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.

Our last guest of the season is Rabbi Sharon Brous, senior and founding rabbi of IKAR, a leading edge Jewish community based in Los Angeles. She is also author of The Amen Effect: Ancient Wisdom to Heal Our Hearts and Mend Our Broken World, a national bestseller.

We discuss the power of openhearted human connection and the diversity in expressions of faith.
