Jewish, Black, and a Survivor of Racism… Perpetrated by Orthodox Jews (34)

March 3, 2020 9:40 am

“Until then, I only thought I was Jewish.”

Elisheva Rishon was born in Brooklyn to Orthodox parents, and as a young child, loved everything about being Jewish. Sadly, the response of too many Orthodox Jews to her skin color made her feel excluded from the Orthodox community, and taught her the unfortunate lesson that she would always be treated differently from others. In this episode of the Orthodox Conundrum, Scott interviews Elisheva about her experiences, her perspective as a Black Jewish woman on racism in the Orthodox world, and what concrete steps we all need to take to eliminate this scourge from our community.

Elisheva created the empowerment-based brand, Eli7 Designs, to help people heal and learn to love themselves through fashion. Visit her website at eli7designs.com/.

Want to see modern day idolatry? Look how some people treat Rashbi's grave.

Last month, @avitalrachel wrote an article about the popularity of The Surrendered Wife among some Orthodox Jews. @TalliRosenbaum and I discuss whether the book's message is truly one that aligns with Torah values.

Last night, crowd control worked. This afternoon, it's a disaster waiting to happen. Apparently police have given up even trying to restrict the numbers. Avoid Meron.
