We opened the floodgates, and your questions poured in. In this season finale, you asked us about our work, our faith, the way Jewish law works in society, the new Jewish Life photo bank, and lots more. So we answered! It’s Shoshanna and Anne, with fast-paced responses to many listener-submitted questions.

– In which we discuss the Olympic gold medalist who can’t marry in Israel and the Bnei Menashe who did.

– And in which we talk with Yael Braun, the only female Rabbinic court advocate (that we know of) in the US, and possibly in the Diaspora.

– In which we discuss a shul’s hiring of a woman as their rabbi.
– In which we talk about a firestorm in the UK over abuse.
– In which we consider the many ways women may feel unwelcome in shul, and several ways to change that.
– And in which we DISH on 2 activities worth some of your summertime.

– In which we, with special guest Rachel Stomel, discuss the closure of a group dedicated to Orthodox feminism and if we must choose one or the other.

– In which coalition head, Idit Silman is called a little girl in Knesset — twice!

– In which we dish on whiskey & women’s learning.

– In which Israel has a new government (with ample opportunity to erase women, no less)!
– In which we reflect on the Flag March and what it once was and what it could be, including why it has become controversial.
– And in which we acknowledge the women who never gave up, in their behind-the-scenes roles that helped form this government.
