Posted in: Forward: Women at Jewish organizations lag behind in promotions, pay
11/06/09 05:02 PM
You could make a comparison between the salaries ofwomen and men, but the study would have to control for all the factors Ami mentioned: size or organization, years in office, prior experience, etc. But this requires a level of statistical sophistication that the Forward was either unwilling or unable to muster. However, it is still clear that women are over-represented in the workforce of Jewish organizations but underrepresented in their executive professional leadership.

I am also a Jewish student at Northwestern, and I concur with everything that Marisa wrote. What these two essays highlight is that every campus is different. For example, at Sam's campus there are not enough students to justify having multiple kinds of services; at Northwestern, we have three different kinds every Friday. My hope is that Hillel, both at individually at schools and as a movement, will continue to empower students to create their own Jewish experiences and stories as opposed to trying to force everyone in one box. Hillel should provide resources (physical and intellectual space, funds, access to a copier, etc) for students to create the Jewish life they want to see on their campuses. This is what we do at Northwestern, and what should be done on every campus.
