Naomi Firestone-Teeter — People of the Book

Welcome back to Just For This. Each week, host Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch (she/her) interviews women in leadership about women and leadership. Inspired by the story of Esther, we feature powerful stories of women who stand out in their fields, who have stepped up just for this moment.  Our guest this week is Naomi Firestone-Teeter, CEO of the Jewish Book Council. Each year the council reaches 900,000 readers while celebrating books that reflect the diversity and richness of Jewish experience.  We discuss how books create meaning, prominent authors who help shape leadership journeys, and the importance of uplifting Jewish authors in this moment.
