Welcome to today's episode, where we dive into inspiring stories of leadership and global change! I'm thrilled to be joined by Ruth Messinger, a lifelong New Yorker whose decades-long career has shaped social justice and public service. From serving as Manhattan Borough President (1990–1997), championing affordable housing and education, to running as the 1997 Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor, Ruth has been a trailblazer. As president of the American Jewish World Service (1998–2016), she transformed it into a global force for human rights, fighting poverty and injustice in over 30 countries. Ruth also talks about her endorsement of Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City, Doran Mamadani. Guided by her Jewish value of chesed (kindness), Ruth continues to mentor activists and advocate for gender equality and global justice. Named one of the “10 most inspiring women religious leaders” by The Huffington Post in 2012, Ruth’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. Ps. You'll also have the chance to see Ruth hanging out with her great-grandson! Very Cute! What You’ll Discover in This Episode:
