Thanks for the memories listeners—we wish you a Chag Shavuot Sameach (Happy Shavuot!) and hope that you’ll enjoy traveling down memory lane (as we come down Mt. Sinai together) as Amanda, Gabe, and Edon speak from the heart about this meaningful podcasting passion project.

What do we do when we start a new book that feels so far away from the Judaism that we practice now? Spiritual leader, educator and Amanda’s HHD guide Cantor Harriet Dunkerley explains that so many of the values of our sacrifices are practiced in meaningful ways now (thankfully, with less blood!). We discuss what we need to sacrifice to draw closer to others and to ourselves, finding the essential qualities that we all hold inside of every one of us, and how music can bring us to a higher level of individual, communal, and spiritual excellence. We hope that you enjoy our special offering this week and that it brings you peace!

What do you get when you mix Judaism, music, and southern hospitality? An incredible episode with Jewish Americana rock star Joe Buchanan! Hear about opening doors wide for others, creating intentional communities, and finding how and when to best use our voices (and maybe when not to). We also welcome Agnes Barroll, third-year cantorial-student at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (and also one of our favorite friends and definitely Edon’s favorite partner).

#1 Thing You Didn’t Know About Tzav: It’s the portion shared by the coolest B’ Mitzvah humans. Or at least that’s what Rabbi Michael Marmur and cohost Gabe Snyder have in common. Hear more about the fire that sparks within us and how to avoid being burnt out in this incredible parashah read this year on Shabbat ha-Gadol. We also welcome our first Canadian Q&A friend, Josh Satok, Senior Planning Executive for Jewish Life at UJA Federation of New York.

We also enthusiastically welcome Jackson Vance Mercer, fifth-year rabbinical student at Hebrew College (and epic musician!).

If “you may need to be in chavrutah with Torah,” we are so lucky to have such a chavruta (study partner) as Rabbah Yaffa Epstein to walk us through the leadership lessons in Ki Tisa this week as she ties it into hitting the pandemic wall, looking for solutions, and creating community with the best of intentions. We also welcome Tyler Dratch, fifth-year rabbinical student at Hebrew College (and overall mensch!).

It may have taken an architecture student to help us understand the intricacies of creating the Tabernacle, but Isaac de Castro did so much more than that as he ties it into the design elements needed to create a strong and inclusive community. Looking to hear more from the head of Jewish on Campus and Jewish Identity Crisis? Look no further! We also welcome Elan Karoll, a pro-Israel activist who is by far our most hyped Q&A fan.
