For the parent learning Judaism right alongside their b-mitzvah kid — usually while handing someone a snack.

In this episode, The Jewla dives into the Maḥlah archetype: the bold, brave spirit of a parent trying to keep up with the prayers, the paperwork, and the pubescent mood swings. Like Maḥlah — who stood before Moses and fought for her share — this archetype is all about claiming your piece of Jewish knowledge while your kid claims theirs.

You’ll learn why this stage is basically “spiritual parallel play,” how switching roles (letting your kid teach you) builds confidence on both sides, and why bragging about Torah homework at carpool is absolutely encouraged.

Perfect for: Newer b-mitzvah parents, Jewish returners, spiritual late bloomers, and anyone trying to google “chazarat hashatz” without crying.

Listen in and tag @theJewla with your Maḥlah moments — snacks optional, nachas guaranteed.
