Episode 12 - Shavuos and the Role of the Jewish Woman in Kabalas Hatorah

So many women struggle when it comes to holidays that seem to focus more on the men than the women (think Shavuos, Purim, and Simchas Torah). What is the role of the Jewish woman when it comes to Kabalas Hatorah? Avital Chizhik-Goldschmidt joins me to talk about the role of modern-day Jewish woman on shavous -- and all year long.

Avital is a writer living in NYC. She's the life editor at The Forward, and her work has appeared in Haaretz, Tablet, and the NY Times. Her husband is Rabbi of a large shul on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. I found her unique perspective as a frum mom, wife, and writer, as well as an advocate for promoting the voices and faces of Orthodox women refreshing, and I hope you will too!
