Five places I see glimmers of liberation (in chronological order):

1) This piece on fatphobia and dieting in the Jewish community from Rabbi @minnabromberg https://www.jta.org/2021/05/04/opinion/take-it-from-a-fat-rabbi-nobody-needs-your-dieting-advice">https://www.jta.org/2021/05/0...

Take it from a fat rabbi: Nobody needs your dieting advice - Jewish Telegraphic Agency

2) This piece (which you may have seen as parts of a twitter thread) on the "reckoning that must come" regarding sexual misconduct and abuses of power in Jewish leadership from @TheRaDR. https://forward.com/opinion/468977/rabbis-sexual-misconduct-judaism-reform/">https://forward.com/opinion/4...

Our conversations about healthy leadership cannot, and should not, begin and end with the question, “Is this person a sexual abuser?”
