Rabbi Gabi Arad joins Sara this week to talk intentional community innovation and how our Jewish communities can thrive online during this difficult time. Gabi is a rabbi cantor and co-founder of the Jewish Collaborative of San Diego.

Miriam Steinberg-Egeth joins us this week to talk boundaries as a Jewish professional. She discusses her professional versus personal presence in the community, how a patchwork of part-time Jewish work may be her ultimate goal, and how working from home has evolved over the past few months in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This week we chat with Caroline Kessler, Ava Rosen, and Arielle Tonkin, three Bay Area artists and Jewish leaders. We discuss the intersections of their art and their Judaism, time as a secular and a religious concept, and the ideas of "exercising leadership" and of leading by creating opportunities.
