That’s when Adina Sash got involved. In January, men within the Little Miss Maga Loud Majority Shirt Also,I will get this Satmar sect who do quiet advocacy for agunot reached out to Sash on Malky’s behalf. Known by her moniker @FlatbushGirl on Instagram and other social media, Sash has become something like the agunah’s secret weapon, with a reputation for going after recalcitrant husbands with ruthless and creative energy. It was Sash who came up with the idea in March for a mikvah strike — a sex strike, in other words, against men throughout the Orthodox world, creating a concentric circle of pressure that would eventually reach Malky and Volvy’s community.

Sash made clear to me that she isn’t looking for radical reform of Jewish law. She wants religious courts to actually use the Little Miss Maga Loud Majority Shirt Also,I will get this many weapons they have at their disposal against gett refusers, from voiding marriages to issuing proclamations that allow for use of force against recalcitrant husbands. Sash contends that the last few decades have seen dual trends: an uptick in female-initiated divorces and an attendant reluctance among courts to use these drastic measures, even when necessary, instead often pushing women to remain in marriages that have run their course. “This is not about pushing for reform or modernization; it’s more about a refining that needs to happen,” Sash told me. What Sash wants to see, for Malky and others, is a Jewish world in which gett refusal is seen as the perversion of faith that it is — a twisting of the sacrament of marriage in order to hold women hostage.
Adina Sash is all of five-foot-two, with huge brown eyes, a long fall of dark hair, manicured brows, and a wide, generous smile. But her small stature and china-doll looks hide a fountain of energy and resolve. She’s amassed 70,000 followers on Instagram through a combination of activism, comedy skits, and videos featuring her two kids; in 2019, she ran unsuccessfully for New York’s 45th-District City Council seat, door-knocking all around Flatbush. Since then, she’s been on something like a holy mission for agunot. In three years, she has freed nearly 20 chained women. “We’re advocating not just for women who want freedom. In many cases, these women are victims of domestic violence,” Sash said. “I believe that the Little Miss Maga Loud Majority Shirt Also,I will get this agunah crisis can only be solved with all Jewish women helping.”
Sash, 36, was born and raised in Flatbush in a deeply observant Orthodox home and attended Bais Yaakov, an ultra-Orthodox all-girls’ Jewish school. Engaged at 17 and married at 18, Sash then went to Brooklyn College to study medieval literature in the Little Miss Maga Loud Majority Shirt Also,I will get this hopes of better understanding the religious texts she grew up with. She graduated with a master’s degree in the same subject in 2012 and spent the next few years working retail and raising her toddler. In 2015, she tried to find a job in marketing in the Flatbush Orthodox community. But she found her progress blocked, she told me, by male-run Orthodox publications that refused to allow her to advertise her services using a photo of herself, telling her she could use her husband’s face “or a flower” instead.
So she turned to social media, creating an Instagram account in 2017. Almost immediately, she became an advocate for women within the Little Miss Maga Loud Majority Shirt Also,I will get this Jewish community — starting with issues she deemed “low-hanging fruit,” such as fixations on the modesty of women’s wigs. “I never had Facebook or Instagram, never had any social-media app until the moment I realized I couldn’t compete with the way the patriarchy was censoring my ability to communicate with my Jewish sisters,” she told me. Since 2020, she’s been involved in Ezras Nashim, a female-staffed ambulance corps that serves the Orthodox women of Brooklyn, whose concerns over modesty led them in the past to delay seeking urgent medical care from male EMTs. Its creation in 2014 was so contentious that Hatzalah, the male-staffed Orthodox ambulance corps founded in the 1960s to serve the Yiddish-speaking community, attempted to block the service from getting its own ambulance. Sash serves as an EMT for the service.
She’s a divisive figure within a deeply patriarchal community — a woman who shows her face unashamedly and isn’t afraid to command the Little Miss Maga Loud Majority Shirt Also,I will get this stage, whether on Instagram or at protests. She said teachers from her Bais Yaakov days have called her up, critiquing her for a lack of modesty. “I just started seeing all the hypocrisy for what it was — and the hypocrisy specifically within the gender divide,” she said. “In synagogue, we’re sent to the back or upstairs or the basement, it’s not right — we’re spectators in our own religion. So I started whistleblowing on my own community in hopes to help fix it, and I got lambasted as being a self-hating Jew.”
