(6) Dr. Yardaena Osband: Creating a Leadership Pipeline

Women’s Gallery: Showcasing Women in Jewish Leadership

We’re meeting Dr Yardaena Osband in this episode, who’s quite challenging to introduce because she wears so many hats! She’s a founding member of the Orthodox Leadership Project, which empowers Orthodox Jewish women’s leadership as a way of strengthening Jewish communities through professional development, education and partnerships. She’s also a paediatrician, teacher, co-host of the Daf Yomi podcast Talking Talmud, and board member of ORA and the Eden Center.

With so much to choose from, we spoke about women’s leadership in the Orthodox world, touching on the education of our girls and whether that helps us to grow female leaders, and the issue of recognition, and whether or not women need a professional title.
