Episode Synopsis
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 New York Times best-selling author Anita Diamant, whose work includes fiction, journalism, essays and guidebooks to contemporary Jewish life. Her well-known and varied books include The Red Tent, The Jewish Wedding Now, and Period. End of Sentence.
