Five places I see glimmers of liberation (in chronological order):

1) This piece on fatphobia and dieting in the Jewish community from Rabbi @minnabromberg https://www.jta.org/2021/05/04/opinion/take-it-from-a-fat-rabbi-nobody-needs-your-dieting-advice

Take it from a fat rabbi: Nobody needs your dieting advice - Jewish Telegraphic Agency

Be mindful of how your relationship with your body — and how you talk about it publicly — impacts those around you, the founder of Fat Torah writes.

2) This piece (which you may have seen as parts of a twitter thread) on the "reckoning that must come" regarding sexual misconduct and abuses of power in Jewish leadership from @TheRaDR. https://forward.com/opinion/468977/rabbis-sexual-misconduct-judaism-reform/

Opinion | Toxic leadership in the Jewish world goes beyond sexual misconduct

Our conversations about healthy leadership cannot, and should not, begin and end with the question, “Is this person a sexual abuser?”
