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 Ariel Zwang, CEO of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), the leading global Jewish humanitarian organization operating in 70 countries worldwide.

We discuss the transition from the corporate world to Jewish nonprofits, how to best pivot in moments of crisis, and the shared responsibilities of the Jewish people.
