Elianna and Tova discuss this important holiday and all that it brings up. This episode also has some great tips on ways to make the seder feel as welcoming and creative as possible. 

Join Tova and Elianna for a wide ranging conversation with colleague and friend Rabbi Sari Laufer. 

There is a great deal of change happening in the jewish world between congregations in search of rabbis, major jewish establishments selling their property and everything in between. We discuss the deconstruction and reconstruction of this Jewish institutional life and the possibilities of the moment. 

Using the beautiful song from Encanto, Surface Pressure, Tova and Elianna wonder how do we manage the demands of modernity? Society asks us to juggle so much and seek out perfection in every aspect of who we are -- what do we loose as a consequence and how do Tova and Elianna experience this tension and try to create space for more joy and less pressure.
