Michelle Citrin — What Are We Waiting For?

Welcome back, Just For This listeners! 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.  Season 6 kicks off with Jewish singer-songwriter Michelle Citrin. Michelle will soon serve as the musician-in-residence at Women of Reform Judaism's Fried Women's Summit, December 9-10 in Philadelphia. All those who identify as women, nonbinary, or genderfluid are welcome to attend this special gathering grounded in sisterhood, spirituality, and social justice. Make sure to register before September 30 to secure an early bird rate! Special young adult rates and scholarships are also available. Fried Women's Summit will immediately precede Union for Reform Judaism's Biennial, the Reform Movement's largest gathering of Jews in North America, where Michelle will also help led the group in music. In today's episode, we talk about celebrating Jewish identity through joy and humor, how to model authenticity coupled with vulnerability, and the differences between vertical and horizontal connections.
