(8) Dr. Rachel Levmore: Influencing the Rabbinic Courts

This podcast is powered by LSJS. Visit https://www.lsjs.ac.uk/ for our full Jewish learning programme & find something that suits you. Dr Rachel Levmore has spent decades bridging the world of Jewish Law, academia and social activism to help people from all walks of life negotiate the difficult process of Jewish divorce. That makes her one of my real mentors professionally and my inspiration for the work that I've done in Get refusal. She's a veteran who has dedicated her life to this issue.  Rachel is a Rabbinical Court Advocate, and the director of the Aguna Prevention Project. She lives in Efrat and has a PHD in Talmud and Jewish Law from Bar Ilan University. For more information on these topics, listen to our episode with Keshet Starr on Get refusal, our episode with Shoshanna Keats-Jaskoll on social activism, and read Rachel's article, [article title]. If you're a woman who wants to improve her own halachic knowledge, you can join our Iyun Women's Halacha Programme. To read Rachel Levmore's article, "Agunot, Follow These Instructions," click here.
