Listen "Ilana Kaufman — Covenant and Curiosity"
Episode Synopsis
Happy Hanukkah, Just For This listeners! 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. Our guest this week is Ilana Kaufman, CEO of the Jews of Color Initiative. Ilana is a prominent thought leader advancing the communal field for Jews of Color and, by extension, the U.S. Jewish Community. We discuss the impossible prompt to choose between identities, the power of philanthropy within the Jewish community, and how tokenism can harm a welcoming environment.
