(9) Sarah-Jane Landsman: How to lead a kibbutz in exile
This podcast is powered by LSJS. Visit lsjs.ac.uk for our full Jewish learning programme & find something that suits you. This week I’m delighted and humbled to have with me Sarah-Jane Landsman of Kibbutz Alumim. In 2022, when there was no-one else to step up, Sarah-Jane took on a second term as Mazkirah (Director) of the kibbutz. That was how, on October 7th, she found herself in a very pivotal role, a role that really no training can provide any preparation for, and since then she’s relocated the whole kibbutz and cared for the different needs of that displaced community. Sarah-Jane and I met in July when I was privileged to visit Kibbutz Alumim and hear her incredible story, which has really stayed with me over these difficult months. This is the story of the last 400 days.

(8) Dr. Rachel Levmore: Influencing the Rabbinic Courts
This podcast is powered by LSJS. Visit https://www.lsjs.ac.uk/ for our full Jewish learning programme & find something that suits you. Dr Rachel Levmore has spent decades bridging the world of Jewish Law, academia and social activism to help people from all walks of life negotiate the difficult process of Jewish divorce. That makes her one of my real mentors professionally and my inspiration for the work that I’ve done in Get refusal. She’s a veteran who has dedicated her life to this issue. Rachel is a Rabbinical Court Advocate, and the director of the Aguna Prevention Project. She lives in Efrat and has a PHD in Talmud and Jewish Law from Bar Ilan University. For more information on these topics, listen to our episode with Keshet Starr on Get refusal, our episode with Shoshanna Keats-Jaskoll on social activism, and read Rachel’s article, [article title]. If you’re a woman who wants to improve her own halachic knowledge, you can join our Iyun Women’s Halacha Programme. To read Rachel Levmore's article, "Agunot, Follow These Instructions," click here.

(7) Shoshanna Keats-Jaskoll: Warrior with a Pen
This podcast is powered by LSJS. Visit https://www.lsjs.ac.uk/ for our full Jewish learning programme & find something that suits you. Shoshana Keats-Jaskoll is a warrior with a pen and she fights, she really fights, for a better Judaism. Raised in Lakewood, she moved to Israel with her family, where she witnessed the damaging effects of extremism on the community. She co-founded Chochmat Nashim, which enables her to write, speak, and campaign to change policy and communal behaviour to create a healthier, more balanced society, highlighting where things go wrong and working on change on the ground. We’ve worked together on Get refusal, systemic change and teaching, so I know what a fearless advocate Shoshana is and I totally admire her fierce intellect and unique methods, tackling issues head-on from within the system which I think is what makes her so powerful. We discuss regulating Batei Din (ratemybeitdin.com) the unique perspective of coming from a non-observant home, the problem of outsourcing knowledge in the Jewish community and practical tips for social activism.

(6) Dr. Yardaena Osband: Creating a Leadership Pipeline
We’re meeting Dr Yardaena Osband in this episode, who’s quite challenging to introduce because she wears so many hats! She’s a founding member of the Orthodox Leadership Project, which empowers Orthodox Jewish women’s leadership as a way of strengthening Jewish communities through professional development, education and partnerships. She’s also a paediatrician, teacher, co-host of the Daf Yomi podcast Talking Talmud, and board member of ORA and the Eden Center. With so much to choose from, we spoke about women’s leadership in the Orthodox world, touching on the education of our girls and whether that helps us to grow female leaders, and the issue of recognition, and whether or not women need a professional title.
