Webinar hosted by Hiddush
In this webinar, CWJ’s executive director Dr. Susan Weiss lays out the way Israel’s entanglement of religion and state has created a partial theocracy that violates women’s rights. Susan reveals how the state conducts inquisition-like investigations into the Jewish status of converts and immigrants while probing the private lives of women in search of “suspected adulteresses” and mamzerim–illegitimate children.
This webinar was co-sponsored by Hiddush, the Jewish Pluralism Legal Action Network (JPLAN), the American Association of Jewish Lawyers & Jurists (AAJLJ), and Rabbis and Cantors for Religious Freedom and Equality in Israel (Ruach Hiddush).
