April 29, 2025 Dani Shapiro – From Secrecy to Self-Understanding
A conversation about the nature of truth, identity, and the detours that unexpectedly lead us home.
This episode welcomes bestselling author and host of the podcast Family Secrets, Dani Shapiro.
Dani and Rabbi David explore how Dani's mid-life discovery that her beloved father was not her biological parent reshaped her world, brought clarity to a lifelong sense of disconnection, and inspired her prolific creativity. With honesty and depth, Dani reflects on the power of secrets, the concept of the “unthought known,” and the healing that comes from facing the truth.

April 21, 2025Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie – From Rebellion to Rabbinate
In the premiere episode of Detours and Destinations, Rabbi David Ingber talks with Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie, the visionary spiritual leader and founder of LabShul, and the subject of the documentary Sabbath Queen about the journey from a lineage of a 38-generation esteemed rabbinic dynasty, to becoming a drag performer, radical storyteller, and groundbreaking rabbi. Amichai’s life has been a bold negotiation between tradition and transformation. His journey is one of self-discovery, rebellion, and ultimately, reinvention.
