Great post Judith. I would only add on this point: "For example, the conversation about workplace issues for Jewish women must include awareness that working women often rely on immigrant women and women of color as domestic workers and nannies." Ouch. Of course, the conversation must also include awareness that working MEN often rely on those women as domestic workers and nannies as well. I don't think we should accept the idea that only WOMEN's work outside the home is enabled by the labor of domestic workers. Men employ nannies, they just often delegate this employment relationship to their spouses, which is itself a problem.
