Jewish Orthodox women have a lot to say.
On October 30, join Forward Lifestyle Editor Avital Chizhik-Goldschmidt for “And What Does She Say?” a panel led by accomplished Orthodox women. The event, at 7 p.m. at the Lincoln Square Synagogue in Manhattan, brings together four women in leadership roles for an empowering conversation.
Accompanying Chizhik-Goldschmidt, who also teaches journalism at Yeshiva University, is Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll, co-founder of Chochmat Nashim; Leslie Ginsparg Klein, author and academic dean of the Women’s Insitute of Torah Seminary; and Bracha Rutner, Yoetzet Halacha and assistant principal at Yeshiva University High School for Girls.
The event is open to men and women.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
That’s why I’m paying it Forward, by matching $36,000 of reader gifts. It’s an investment in the Forward’s newsroom, to continue telling the American Jewish story with truth and independence.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
