Rabbi Arielle Stein — Fashion is Power

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 Rabbi Arielle Stein. She currently serves as Assistant Rabbi at Congregation Rodeph Sholom in New York City. Together with Rabbi Rafi Ellenson, Stein started the Instagram account @rabbinicfitcheck — a style diary for the rabbinate and beyond. We discuss the transformation of what a rabbi looks like over time, the integration of arts into Judaism, and how fashion brings levity into everyday life. Make sure to follow @rabbiariellestein and @rabbinicfitcheck, in addition to @justforthispodcast on Instagram.
