    A Holy Shekhinah for Our Times with Joy Ladin

    On the first episode of 2025, I'm joined by repeat guest Joy Ladin.  Joy is a widely published essayist and poet, literary scholar, and nationally known speaker on transgender issues. From 2003 to 2021, she held the David and Ruth Gotsman Chair in English at Stern College for Women of Yeshiva University. Her gender transition and return to teaching in 2008 made her the first openly transgender employee of an Orthodox Jewish institution.

She's published several other books, including, most recently, a new book of poetry, Family, and Once Out of Nature, selected essays on the transformation of gender. And she is the recipient of the National Jewish Book Award for The Book of Anna. On this episode, we riff about: The concept of family, at both the individual and national levelsHow our personal narratives help us make meaning in our daily livesHow Joy's understanding of the Shekhinah, the indwelling presence of God typically gendered as female, has shifted since our first conversation in 2023The role of gender binaries in helping us relate to divinity Joy's perspective on the historical need for a transcendent God, and how both Jesus and the Shekhinah were responses to His limitationsWhat the Shekhinah can offer us in this particular moment in time Notes about this episode: You can learn more about Joy and all her work at https://joyladin.com/You can watch mine and Joy's first conversation here: https://youtu.be/XYi7LUiNHJ4You can also listen to this episode here: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/e1b56ad3-b881-458e-a9e3-e9fb1635760c And here are a few more details about this show and my work: If you’d like to know whose ancestral tribal lands you currently reside on, you can look up your address here: https://native-land.ca/You can also visit the Coalition of Natives and Allies for more helpful educational resources about Indigenous rights and history.Please – if you love this podcast and/or have read my book, please consider leaving me a review, and thank you for supporting my work!For more Sacred Feminine goodness and to stay up to date on all episodes, please follow me on Instagram: @hometoher.
