As a visionary of a new, more tolerant community, she has worked for change through organizing and fundraising for women's and Jewish causes, serving on many boards of directors, awarding grants through the Dobkin Family Foundation, and creating Ma'yan.

The interviews provide examples of how Jewish culture can frame expectations and accomplishments. The interviews also include discussions of body image, power dynamics, philanthropy, feminism, family, sexuality, and community organizing.
