Welcome back to Just For This, a new podcast. 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.

This week's guest is award-winning author Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg (she/her), whose books includes On Repentance and Repair and Nurture the Wow. She writes regularly at lifeisasacredtext.com.

We speak accountability, justice, abortion access, and collective power.

You can read more about Rabbi Ruttenberg's just for this moment in the recent coverage of investigations of gender-based misconduct at the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies at American Jewish University.

We also discuss the Jewish values underpinning an abortion access case before the Supreme Court, Idaho v. United States.
