S2Ep10: Bo and B’Shallach

As Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend draws to a close, Jenna reflects on the admonishment by our Jewish sages that we reflect on our people’s Exodus from slavery in Egypt not just once a year, but every day.  What does the Torah say a free society looks like, and what role are we commanded to play in building it?

S2Ep9: MLK Weekend, White Privilege, and the Exodus - Parshat Va'eira

As we start the book of Shemot--the Book of Exodus--Jenna looks at the misogyny in present-day America and how it is and is not like the structural misogyny present in the Torah and the history of Jewish intellectual thought.  In her reading of Parshat Shemot, she studies the unsung heroes of the Exodus: Shifrah and Puah, the Hebrew midwives; Pharaoh’s Daughter, and Zipporah, Moses’s wife.

S2Ep8: Let My Women Speak

Nineteen years ago last Shabbat, Jenna had her Bat Mitzvah, which is crazy.  In anticipation of starting the Book of Shemot this Shabbat, she wraps up last week’s parshah, and the book of Bereshit.

S2Ep7: Trump’s Israeli Train Station, My Bat Mitzvah, and Substance Over Style

Jenna gives a special shout-out to all Jews who have family celebrating Christmas and honors the memory of her late Catholic great-aunt.  Jenna also spits fire at Jared Kushner and the idiocy of moving the American embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.  The Torah portion from this past Shabbat offers some good tips on how to reconcile after a family feud.
