esther Broner, who died on June 21,

aged 83, was the inventor of the original women's Seder (now proliferating throughout the United States and Israel); co-author with Naomi Nimrod of "The Women's Haggadah" (published in Ms. magazine in 1977 and later in Esther's book, "The Telling"); creator of enduring Jewish feminist rituals; published poet, novelist, pamphleteer, autobiographer; literature professor; political organizer, activist and all-around holy troublemaker. But Esther was, above all, a weaver of women.
