The Jewish Divorce Project Podcast Noam Raucher & Leeron Tal

Noam and Leeron catch up about mother’s day moments this year.Like about how tough and good it felt for Leeron to share mother’s day with her kid’s step-mom. How was mother’s day for you? We are also joined by Ginger Gentile. NOTE last name pronounced GEN-TEAL, to talk about parental alienation and how to heal from it.

In episode 82 we speak with and learn a lot from Rabbi Ari Saks. Rabbi Saks talks to us about the cultural myths that couples face in their interfaith relationships. Particularly that interfaith relationships will inevitably lead to divorce and separation.  We ask the question if interfaith relationships mean it’s MORE likely or LESS likely for a couple to divorce? Rabbi Saks challenges that idea by teaching that differences can actually lead to a deeper relationship rather than division.

In Episode 81 Noam and Leeron discuss Passover nad how you elebrate a holiday even if you don’t have your kids. We also talk with Andrea Hipps a certified divorce coach and how to make your former partner irrelevant by moving beyond forgiveness to even forgetfulness. We  talk about why it is important, and share a few steps that help listeners make their way to the promised land.

This week Noam and Leeron tackle a interesting topic: Open marriages. We sit down with ”Cindy” who talks to us about her open marriage to ”Jim” (We love 90210!). We protect Cindy’s identity not because there is anything to be ashamed of with an open marriage. But because we’re all entitled to some privacy in life, and there are those who also judgmental of open relationships. Nonetheless, we have a fascinating conversation about: dating, cucking, unicorns, ethical-non-monogamy, and polyamory. Most importantly we discuss how an open marriage can have amazing benefits for you and your spouse- including an improved sex life!

Note: At the beginning of the episode we mislabel it ”episode 80.” We’re almost there, but really, this is episode 79.

And in ep 79 Noam and Leeron sit down with Sharon Pope. Sharon is a certified Master Life Coach and Relationship Expert helping women and men get the tools they need to improve, heal, or release their struggling marriages.

No guest this week. But Instead we talk about gradually letting go of old possessions that remind us of our marriage and past lives; and good reasons to stay or leave your marriage. In the process of the conversation Leeron mentions her strategy for helping one of her clients move on when his marriage has failed: Jumbo’s Clown Room.
