Hello from Amagansett! I was lucky enough to come here on my own for a few days. The house I’m staying in faces the ocean and I couldn’t be happier. I’m taking some time here to walk on the beach, rest, process and take care of myself. And that includes this update for all of you! Please reach out about anything I’ve shared. I’d love to hear from our listeners! My dad and I will be back with another episode soon. Thank you and G-d bless you!

We’re back with some Omer content. What is the Omer? What does it give us? How does it relate to our daily life? We answer these questions and more in another thought provoking episode. Briyah forgot to mention the generous woman who held her in the bathroom while she cried during the intermission of “Merrily We Roll Along” on Broadway. Thank you Laura, for your kindness. That show brought up a lot of feelings.

Briyah and Reb Michael are back to wish everyone a peaceful Passover holiday. We talk about what we’ve been up to (one of us went to a naked dinner party) and reflect on some parts of the Seder. We won’t be celebrating together this year, but hopefully we will reunite soon. We will be leaving an empty chair at our Seders to remember the hostages who cannot be with their families for yet another holiday. If you enjoy our podcast, please share, rate and review us. Chag sameach!

Briyah goes to Coogee Beach to talk to Judy Banki, a 96 year old who isn’t slowing down. They discuss Judy’s fascinating history that spans the globe from Flatbush to Israel, Budapest and the Hamptons. And now it includes Australia to visit her daughter and grandkids. What a privilege this interview was and Briyah hopes to see Judy back in NYC!

Briyah is in Sydney, Australia!! She talks to Michael about what it’s like to be back there after 7 years away.

Briyah is back with a solo episode. She’s procrastinating getting ready for her trip to the Bahamas tomorrow. She hasn’t been on a plane since March, so keep her in your thoughts as she embarks on another solo adventure! In this episode, she gives an update on what’s been going on in the Life Of Briyah (LOB).

My gorgeous friend Libby Malcolm joins me as this episode’s special guest. We met while I was studying abroad in Paris in 2005, and Libby is still there! We talk about our parallel life journeys and Libby reflects on raising her son in a culture very different from where she is from in Alabama. She has so much insight and hope as well as the most charming accent. I hope you enjoy this episode!

It’s just Briyah on this episode! A bit of a lighthearted one to send you off into the Thanksgiving long weekend. Michael is traveling and also, things have been awkward since the last episode when we threw some shade on the family. But you can’t please everyone! Much love and peace to everyone listening to our little podcast project. I pray my dad will join me once again.

Micha Odenheimer, a rabbi, journalist and social entrepreneur, joins the Paleys to talk about the recent terror attack in Israel. Based in Jerusalem, he offers a unique perspective on what it’s been like there. We hope you enjoy the thought provoking conversation.
