WRN Invites You to Share Your Family and Medical Leave Story



The Women’s Rabbinic Network is launching a project in the Reform Movement to gather stories about our community’s personal experiences with family and medical leave. This work, of course, reflects WRN’s ongoing mission to positively influence the Jewish world concerning gender equity issues. If you have experience with taking parental, caregiving, or medical leave, paid or unpaid - we want to hear about it! If you have experience implementing or managing leave in your congregation or organization - we want to hear about it! Below you will find the link to record a 2-minute video response (audio and text response are also available), reflecting on your leave experience, the good, the challenges, and anything in between. These videos will be used to give human faces to vital policy issues and help educate Jewish institutions and congregations about the importance of paid family and medical leave.

Please take just a few moments to click here and share your story.


Please share this invitation with others in the Reform Movement to help us showcase the voices of the many employees, of different genders and professions, that serve our community in a variety of ways.


We also invite professional and lay leaders to record their reflections on implementing paid leave policies and supporting employees.


If you would like to provide an anonymous story, please email to Rabbi Zamore (see below), and we will have someone record your story, making clear it was an anonymous contribution. Only Rabbi Zamore will see you name. 


Contact Rabbi Mary Zamore if you have questions.


This WRN narrative project is generously funded by a Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ) YES Fund grant.
