Last week’s leaked Supreme Court draft majority opinion which would overturn Roe v. Wade portends a seismic shift in abortion legislation. Six months ago, Judaism and gender expert Michal Raucher (Rutgers University) joined Yehuda Kurtzer to discuss how we should and shouldn’t conduct the abortion debate as Jews as well as examining the conversation around reproductive rights and reproductive justice in America and in Israel. We’re proud of that episode. It’s timely, and we’re bringing it back today to help you think about the big Jewish ideas around this important issue.

Identity/Crisis: The Ideas Behind the News is a podcast of the Shalom Hartman Institute.
