WASHINGTON \u2013 When Amy Spitalnick<\/strong> was a senior in college, she attended a Hillel pane discussion where her question on Israel was summarily dismissed due to her age.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone said to me \u2018You\u2019re young, you don\u2019t understand.\u2019 It sticks with me so deliberately as a way in which younger and more diverse voices have been treated in institutional Jewish spaces,\u201d she recalls.<\/p>\n

In the 15 years since that dismissive put-down, Spitalnick has become a central figure in the U.S. Jewish community, most notably successfully spearheading a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the white supremacists behind the infamous Charlottesville \u201cUnite the Right\u201d<\/a> rally in August 2017.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, she was tapped as the new CEO for the Jewish Council for Public Affairs \u2013 the nearly 80-year-old legacy organization that has traditionally been defined by its efforts to be driven by consensus.<\/p>\n

The hire of Spitalnick \u2013 who went viral earlier this year after clashing with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene<\/a> during a congressional hearing \u2013 undoubtedly represents the JCPA adopting a more activist, progressive approach toward the issues that are of most pressing concern to American Jews.<\/p>\n

It is also, however, the latest instance of a young woman taking the reins of a key Jewish institution and helping steer the community, often bogged down by leadership abiding by an \u201cold boy network\u201d mentality, into a more diverse and inclusive environment that better reflects the community itself.<\/p>\n

This new mode of thinking also extends to Israel, where women leaders have become increasingly emboldened in voicing their criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s far-right government. This includes speaking at rallies aimed directly at visiting Israeli ministers, lending the protest movement support from the highest levels of the American-Jewish
community<\/p>\n

Rabbi Jill Jacobs<\/strong>, CEO of T\u2019ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights, recalls the disparity when she first entered the field after concluding rabbinical school 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe leadership was largely male. Certainly in the broader Jewish community, but even in the social justice sector the leadership was more male with a few exceptions,\u201d she says, flagging people like then-Jewish Community Relations Council of Boston Executive Director Nancy Kaufman and then-American Jewish World Service CEO Ruth Messinger.<\/p>\n

Jacobs believes the Jewish community is in \u201ca much better place right now,\u201d noting that there are more women CEOs than men within organizations that are part of the Jewish Social Justice Roundtable, though men still outflank women within mainstream Jewish organizations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s slowly changing, but it\u2019s still a place where the Jewish community is very much playing catch-up to getting to a place where it\u2019s at least 50-50,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

This slow shift was experienced firsthand by Jewish Democratic Council of America CEO Halie Soifer<\/strong>, who spent nearly two decades working as a foreign policy staffer for members of Congress and the Obama administration before segueing to the Jewish professional world.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was hired as the first employee of JDCA in mid-2018, there were too few women leading Jewish organizations,\u201d she recounts. \u201cResearch from that time published by Leading Edge identified a sizable gender gap among Jewish nonprofits: Women made up the majority of the workforce, but the CEOs were overwhelmingly men.\u201d<\/p>\n

Soifer points to the progress made in dual areas: the fact that women previously holding the title of executive director are now serving as CEOs; and that a greater number of women are serving in a range of leadership roles at Jewish organizations, including those not focused exclusively on women\u2019s issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be clear, no one wants to be selected for these roles solely because of their gender \u2013 leaders should be selected because they\u2019re the best person for the job \u2013 but qualified women should not be overlooked for leadership positions,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

These efforts have tangible implications within the organizations themselves, particularly considering organizational culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt used to be assumed that organizations were run by a man working 24 hours a day and traveling 200 days a year and never seeing his family. That 100 percent still exists in many organizations, but that culture is changing and the expectations of always being available and being able to get in the airplane at any moment are changing,\u201d Jacobs says.<\/p>\n

This has also resulted in a cultural shift of sorts, moving away from models of top-down management and outmoded norms of communication toward resembling an environment that better captures what people want from their workplace.<\/p>\n

Another result is fair pay as organizations institute salary bands with explicitly clear guidelines on how one can move within these levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cI certainly had the experience early in my career of finding out that men who were at the exact same level as me had negotiated for tens of thousands of dollars more,\u201d Jacobs recounts. \u201cThey knew that they were allowed to negotiate, and there\u2019s a lot of survey data showing leaders are more willing to hear hard negotiation from men. We wanted to disrupt that pattern,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

Soifer stresses that \u201cfor too long, Jewish legacy organizations were overwhelmingly led by a homogeneous group of men. While that has started to change, there\u2019s more work to be done at every level to further diversify Jewish communal leadership \u2013 and I have no doubt that additional diversity will benefit Jewish organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Behind the times<\/strong><\/p>\n

This leadership shift has immediate and wide-ranging implications both within the organizations and the Jewish establishment, as well the policies for which the Jewish world outwardly advocates.<\/p>\n

One such example is parental and family leave policy initiatives, which was spearheaded by Advancing Women Professionals and the Jewish Community founder Shifra Bronznick and strategist Rabbi Joanna Samuels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I came into the field, it was very unusual to have any parental leave policy whatsoever, and certainly the ones that existed tended to be very short or not really thought out,\u201d says Jacobs.<\/p>\n

A 2009 survey from the Better Work, Better Life Campaign found that only 35 percent of Jewish organizations offered paid leave and flexibility on an ad hoc basis, with many citing budget constraints and work ethic questions. Within six years, at least 100 organizations committed to adopting better policies.<\/p>\n

This extends to issues that may not necessarily be traditionally considered \u201cwomen\u2019s issues\u201d such as mass incarceration, but are approached by organizations like T\u2019ruah with a gender- focused lens.<\/p>\n

Yet despite all the positive momentum of recent years, all the leaders remain conscious of the work still needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe majority of Jewish nonprofit professionals are women, but the majority of Jewish nonprofit CEOs are men. This disparity often means that Jewish organizations are not sufficiently set up for women to thrive at all levels of the organization. Ensuring equal pay, paid family leave, proper pumping rooms and access, and more, is essential to recruiting and keeping women in the
workplace,\u201d says National Council of Jewish Women CEO Sheila Katz.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Katz, who assumed control of her organization in 2019 after spending more than a decade at Hillel International, has since become a leading Jewish voice for women-centric issues at a time when they have been under unprecedented attack from the U.S. government \u2013 culminating with last year\u2019s Supreme Court decision to overturn the constitutional right to an abortion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are more women in Jewish leadership roles and community roles than ever before, and yet there is still so much progress to make. The major roles in the mainstream Jewish leadership landscape are still overwhelmingly occupied by older white men, who make significantly more money than the women in similar positions and who get hired when organizations are thriving rather than in crisis,\u201d Katz says.<\/p>\n

Katz decries how the majority of Jewish media and mainstream organizations \u201ccontinue to pander to the old boys club,\u201d which she says maintains an agenda benefiting the status quo.<\/p>\n

She says the Jewish communal landscape desperately needs a transformation that centers the needs of the whole Jewish community, citing Pew Research Center survey data depicting the Jewish community\u2019s significant and widely agreed-upon views on issues like reproductive rights, even though they are not always labeled as Jewish issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cJewish women\u2019s organizations continue to receive less than 2 percent of all organized giving, consistent with women\u2019s organizations in the United States and across the globe,\u201d Katz notes. \u201cEven those organizations that raise funds specifically from women often allocate those resources for priorities set by men.\u201d<\/p>\n

Progressive values under threat<\/strong><\/p>\n

These discrepancies capture a greater ongoing battle: the evolving understanding that Jewish organizations are behind the times with issues fundamentally impacting American Jews.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen a recognition that Jewish safety is deeply entangled with the safety of so many other communities and the vibrancy and health of our democracy,\u201d says JCPA\u2019s Spitalnick. \u201cIn so many ways, it\u2019s forced a reckoning in terms of the priorities that we hold in terms of the voices who are speaking on behalf of the community. We\u2019re now at a moment where we need to ensure legacy Jewish organizations and this communal space catches up with this reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

To that end, Spitalnick argues that the Supreme Court\u2019s abortion ruling is part of a larger rise in antidemocratic extremism that is inherently at odds with the values held by the majority of American Jews. \u201cThe broader progressive values that underpin everything this community generally stands for are under threat,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s no surprise that younger women leaders have been particularly motivated to step into this space and to fight for these values. All of it connects directly to our safety and the safety of our community,\u201d Spitalnick adds.<\/p>\n

The leaders interviewed all cited how this illustrates the need to include Jewish voices currently facing compounding levels of discrimination, citing Jewish women of color, older women, queer women and diverse candidates across the spectrum of age, identity and experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
