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 final season 5 guest is Shira Kline, storyteller and co-founder of Storahtelling and Lab/Shul NYC, where she serves as the spiritual leader.

We talk about the season's theme of spiritual resistance, the art of song leading, and the power of the "smush."

Many thanks to Congregation Kol Ami in White Plains, NY that hosted this conversation in person.

Stay tuned for more Just For This moments next season.
