The “canceling” of Chaim Walder, why it is necessary, and what happens next. Are we looking at a sea change in how the Orthodox community handles allegations of sexual abuse?
The more things stay the same, the more they change. Here’s Shoshanna and Anne, on agunot and how to make get-refusal a thing of the past. From the Last Jew in Afghanistan to #FreeChava to the taboos we can create around our Shabbat tables.
– In which we discuss the Olympic gold medalist who can’t marry in Israel and the Bnei Menashe who did.
– And in which we talk with Yael Braun, the only female Rabbinic court advocate (that we know of) in the US, and possibly in the Diaspora.
– In which we discuss a shul’s hiring of a woman as their rabbi.
– In which we talk about a firestorm in the UK over abuse.
– In which we consider the many ways women may feel unwelcome in shul, and several ways to change that.
– And in which we DISH on 2 activities worth some of your summertime.
