Description
Karen sits down with Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll, a writer and activist committed to taking a clear-eyed look at where things are going wrong in the Jewish world in 2022 - and how we can fix them. Shoshanna discusses her work to advance the rights of Jewish women in the Orthodox community and shares some much-needed advice on how we can come together as a unified Jewish people (even when we disagree!). Whatever your place in the Jewish world, this is such an important conversation filled with so much wisdom about how to stop being a bystander and make change happen. You’ll find out: - Why we need to stop judging each other as Jews - The importance of differentiating between what people do and what God says - The dangers of increasing polarization in the Jewish world - How Shoshanna’s fighting against the erasure of women by Jewish extremists - Why being holy doesn’t mean being hidden - Why we always need to remember that rabbis are human beings too - The importance of being the bigger mensch - Why every Jews should feel empowered to own their own Judaism - The damage caused when people forget that Judaism is all about the middle ground - Why the worst thing in the world is a bystander - Shoshanna’s strategy for talking about Israel LINKS: How to Stand Up to Antisemitism https://yourjewishlife.co/stop Shoshanna’s Website https://www.skjaskoll.com/ Shoshanna on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shoshanna_keats_jaskoll Shoshanna on Twitter https://twitter.com/skjask Chochmat Nashim https://www.chochmatnashim.org/ Jewish Life Photo Bank https://jewishlifephotos.com/ Smashing Life, my private Jewish community https://smashinglife.club/ JMeetups.com, where you can find love across our global Jewish community https://jmeetups.com/
