Masih Alinejad in Conversation with Rabbi Tarlan Rabizadeh: Women’s Uprising in Iran

Hosted By: Maven

Since 2014, Masih Alinejad has published videos of Iranian women removing their head scarves. “The hijab is the tool the regime uses to control the women and, through them, Iranian society,” says Alinejad. Women across Iran are pulling off their hijabs, lighting them on fire and going to jail for it, or worse, paying the price for freedom with their lives. AJU’s Rabbi Tarlan Rabizadeh, a first-generation Persian American whose family fled Iran in the 70’s, joins in conversation with Masih Alinejad who is at the forefront of Iran’s most recent protests for an important conversation surrounding the future of women’s rights and the safety of Jews in Iran and in Israel.

Maven

In March of 2020, as the pandemic took hold of our local communities and safer-at-home orders were issued, American Jewish University shifted the delivery of our adult education and community programming to digital formats. Dedicated to providing Jewish learning to our communities, AJU understood the importance of showcasing original content that was not only easily accessible, but also fostered a sense of connection amidst the isolation that many faced.
