Orly Erez-Likhovski – Repairing Israel in our Name
Tuesday 27 August, 20:00-21:30

Orly is the Executive Director of the Israel Religious Action Centre, the Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism’s activist arm. She has served as lawyer at IRAC since 2004, as Director of the Legal Department from 2014-2021, and Director of IRAC since 2021.

Orly has brought about significant legal achievements such as making gender segregation on Israeli public transportation illegal, ending the Orthodox monopoly on state-funded salaries to rabbis, filing (and winning) the first ever class action suit regarding exclusion of women, and disqualifying racist candidates from running to Israel’s parliament.

How does she and IRAC work today when Israel may be under existential crisis? Can you still repair Israel when the future seems so uncertain?

Orly will join us from Jerusalem on Zoom and you can join the evening on Zoom or in person at EHRS with Rabbi Mark.
