Rabbi Emily Langowitz

I’ve always believed that skilled, connected, empowered Jewish women belong in every room where decisions are being made. Our voices matter and our stories deserve to be heard. Lucky me that it’s my job to create a world that better reflects that belief.

Follow us, donate to our work, and Jewish women of the Valley, come take a class with me this fall! (Register here: womenlearning.org/courses/)

Headed into Shabbat and into August feeling grateful for one month under my belt as the official new Executive Director of the Women's Leadership Institute AZ!

Terrific piece on this week's parsha, Bo, by Cantor Michael Zoosman and the ongoing fight against the death penalty in the U.S., part of @yourbayit's parshanut series on building an ethic of social justice. @Jews4Abolition #tikkunolam #parsha #Torah #socialjustice #deathpenalty

@TheRaDR totally, I recently (pre-RH) attended a terrific seminar put on by Women's Advocacy Group of Holy Blossom Temple in Toronto, with Rabbi Yael Splansky, @RabbiLangowitz, Kat Owens from LEAF, @MegStephensLaw, and Dr. @MarthPaynter, I learned so much (ie see: twitter.com/MarthPaynter/s…)

As we head to the polls, let’s remember that no person or religion has a monopoly on moral authority in this country. //

And let’s acknowledge that the Arizona trial court judge who lifted the injunction is not responsible for stripping Arizonans of their freedoms and autonomy. That responsibility falls with the legislature. And every seat is on the ballot in a few short weeks…

As we were rehearsing for Kol Nidre, my co-leader turned to me and asked: "If you were giving a sermon this year for the holidays, what would it be about? Would it be about abortion?"…
