Welcome back to Just For This. 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 guest this week is Senator Jacky Rosen. She has served as the junior senator for Nevada since 2019. She is also the first member of the senate to previously serve as a temple president.

We discuss the dilemma of security expenses for synagogues and other houses of worship, the need for bipartisan support to combat hate, and a story of hope as we enter the new Jewish year.
