On this first episode of The Salon, Host Jane Eisner, editor of The Forward, leads a panel of distinguished guests in the first-ever Jewish women’s issues discussion on television!
Guests include former Manhattan Borough President Ruth Messinger, now head of the American Jewish World Service; journalist Lynn Harris; Bronya Shaffer, a leading writer in the Chabad-Lubavitch hasidic movement; and Mediaite.com editor Rachel Sklar, author of the upcoming book “Jew-ish.”
From the challenges of motherhood to what to call women in the Orthodox “rabbinate,” to the effects of the healthcare debate on regular women, our panelists dig into the pressing issues facing Jewish women today.
