Uplifting Women in the Workforce

Recorded on International Women’s Day, this week's episode of Adapting poses the question: if the workforce of Jewish education is largely dominated by women, why are there still disproportionately more men in the senior leadership positions?

 This introspective conversation with Dr. Sara Shapiro-Plevan and David Bryfman explores many of the inequities that exist in the Jewish communal workspace and offers both employees and employers advice and tactics on how to bridge these divides. It emphasizes that when we uplift women in the workforce, it creates a more equitable environment for all. 

This episode was produced by Dina Nusnbaum and Miranda Lapides. The show’s executive producers are David Bryfman, Karen Cummins, and Nessa Liben.

This episode was engineered and edited by Nathan J. Vaughan of NJV Media.
