Episode Details

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 Naomi Azrieli, Chair and former CEO of the Azrieli Foundation, the largest non-corporate public foundation in Canada. In her work, she leads initiatives in education, scientific research, caregiving, Holocaust education, community resilience, and social impact.

This conversation was recorded live at Holy Blossom Temple in Toronto, ON earlier this season when Rabbi Hirsch had the privilege of joining the congregation as a scholar-in-residence.

We discuss the power of personal connections in philanthropy and how to lead through a lens of shared humanity.
