  • Focus is too narrow

    Honestly, there is so much potential to this podcast but they focus so heavily on divorce, aguna, and gets. It’s not relevant to many of us and there are other issues affecting Jewish women.

    I wish the episodes were longer! As a Masorti/Conservative rebbetzin who leans more MO in practice, I find these podcasts applicable in their celebration of Jewish women’s voices and issues.
