A small group of Jewish teenage girls in Chicago believes in a promised land.
“When it came to rape culture, a lot of my students had never heard that term,” says Stephanie Goldfarb, director of youth philanthropy and leadership at the JUF and the director of RTI. “But we would ask, ‘What’s keeping you up at night?,’ and they were describing what rape culture is without knowing there was vocabulary for it.”
“It was a really good example of how these individual aspects of rape culture were happening right in front of our eyes,” she continues. “It was the first time I’d learned about something that I’d never heard before but observed so many times before. Having the more academic language was helpful for me to be able to digest it.”
“The Revenge of Dinah” is available to download for free on the JUF’s website, and the girls hope people will use it in their seders this weekend.
