Dear Estee Rieder Indursky,

I am writing to express my appreciation and gratitude for your guest lecture on women, religion, and politics in my course on gender, leadership, and action in nonprofit organizations at the MA program in non-profit management at the Rothberg International school at Hebrew University.

Your lecture was one of the highlights of the course and served to enlighten and educate the students – who come from all over the world – on ultra-orthodox feminism and women’s political exclusion. Your powerful presentation skills – even on Zoom – and your extensive knowledge on the topic – both theoretical and practical – really helped the students connect with the topic and deepen their understanding of it. They appreciated the opportunity to meet with such a well-versed and passionate scholar.

On a more personal note, I have heard you present numerous times, to different audiences, and each time I learned new things and found your passion to be utterly contagious, in the most positive sense of the word. This passion, combined with your powerful analytical capacities and storytelling skills, turn every presentation you make into a deep and meaningful learning experience.

I would love to invite you to give a guest lecture in my course in the spring semester and would highly recommend any organization or scholar interested in ultra-orthodox feminism and women’s political participation to invite you as a speaker!  

With deep appreciation,
