The state of abortion in Israel and the ways in which Jewish women are shaping American politics are the topics of this edition of the Women’s Roundtable podcast. Lilith magazine editor Susan Weidman Schneider, Lilith assistant editor Sonia Isard and Forward news fellow Naomi Zeveloff join Sisterhood editor Gabrielle Birkner for the discussion. Then Forward editor Jane Eisner explains her campaign to combat the under-representation of women in American Jewish life. The panelists also take on panelists take on the topic of “what Jewish feminism means to me.”
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
