Clarissa talks with Rabbi Yohanna Kinberg about the influence of the patriarchy on Judaism and how it impacts gender roles in Jewish spaces today. In the early 2000s, Rabbi Kinberg had to act as a whistleblower in a sexual abuse case involving a clergy member. Clarissa asks Rabbi Kinberg about that experience, and her approach to leading tough conversations on gender equality and justice within the larger Jewish community.

Jewish New York with Dr. Deborah Dash Moore

Jews are culturally, religiously, politically, and ethnically unique yet diverse. This podcast aims to explore all of the intricacies and intersectionalities that come with being Jewish. Sometimes we go broad and sometimes we go deep, sometimes it's heavy and sometimes it's light, but it's always eye-opening. Episodes include conversations with academics, scientists, artists, creatives, people who all bring a different lens to the question, “what does it mean to be Jewish in the 21st century?” Whether you're someone who grew up Jewish, Jew-ish, or you joined us by family or by choice, or if you're someone who's just curious, you are welcome here.
