Too often, we only turn to God when we’re struggling—crying out for help in moments of pain, fear, or confusion. But what about when things are going well? In this episode of A Jew Like Me, we explore why it's just as important to praise God in our seasons of success. Our blessings are not accidents; they are divine gifts. Let’s talk about giving thanks, staying grounded, and remembering the Source of it all, even when life feels easy.

🕍 In this episode of A Jew Like Me, we take a deep dive into Jeremiah 7—a powerful and often uncomfortable chapter that challenges us to examine where our loyalties truly lie.

Are we genuinely honoring God, or have we unknowingly replaced obedience with rituals, habits, politics, careers, and even government? What does idolatry look like today, and how can even the most sincere people fall into it?

Join me as we unpack the prophet’s warning to ancient Judah and explore how it still speaks to us today. It’s not just about avoiding carved images—it’s about aligning our lives with what God actually wants, not what’s convenient or traditional.

🕯️ A heartfelt and thought-provoking conversation for anyone seeking a deeper, more authentic walk with the Creator.

Do you just believe in God - or do you actually believe God? God commands us to love Him with all of our heart, all our being, and all of our might. Understanding the difference between simply believing in God versus truly trusting and believing God, is a distinction that will help us accomplish this important commandment.

As Jews of Color, where can we feel safe? After experiencing an act of racial aggression and profiling with my family - I am now forced to ask this question and recognize the deep trauma it causes. Racial profiling is an act of violence. How do we protect our children, our family, and ourselves from racism and antisemitism?

Let's discuss what the Tanakh says about who is a Jew and how do you convert to Judaism according to Torah. We'll also talk about how every Jew eventually becomes a Jew by Choice, even if born into a Jewish family.
