Podcast de On Wandering

Jews are culturally, religiously, politically, and ethnically unique yet diverse. This podcast aims to explore all of the intricacies and intersectionalities that come with being Jewish. Sometimes we go broad and sometimes we go deep, sometimes it's heavy and sometimes it's light, but it's always eye-opening. Episodes include conversations with academics, scientists, artists, creatives, people who all bring a different lens to the question, “what does it mean to be Jewish in the 21st century?” Whether you're someone who grew up Jewish, Jew-ish, or you joined us by family or by choice, or if you're someone who's just curious, you are welcome here.

    Ashkenazi Herbalism with Deatra Cohen and Adam Siegel

    Deatra Cohen and Adam Siegel have explored the world of Jewish medicinal plant healers within the communities of the Pale of Settlement in Eastern Europe, and written a book to share their findings. As trained librarians and linguists, Deatra and Adam were uniquely suited to uncover these practices that lasted from the Middle Ages to the Modern Era, hidden by language barriers and obscure documents. The book is eye-opening and includes the first materia medica of 26 plants and herbs essential to Ashkenazi folk medicine. In this interview, Deatra and Adam discuss their research process, the legacy of Ashkenazi herbalism, and how their experiences as Jews interacted with their work.

    Transcending Jewish Trauma with Jo Kent Katz

    We dig into a topic that has come up in many of the conversations on this podcast: intergenerational trauma. The study of this phenomenon is relatively new, but it’s resonated with many Jews whose ancestors’ survived violence and persecution. To take a closer look at this, Clarissa talks to Jo Kent Katz, a Therapist, Ritualist, and Political Educator. In 2020, Jo launched a website called “Transcending Jewish Trauma” to help Jews unpack and heal from inherited unconscious beliefs and behaviors associated with ancestral trauma. Included on the website is a map that explores the many manifestations of collective trauma experienced by Ashkenazi Jews living in the US.
