Aliza has spent her life searching for all answers

THE main purpose of Pesach for women is not to clean the house, nor to eat matzo, but to tell their mothers’ stories, according to Orthodox feminist and former Israeli politician Dr Aliza Lavie.

Aliza has just published her fifth book, Iconic Jewish Women - Fifty-Nine Inspiring, Courageous, Revolutionary Role Models for Young Girls.

But the Pesach haggada is not just full of stories, it is also replete with questions.

And, in the spirit of Pesach, asking questions is something Aliza has been doing all her life.

She is no militant feminist who goes on demonstrations making her demands heard.
