Women’s Gallery: Showcasing Women In Jewish Leadership podcast

“I’ve seen the difference it makes when women’s voices and talents are included at all levels,” says Joanne Greenaway, CEO at the London School of Jewish Studies, who as well as being a communal leader and educator is also an international lawyer who spent 10 years developing expertise in resolving Jewish divorce cases individually and systemically. For this reason, Women’s Gallery Podcast will spotlight incredible female leaders making a mark in the Jewish community. Interviewing a different woman leader in each episode, Women’s Gallery will explore different models of leadership in the context of schools, shuls, universities, batei din and every place where we can find incredible female leaders, showcasing the women defining Jewish leadership today.

Hadassa and I met over Chanukah when she was in London promoting her new book - a book which has made a huge impression on both me and my daughter. Hadassah started this book project in the wake of October 7th to help parents talk about the trauma of that terrible day, and to cope with the trauma that developed in its wake. Hadassah has emerged as a genuine role model in that sense, and I'm very excited to talk with her more about the book and its impact, as well as about her life, her world, and particularly about parenting. She’s a mother of seven which, as a mother of four, sounds impressive! We talk mother to mother about parenting in the digital age, setting digital boundaries, self regulation, the power of stories, and resilience. We also focus on taking social responsibility and connecting with your inner hero, and discover the surprising truth about when she learned English! The Heroes of October 7th may be purchased in the UK here , and in the US here .…

How do we help our children cope with the emotional fallout of war? This is just one of Rabbanit Yafit Clymer’s current roles, achieved as Rabbanit Beit Sefer of Midreshet Amit Girls High School in Modiin where, through Yafit’s unique blend of pastoral and spiritual guidance, she’s helping girls deal with loss caused by the war, anger with God, and how to pray in these times. Having a school rabbanit, a role that doesn't exist all over the world, has been vital and we discuss what the role means and why it’s needed. Also a teacher of Tanach & Talmud at Matan and LSJS, Rabbanit Yafit is currently studying for a doctorate in Jewish Philosophy at Bar Ilan University. We consider how to find the right balance in a syllabus between factual knowledge and spiritual awareness, and touch on Meshivat Nefesh , a responsa website where men and women answer halachic questions in all areas. Then, in explaining how to see God talking to us through history, Rabbanit Yafit delivers a powerfully real message that I think can uplift us all in these incredibly testing times.

Esty is a Chareidi Mizrachi social activist, entrepreneur and trailblazer. We met when she was in London screening Woman of Valour , a documentary film about her life and activism, and I was blown away by her bravery and her achievements. In 2012, she launched No Voice, No Vote , a social media-based protest movement calling on ultra orthodox Chareidi women not to vote for parties that barred women from their ranks, and on the back of that she founded Nivcharot , which raises awareness on women’s rights in Chareidi society. She’s a pioneer establishing all sorts of online forums promoting an honest exchange of views on subjects like divorce, birth control, sexual harassment, abuse and arranged marriages, all of which are to some extent still taboo in the Chareidi world. Esty has a new podcast in Israel called Chareidit Meduberet (Spoken Chareidi) where she interviews people who share this fresh approach and voice to discuss challenging issues in a new, open way. We speak about change management, using a pseudonym to write about politics as a Chareidi woman, and shifting practises away from that, the potential dangers of the future of Israeli politics, how not to feed the monster of social media, and struggling with the F word - feminism.

Rabbanit Michelle Cohen Farber is the founder of Hadran, advancing Talmud study and Daf Yomi for women. Michelle studied Talmud at Bar Ilan University and at Midreshet Lindenbaum Scholars’ Programme. She’s taught gemara and halacha in Pelech Jerusalem, Midreshset Lindenbaum and Matan Hasharon. Together with her husband, she founded and leads Kehilat Netivot in Ra’anana where they live with their 5 children. We discuss how the anchor of Daf Yomi kept her going through the traumas we’ve been through as a people, why she focuses on women learning Talmud rather than Tanach, and how, while peers left studying for teaching, she continued to invest in her own learning until she judged the right time to move to teaching, and the difference that’s made for her and for others.

This podcast is powered by LSJS. Visit lsjs.ac.uk for our full Jewish learning programme & find something that suits you. This week we’re meeting Hadassah Shemtov. Hadassah lives in LA where she teaches Gemara and Chumash to high school girls, particularly within the Chabad community. Hadassah noticed amongst the women in her community an underlying ‘estrangement from the source of our tradition’. She saw that many high school students were unfamiliar with the evolutionary process of halacha and thought it to be arbitrary rules. She found a low expectation for rigorous scholarship within Torah study that led peers to seek intellectual satisfaction elsewhere. So she co-founded the Batsheva Learning Center in 2015, and has spearheaded numerous innovative learning opportunities for women there, primarily in the New York area but also across the US. Hadassah and I discuss standing on the shoulders of giants such as Sarah Schnierer, what Chabad schools teach that others don’t, and the leadership advantage that Chabad ‘shluchot’ have over other female leaders.

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.…

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.…

She’s invested in communal service on both local and national levels, and participates in the joint project of the UK Foreign Ministry and Search for Common Ground, in which leading Muslim and Jewish figures create a basis for religious dialogue in the Arab-Israeli conflict. We discuss access to Torah scholarship for women, and also what October 7 has meant for Surale’s ongoing relationships with Muslim leaders and the different, more fundamental questions she now feels she needs to ask.

We're meeting Tal Bassali in this episode, a passionate, ambitious individual whose vision was to create something “so beautiful that it united people together but enabled them to remain individuals.” Enter the Zehud school , a Jewish online school teaching Hebrew and Judaic Studies to Jewish children. Living in Venice, Tal quickly realized that the type of Jewish education she wanted for her children wasn't available locally. In creating what she needed for her children, she's enabled hundreds of other Jewish children in far flung communities to join her community and receive a powerful, joyous Jewish education wherever they are in the world. In addition to education, Tal and I discuss the weight of our collective European memory, being a reluctant public speaker, and how to grow into your role - all in this episode of Women's Gallery.

She’s also a prolific writer, reader and Jewish educator as well as being a lawyer like me, and I had the privilege of working very closely with Keshet and getting to know her while I was managing get (Jewish divorce) cases at the London Beit Din, and I still turn to Keshet for advice. Keshet and I had a great chat about showing up as a female in a very male-dominated space, how to give control and autonomy to others, picking your battles, and sustainable female leadership - having it all (but not necessarily at the same time).
