I think of Mijal Bitton as a spiritual entrepreneur - she's the Rosh Kehilla, spiritual leader, of the Downtown Minyan in New York City, where she's building vibrant traditional Jewish life. She's also a Torah teacher, a thought leader, and a sociologist with a current research focus on Sefardic Jews.

Mijal has really pivoted her energies lately to leading at this time of need in the Jewish world, speaking at the huge Stand with Israel Washington rally, working in the interfaith world and dealing with antisemitism on campus. I have so much respect for her, and I can't wait to introduce you to her.
