Listen "Ruth Messinger — Moral Courage for Social Change"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to Just For This. 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 Ruth Messinger, Global Ambassador for American Jewish World Service and former Manhattan Borough President. Ruth is also a past recipient of the Dr. Jane Evans "Pursuit of Justice" Award, Women of Reform Judaism's highest honor. We discuss the importance of moral courage when it comes to activism, female leadership within the Jewish world, and the current necessary work on immigration and refugee services.
