The Jewish Fight For Abortion Access | The Red Tent Fund’s Allison Korman

Описание: Jewish values and reproductive rights take center stage in this week's episode of Being Jewish with Jonah Platt: 30 Minute Mensches. Jonah interviews Allison Tombros Korman, the founder and executive director of the Red Tent Fund, a national abortion fund rooted in Jewish values.

Following the events of October 7th, Allie experienced blatant and pervasive anti-Jewish bigotry at her former organization, leading her to create the first national abortion fund rooted in Jewish values. In this deep dive, Allison shares her personal journey of leaving a dream job due to hostility and her mission to ensure that American Jews—80% of whom support the right to abortion—have a values-aligned way to support reproductive health.

In this episode, we discuss:
The Red Tent Fund: How Allison Korman is bridging the gap between the Jewish community and abortion seekers through a national grassroots fund.
Antisemitism in Activism: The "sea of black boxes" and the isolation Allie faced as the only Jewish employee in a progressive space post-October 7th.
Judaism & Abortion: What Jewish law (Halacha) and values like Tikkun Olam actually say about bodily autonomy and compassion.
Restorative Justice: Why the "secular religion" of social justice is being used to exclude and ostracize Jews in professional circles.
