Episode 125 - The Woman For the Wall: A Conversation with Leah Aharoni

<p><strong>ABOUT THIS EPISODE</strong></p> <p>Leah Aharoni is a business consultant, long-time Israeli olah, mother of seven, and much more. She is also the founder of Women For the Wall, a grassroots activist organization promoting traditional prayer roles at Western Wall. Her story is fascinating and, to some, perhaps provocative. Regardless of one's perspective, Leah forces us to think about how Israeli society functions, and how Jewish debate should be approached in a modern world.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">--------------------</span></p> <p><strong>ABOUT THIS PODCAST</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jews You Should Know introduces the broader community to interesting and inspiring Jewish men and women making a difference in our world.
