A Cable to Jewish Life

22-CJ The Modern Jewish Woman - "Chasidic and Liberated"
Say good-bye to stereotypes of religious women and welcome a mind-blowing discussion, among Sheindy Jacobson, Sara Chana Schreiber, and Sheina Konigsberg, about the role of the chasidic woman in the Jewish community--and why today's Orthodox woman is more liberated than any feminist. Konigsberg is the real-life heroine of the best-selling book, Holy Days, by New Yorker Magazine writer Liz Harris.
33-CJ Waters of Purity - "The Mikvah Revisited"
Jewish women learn why Jewish survival depends on Jewish family life, and why family life depends on the mikvah (ritual bath), respect for women, and self-discipline. This time-honored way of Jewish life is the talk of guests Sarah Karmely and Susan Raven, who discovered the mikvah after 26 years of marriage. Her motivation: to purify her children. The mikvah's still waters run deep for all Jewish women--and will purify the souls of you and all your children.

68-CJ Jewish Women United for Redemption
When Moshiach comes, says Isaiah, "We'll know G-d . . . as an integral part of every dimension of our lives." Like the Israelite women of the Exodus, today's women, with tambourines in hand to greet Moshiach, are actually hastening him, say Rebbetzin Sara Balkany and Basha Oka.

Will inspire you to learn about the imminent Redemption and the major role Jewish women are playing to effect it.
101-CJ Women for Israel

112-CJ Marriage - "The Torah Way"
What is it about marriage and why is it even more necessary when children are involved? Educators and mothers Chana Sharfstein and Nechama Heber talk about Torah-based marriage, the good old-fashioned way, a garden that needs tending and love, in which Torah values supply the water. An eye-opening invitation to marry and raise children that works and lasts a lifetime.
131-CJ Finding the Woman of Valor

Once you see this show, never again will you think that women in Orthodox Judaism play secondary roles. For Jewish women, this is a feel-good experience. For the men in their lives, it is a way to appreciate their wives even more.
141-CJ Jewish Women March Again
The Women in Green Hats, headed by Ruth Matar, are back on the streets of Israel again, and this time they are determined to exert pressure on Bibi Netanyahu to help him stop the appeasement process.

Find out what this highly mobilized, strongly influential group of Women in Green proposes to do to save the soul of Israel by helping Israel be the best Israel can be--for the love of the Jewish people--and for you, too.
