Yes, representation in Israeli politics really matters. Shoshanna and Anne delve into why women running for municipal office is so important (even during the war). For all that elected officials should represent the concerns of the entire population, it is too easy to miss issues that don't touch one directly. Thus, the need for women to focus on c…

Does "Together, we will win" inspire you or depress you? Shoshanna and Anne "take the temperature" of how people are reacting differently to the same general experience of war, from how it is a different experience for Israelis as compared to those around the globe, and how it is different for every Israeli. As promised in the episode, the insane s…

Were the pre-October 7th warnings dismissed because they originated with women? Are the men of the old-boy network at a disadvantage because they have been trained to think in certain ways? Shoshanna and Anne recognize the women who were involved in so many various aspects of October 7th and the war since, with an eye to how women can (and we'll sa…

Antisemitism is the oldest hatred in the book, yet, even in the wake of the October 7th massacre, it's new for each generation, and each person experiences it fresh. Shoshanna and Anne call attention to what's been going on, and consider how we as a people stick together to combat the hatred against us. Plus, a postscript on the American Jewish com…

Music: …

Shoshanna and Anne have been nearly at a loss for words to reflect on Hamas's horrific massacre of some 1,400 people (updated number from recording).

The idea that Israel's beautiful natural pools would have separate hours for men and women to swim is, at first blush, amazingly considerate for the religious populations. But when the very people MK Idit Silman's stalled pilot program is supposed to help don't want it implemented, Shoshanna and Anne are reminded why gender segregation outside of t…

Israel's government voted for the first part of Israel's judicial reform, the "reasonableness" clause, and everyone has an opinion about it, but Anne and Shoshanna focus on other actions of this coalition that are less known and may be even more significant, especially if you're a woman in Israel. Music: "Misery" by The Whips…

Look at your shelf of Jewish books, and you'll see that you have far fewer books authored by women.

Politics have real impact on the lives of Israeli citizens, and the recent passing of the budget means the current ultra-religious, ultra-nationalist government can expect to be in place for some time. Anne and Shoshanna task guest Haviv Rettig-Gur, senior analyst at The Times of Israel, to explain the implications of it all. To do so, he also desc…

In an era of choice, we have many options how we approach our loved ones, communication, our experience of Judaism, and more.

  continue reading
 
Dr. Chavi Kahn joins Anne and Shoshanna to reflect on the legacy of her father, Rabbi Moshe Kahn, z"l, beloved Talmud rebbe at Stern College -- and the recent brouhaha when Stern (temporarily) cancelled its lower level course offerings in Talmud. Why does it matter whether Stern College offers Talmud to its female students? And why should women be …

You know already that hyper-tzniut gets Chochmat Nashim riled up - it's literally the incarnation of the slide to extremism that harms Judaism for everyone. This time it's a cross-body bag, giving Shoshanna and Anne reason to remind everyone that this very Jewish value can be taken too far. Music: "Misery" By The Whips…
  continue reading

Would more women in Israel's coalition change its policies? Who knows, but they'd make a more representative government. Shoshanna and Anne discuss the reversals to women's rights that we'd never have thought would be in danger, in the wake of International Women's Day, no less. Music: "Misery" by The Whips…
  continue reading

Israel's presumptive new government may legalize sex segregation where Israeli law had prohibited it.

For nearly a decade (!), Chochmat Nashim has been exposing and explaining the damage caused by erasing women - that goes so far beyond an interest in seeing women's faces. Anne and Shoshanna revisit the topic with the insights borne of conversations with too many naysayers. It's time to end the erasure of women - and just chill! Music: "Misery" by …
  continue reading
 
The ultra-Orthodox world is banning the internet for women, cutting them off from their livelihoods, their social networks, and their access to information.

  continue reading
 
Anne and Shoshanna take the pulse of how Israel's complex (and teetering) coalition government has improved some of the systems in Israeli society that we care about (with a special mention for Chochmat Nashim's deputy director).

When the news is filled with war and terror, it's hard to focus on the lasting issues, but that's exactly what Shoshanna and Anne try to do in this episode. Specifically, who is a Jew? Israel's Law of Return and Jewish law do not agree. Where does that leave the people who are caught in the gap between them, and how does that relate to the war in U…

Art Spiegelman's "Maus" is a profound treatment of both the Holocaust itself and the experience of the "second-generation."

You likely have heard about school board's decision -- Anne and Shoshanna discuss how it reflects the misguided culture of censorship and the dram…

"What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?!" In Hebrew, this famous rhetorical question is captured by a famous comment by Rashi: What does Shemitah have to do with Mount Sinai?!
