The forces that’ve kept me from Judaism, including interfaith marriage and anti-semitism, are not unique to my family. But they have uniquely kept me from being Jewish.

In this episode, I try to learn where Judaism was lost in my family, and why it might be more difficult than expected to reclaim my heritage.

This episode is about what it means to be lost and found, and who’s considered Jewish by law.

Learn more about Rabbi Lisa Rubin, Rabbi Liz P.G. Hirsch, and Rabbi Mark Washofsky.
