Avital Chizhik-Goldschmidt: Journalist, Rebbetzin, and the Courage to Say the Hard Things
About this episode
Avital Chizhik-Goldschmidt discusses her experiences as a journalist and rebbetzin, co-founding a synagogue, and the importance of speaking difficult truths.
Avital Chizhik-Goldschmidt is a journalist, rebbetzin, mother, and co-founder of Altneu - one of the most talked-about synagogues in New York City. Known as the spiritual First Lady of the Upper East Side, she’s also the journalist who was once warned her writing would cost her a shidduch. She joins Pod by Pen to talk about co-founding Altneu, living between the Orthodox and secular worlds, and why she’s never been able to stay quiet about the things that matter. Avital opens up about shidduchim, the ancestral weight of truth-telling, and what it costs to be the person in the room who says what everyone else is thinking.
