Women Rabbis Talk – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Even saying the word "Israel" hurts right now. So we're extra proud to be sharing (a bit belatedly) this interview with Israeli rabbi Maya Leibovich (please note: it was conducted prior to Oct. 7th). Emma and Marci also share their thoughts and reflections one month after Oct. 7th, and we've shared some of our most recommended Israel-related resources in the show-notes on our website.

Am Yisrael Chai and may all the world soon know peace. #bringthemhomeNOW

In our latest episode, Rabbi Emma Gottlieb and Rabbi Marci Bellows welcome guest Rabbi Cantor Raina Siroty (yes, she was actually fully ordained with both titles! Whoa!). Raina talks with us about the true Mitzvah of Foster Care as well as adoption of children in need of families. She is a superstar of a clergy person and a mom, and we really enjoyed talking with her. Bonus: she ends the episode by blessing ALL of us.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/womenrabbispodcast/support
