Jordan, As a new board member of the JWA, I'm doubly honored that you attended the WomenGirlsLadies panel and blogged here about it. It is interesting but not surprising to note that for both Deborah and me, absorbing the Jewish sense of social justice propelled us to work for causes like civil rights and gender equality. I imagine there are many Jewish social activists who don't necessarily wear their Jewishness on their sleeves but who are nevertheless strongly motivated by it. I for one am grateful for that tradition.
