Speakers: Delphine Horvilleur, Philippe Sands.
With no female word for rabbi existing in French, when Delphine Horvilleur, the third woman to take the role in France, is mentioned in the media – which is often due to her strong feminist stance on social justice issues – they simply call her Madame Le Rabbin. One of the leaders of the Mouvement Juif Libéral de France, her latest book Anti-Semitism Revisited: How the Rabbis Made Sense of Hatred is an engaging, hopeful and very original examination of resilience in the face of adversity and the legacy of an ancient hatred that is often misunderstood. She joins us in conversation with The Ratlines author Philippe Sands.
