JewFem Blog: Social Activism
The headlines heralded what many of us have been agitating for years: Orthodox women are going to be recognized as rabbis in Israel. All over social media, Orthodox women virtually cheered, as did their allies. But that excitement after last week's decision by Israel's attorney general, Avichai Mandelblit, to require the rabbinate to accept women's...

About the Jewish men in Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit

JewFem Blog: Social Activism

Alan Dershowitz seems nervous. That was clear in his interview in the new Netflix documentary, Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich , that chronicles Epstein's sex trafficking operation. Dershowitz challenged his accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, to say on camera that she was forced to have sex with him 'six or seven times'. She did just that. It does not...

​The Kol Hanashim Women's Party did not, alas, make it into the Knesset, but we certainly made waves.  With a diverse list of women -- Jewish, Muslim and Christian; from North, Center and South; religious and non-religious, immigrants and veterans; young mothers, single women and grandmothers; able and disabled; straight and LGBT; women of all...

Elana Sztokman
Thursday, 06 February 2020
JewFem Blog: Social Activism

Every time I turn on my computer, I remember why I decided to form a women's political party. Not alone, obviously, but with a diverse and talented group of women. Nevertheless, I am constantly reminded about what brought me here, every time the screen comes to life. No matter how many ad-blockers I use, the ads are constant: Do I want a hot babe? ...

I went to Cyprus to support the rape victim. Here is what happened.

Elana Sztokman
Tuesday, 07 January 2020
JewFem Blog: Social Activism
I spent the morning at the Cypriot courthouse with 70 other Israelis protesting the sentencing of a rape victim for "public mischief", a crime she was charged with because she dared go to the police to report a gang-rape. Despite the evidence supporting her story — 35 bruises on her arms and legs and genitals, 12 condoms, blood, pathology reports s...

28 women elected to Knesset -- a number that keeps going DOWN

Elana Sztokman
Wednesday, 18 September 2019
JewFem Blog: Social Activism











As of now, 28 women made it into this Knesset, 1 less than the previous Knesset, and 7 less than the Knesset before that. Of those 28, 2 are Arab, 1 is Druze, 1 is Ethiopian, and 1 is haredi. While many great women didn't make it, and while these numbers are troubling (and there are NO women in the Blue-White coalition negotiations), and while I am...
