    Ep. 327 - Behar-Bechukotai with Miranda Bass

    WOW!!! This week, you’re hearing for the first time ever on our podcast Master of Sacred Music Gabe Snyder and RABBI Amanda K. Weiss! Woohoo! (Chazak chazak v’nitchazek!) We’re not done learning yet! We still have the extraordinary Miranda Bass who walks us through the significance of service (both to the Temple and to your country). Navigating the political landscape is never an easy adventure, but it’s worthwhile to use our values as a compass and our community as a guide. How we treat each other makes a huge difference to where we end up—even when it’s just finding a common ground when we stand in disagreement with one another. Oh right! And don’t forget…rest is radical and holy. (Also…#crimedoesntpay against people OR institutions).

    Ep. 326 - Emor with Rabbi Becky Jaye

    When we’re in the middle of counting the Omer (the time between Passover and Shavuot), it’s hard NOT to think about what counts—in our actions, our thoughts, and especially in our words. We were thrilled to welcome back (this time as featured guest!) Rabbi Becky Jaye, Program Manager for Emor: The Institute for Bold Jewish Thought (a project of T’ruah!). We discuss the importance of finding diverse ways to interpret Jewish texts (and practices), and how we might enable people to open up the space for all to share their thoughts safely and clearly. How might we pause when in conversation in an effort to really get to the core of someone else’s mindset? When we have meaningful and authentic discussions (say, like we do on this podcast), we are able to deeply hold each other in presence and relationships in beautiful and unexpected ways (even when it might be difficult).

    Ep. 324 - Tazria-Metzora with Samantha Klipstein

    Who doesn’t love a bargain? This week we’re getting an excellent guest to take on not one, but two parashiyot (well, at least a two-in-one because this week we have a double portion!). We are so thrilled to have Samantha Klipstein join us and walk us through what this week’s portion can look like through the lens of modern-day healthcare. How can we provide care and destigmatize diagnoses? How can we ensure that our medical providers are treated with honor and respect? How can we do it all without a sacrificial system? We know that this episode will be for all, for each according to their ability (hey that’s from this week’s portion!). Hebrew Terms Used in This Conversation: V’ahavta l’reiacha kamocha: Love your neighbor as yourself Kavod habriyot: Respect for all creation G’milut chasadim: Acts of loving-kindness Bikkur cholim: Visiting the sickness To continue the conversation: Samantha’s TikTok: @fatcharlidamelio Samantha’s Instagram: @samanthaklip Find us on social media: Facebook: Drinking and Drashing: Torah with a Twist Instagram: @DrinkingandDrashing Website: www.drinkinganddrashing.com Our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/xeeghhpSy3 Show the love with some Drinking and Drashing: Torah with a Twist merchandise at store.drinkinganddrashing.com, and don’t forget to subscribe and give us a rating on Apple Podcasts—it’s a great way to help our show grow!

    Ep. 323 - Sh'mini with Cantor Julie Yugend-Green

    What does it look like to treat those who die with dignity? How can Jewish leaders mourn for and alongside their communities while maintaining the sacred mantle of leadership? In this week’s episode, we were blessed to learn with and from Cantor Yugend-Green, the current Cantor of Oak Park Temple (a special place for Executive Producer, Edon Valdman!). We look at the role of the Chevra Kadisha, the special Jewish burial laws and practices, and what it means to maintain silence (or even what NOT to say) in the face of great adversity. Hebrew Terms Used in This Conversation: Chevra Kadisha: a burial society, literally “holy friend,” who prepare the deceased for burial Met/Metah: the deceased (m and f forms) Taharah: purifying the body for burial, pouring water Kavannah: intent “Vayidom Aharon”: And Aaron was silent (Lev. 10:3) Rosh: the head of the ritural M'chilah: a prayer asking for forgiveness (for inadvertent indignity caused by taharah) R'chitzah: gentle cleansing of the deceased Halbashah B’Tachrichim: dressing of the deceased in burial garments Tuma/tamei: impure, unclean or “vulnerable” Tahor: pure, clean, or “whole” “Baruch Dayan haEmet.”: “Blessed is the true Judge” “Hamakom Yenachem Etchem B’toch Sh’ar Avelei Tzion Viyrushalayim”: “May God comfort all of you among the rest of the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.” To continue the conversation: Cantor Julie Yugend-Green’s email: jygopt@comcast.net Past Episode on Death/Chevra Kadisha: Vayechi with Sarit Wishnevski: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/XiowZ3dwOyb Find us on social media: Facebook: Drinking and Drashing: Torah with a Twist Instagram: @DrinkingandDrashing Website: www.drinkinganddrashing.com Our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/xeeghhpSy3 Show the love with some Drinking and Drashing: Torah with a Twist merchandise at store.drinkinganddrashing.com, and don’t forget to subscribe and give us a rating on Apple Podcasts—it’s a great way to help our show grow!
