Most activists are [modern] Orthodox religious women, and they are basically expressing some kind of moderate feminist approach to Halacha.” At the same time, Stern added, there is growing willingness by haredi Orthodox rabbis in Israel — including Chief Ashke- nazi Rabbi David Lau, who sits part time on the Supreme Rabbinical Court — to inter- pret Jewish law in favor of women. In the case of the father who was sentenced to jail time — and fined some $40,000 — media reports have highlighted that his daughter-in-law suffered a debilitat- ing stroke in 2005 during a family vacation to Israel from New York. e son, who comes from a wealthy and influential chasidic family, then abandoned his wife and their two children, refusing a divorce for 11 years, even aer the rabbinical court ordered him to grant one.

He would have said that black lives matter even more than that political platform or the people who wrote that platform.” Civil dialogue is the way to understand these complexities than slogans, according to Rabbi Stuart Weinblatt of Congregation B’nai Tzedek in Potomac.
