As we posted last week, Wise School alumna Leila Soleimani celebrated becoming Bat Mitzvah in Israel at Kotel with her family. Leila, her parents Sepi and Shahram, and URJ President Rabbi Rick Jacobs were all interviewed for this segment on Mako — and all spoke beautifully about the importance of pluralism and egalitarian space at the Wall. Mazal Tov to Leila and the Soleimani family and Yasher Koach on your important, resonant words!

View the segment here or on Mako’s website. Note: it is in both Hebrew and English.
