You Can’t Be What You Can’t See with Shifra Bronznick

Episode Summary

Shifra Bronznick has spent 60 years fighting for women. First as a suffragist, then feminist, and now a “deeply intersectional feminist” who aims to dismantle white supremacy in Jewish spaces. In conversation with Elana, Shifra discusses how to turn an initiative into a longstanding organization, why more women should become Rabbis, and how we are all responsible for ensuring there are structures in place to support the next generation.

Episode Notes
