あらすじ・解説
For episode 11 (part one) of The Good Edit, host Rebecca Davis speaks with transgender woman, activist, author, rabbi, speaker and educator, Abby Stein.
In the first instalment of this two-part gritty and grounded conversation, they explore:
- Abby's experience of growing up in Williamsburg's Ultra-Orthodox Vizhnitz community
- The relationship between Abby and her parents; their royal Chasidic status
- "Feeling different": grappling with religious, gender and sexual identity - all while presenting as an Ultra-Orthodox, cisgender, male Rabbi.
- Abby's Exodus: wrestling with leaving the community, why it seemed almost impossible - but finding the courage to do it anyway.
