    This is important information delivered with love and care. Thank you for doing this work. It matters more than you may ever know.

    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.

    Speaking engagement
    I would love to have you speak to the women in our community. We are primarily an orthodox Chabad community. Maybe via Zoom?

    A New Perspective in Orthodoxy
    This podcast has shown me the diversity that exists within the orthodox community. My eyes have been opened! Thank you!

    Not well articulated and demeaning
    I listened to the abortion episode and the whole time they were saying how it’s a case by case basis, while at the same time, going from the premise that everyone agrees a fetus is not a life because you are only Chayav in nezikin if you force a woman to miscarry. I give them the benefit of the doubt of just being ignorant as most cases of ending a life will not result in death penalty (For example you are not Chayav if you kill a treifa but the person is certainly alive). The only way to give the death penalty is with eidim and hasraa which is a rare case. I would recommend them to do an intellectually honest review of the sugya

    Intelligent, Honest, Disturbing, and - yes, really - Funny
    Anne, Rachel, and Shoshanna are exceptional. They deal with serious issues, confronting them head on, and refuse to ignore problems that are often swept under the rug. At the same time, they demonstrate real commitment to Torah and Halachic Judaism; they want to make the system what it should be, rather than replacing it in a non-Halachic manner. All of this is done with a dose of good humor, and a willingness to acknowledge that they can disagree with others and with each other. Highly recommended.

    Finally!
    This is the voice of the Judaism I love. Thought-provoking and sensible while pushing us to face our own flaws, not from a place of complaining but from a place of wanting to make things better. A breath of fresh air!

    Bright Articulate Jewish Women!
    Love the slogan and love the podcast! You sound like serious Conservative Jews but I know you are all Orthodox. Your conversations are really enjoyable for those of us who love Israel and are hungry to learn about all aspects of Israeli life. I think everyone should listen to the modesty sign Podcast! Best of luck!
