Human & Holy Tonia Chazanow

Join us for an evening with five women from different backgrounds, gathering to approach the holiday of freedom with a sense of wonder and exploration. We discuss the different voices that we reckon with in our Judaism, our experiences around sensitive mitzvos that are part of our daily lives, talk about the steps of the Seder, play a game, eat, and share poetry.

Next week, we're dropping a video episode (for the first time!) on Youtube and Spotify that I can only describe as a farbrengen reimagined. In anticipation, I shared some thoughts about the underrated benefits of getting together with other women to give voice to our souls.

A conversation about the relationship between joy and humility in our lives, and the way an understanding of G-d's presence in our lives can bring us to true joy. || To sponsor an episode of Human & Holy, visit humanandholy.com/sponsor or email us at info@humanandholy.com.

A candid conversation about how to figure out where your soul is needed to fulfill its purpose, getting more specific about our gifts so we can deepen our contributions to the world, the teachings from the Lubavitcher Rebbe that have helped Mushka navigate her anxiety and more. || To sponsor an episode of Human & Holy, visit humanandholy.com/sponsor or email us at info@humanandholy.com.

A solo episode on all the ways we withdraw from our Judaism because we have internalized a self perception that tells us we are not religious enough, chassidish enough, consistent enough, or authentic enough to be let past the gate.
