WOMEN IN ISRAELI SOCIETY: THE ARMY, THE RABBIS, AND ME 

Speaker: Linda Gradstein

ABOUT THE LECTURE: While Israel is widely admired for including women in army  service and for being among the first countries to elect a female Prime Minister, Israeli  women face many of the same challenges as females worldwide as well as issues  unique to Israel. In this talk, Gradstein addresses the issues as she has seen and lived  them: from her own experiences with rabbinic courts to her daughter’s army service and beyond.
