Schnur has written for many publications, and formerly wrote a weekly column for the New York Times.[4][5][6] She has served as editor of Lilith since 1995.[7] She has described herself as a "recovering rabbi" for whom Lilith is a "paper pulpit" from which she preaches
Jewish feminism.[8] Through Lilith, she has said, she and her co-editors "helped to transform Judaism into something beautiful and plausible for thousands of Jewish women."[8]
Schnur has been widely noted for her writings on
forgiveness, which show how gender matters in discussions of forgiveness[9][10] and which breaks down rigid distinctions between forgiving and not forgiving.[11][12]Geoffrey Claussen identifies Schnur as a contributor to modern
musar literature.[10]
