Listen "Inside Hasidism: The Misogynism Within Ultra-Orthodox Judaism."
Episode Synopsis
Goldie Hoffman grew up as one of 10 kids in a Hasidic family in an insular community in Brooklyn, New York. She endured strict gender roles, dress codes, and food laws. Her education was also limited as she was a girl in a Hasidic community. From a very early age, she was already acutely aware of and hated her restrictive second-class status. She knew what sexism was before she knew the word.While obtaining a degree in History and Middle East Studies, Goldie learned that anything countering the current neo-'progressive' viewpoint was not accepted, denigrated as 'Orientalist' and therefore racist and uneducated. She has experienced life within different societies and cultures -- which can make her feel like everywhere's home and yet nowhere is all at the same time.
