Description

Welcome back to Just For This. Each week, host Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch (she/her) interviews women in leadership about women and leadership. Inspired by the story of Esther, we feature powerful stories of women who stand out in their fields, who have stepped up just for this moment. 

Our guest this week is Orly Erez Likhovski, Executive Director of the Israel Religious Action Center(IRAC), the public and legal advocacy arm of the Israel Movement for Reform and Progressive Judaism. IRAC is also a long-standing grantee of Women of Reform Judaism's YES Fund.

We discuss the importance of a liberal Jewish voice in Israel and the efforts toward a shared society between Arabs and Israelis, even as the war continues.

We also discuss the importance of voting in the U.S. election to the World Zionist Congress; voting closes May 4, 2025. Visit www.zionistelection.org to vote or www.vote4reform.org to learn more about the importance of standing up for our Reform values in Israel.
