episode My Annual Apology - 5786 artwork

My Annual Apology - 5786

I probably made a bunch of people upset years and years ago - but I can't remember all the details. (There's a reason you're supposed to apologize as soon as you mess up.) Between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, Jews are called to do an honest accounting of our souls, and to make amends where we can. In this episode, I'll explain that a little more, and why MY apology, however imperfect, is pretty necessary right now.  Links:  Today is not yesterday - https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1612482/jewish/Today-Is-Not-Yesterday.htm [https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1612482/jewish/Today-Is-Not-Yesterday.htm] Gam Zeh Yaavor - https://www.ansheamunim.org/gam_zeh_yaavor Cheshbon haNefesh https://mussarinstitute.org/cheshbon-hanefesh-3/ [https://mussarinstitute.org/cheshbon-hanefesh-3/] Detours and Destinations Podcast https://www.92ny.org/archives/featured-series/detours-and-destinations [https://www.92ny.org/archives/featured-series/detours-and-destinations] Epsiode with Rabbi Shira https://www.92ny.org/archives/detours-destinations-rabbi-shira-stutman [https://www.92ny.org/archives/detours-destinations-rabbi-shira-stutman] Rabbi Shira’s podcast https://chutzpod.com/ [https://chutzpod.com/] Don't forget - you can reach me (Rabbi LeighAnn) any time at www.yourohiorabbi.com or everyonesfavoriterabbi.com or rabbileighann.com !

031 - Your Jewish Household

031 - "Do You Plan to Have a Jewish Household?" (Finding a Rabbi Series) It’s one of the most common questions a rabbi may ask a couple before deciding that he or she is the right fit for the couple’s wedding. If a rabbi asked you this question, do you know how you would answer? Does it conjure feelings of fear, confusion, and dread? Don’t worry. I’m here to help.

030 - Tenaim (Where Moms Break a Plate)

You know about breaking the glass, but what about breaking a PLATE? Welcome to the first LISTENER QUESTION episode of the Your Jewish Wedding Podcast, where I answer Olivia’s question: “I was wondering if you could explain the breaking of the plates by the mothers?” Yes! There is a Jewish custom where the mothers of the people getting married break a plate to “Seal the deal.” (Watch a short video of a plate-breaking I facilitated here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p9wGz9E92s2LajZY8LAPj07MTcblOiJN/view?usp=drive_link [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p9wGz9E92s2LajZY8LAPj07MTcblOiJN/view?usp=drive_link]) As with anything to do with Jewish Weddings, there are many explanations for this custom and different ways to do it. It is connected to what was traditionally an engagement agreement called a tenaim.  So, obviously, we need to learn about that first. Show Notes are below.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
