Welcome back to Just For This, a new podcast. 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.  This week's guest is Amy Spitalnick, CEO of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA). Previously, she led the organization that successfully sued the neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and hate groups responsible for the violent Unite The Right Rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. We reflect on antisemitism, democracy, and Jewish safety. We also speak about Jewish identity and family history, and leading legacy Jewish organizations as millennial women.  Learn more about the history of Women of Reform Judaism here. *Note in this episode, we refer to Amy as a lawyer even though she does not hold that profession. Just For This regrets this error.  View the transcript here.  Follow Just For This on instagram: @justforthispodcast justforthispodcast.com
