Shira Berkovits — "Finding and Meeting a Need"
Welcome back, Just For This listeners! Each week, host Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch (she/her) interviews women in leadership about women and leadership. Inspired by the story of Esther, we feature powerful stories of women who stand out in their fields, who have stepped up just for this moment. Our guest today is Shira Berkovits, President and CEO of Sacred Spaces. She has worked with Jewish communities across five continents to prevent, handle, and heal from institutional abuse. Bringing a uniquely Jewish lens, Shira partners with leaders to build healthy and accountable institutions, whose culture and daily operations foster sacredness and reduce the risk of harassment, abuse, and other forms of interpersonal harm. We talk about curiosity, the importance of community and self-care in this heavy profession, and the ways that we shift our work as professionals to meet the moment.
