About this episode
Kol Yisrael translates to "all of Israel." In Parashat D'varim, when Moses speaks to kol Yisrael, he's not speaking to a divided Jewish people: he's speaking to them as one. It's fitting that this year, we read Parashat D'varim in the lead up to the Israeli Supreme Court's ruling on an egalitarian prayer space at the Kotel. In this episode of On the Other Hand, Rabbi Jacobs describes what this agreement, the fallout, and the upcoming decision means for Reform Judaism.
