    "But I have been working for a long time at a temple in Manhattan beach with children, teaching art. My background and knowledge of everything traditionally biblical and Jewish education wise is very, very weak."

With her father, who ended up investing $50,000. My very first investment."

    "A friend recently shared with me that the night before his wedding, his family suffered a death in the family. And when he asked the rabbi about canceling the wedding for the funeral, the rabbi said, in Judaism, we put the simcha, the celebration, first. And so they had the wedding followed a few days later by the funeral. And I live in la, and over the past week, I have just witnessed devastation and heartbreak and loss and confusion and struggle."

    "So I love this organization and I first started working for this organization during it was like a church volunteer serve day type of thing. One of my friends churches had a serve day and our job was to come down there to the lisabies and make sandwiches. And so we did. One of my friends started volunteering there regularly and she reached out to me one day and she said, tanya, they really need some help on Friday. Can you help them on Friday? They don't have anybody staffed."

    "And if I looked at that through the lens of holiness, it is the spirit working through them to make the world a better place. It's such a beautiful practice. I want to get better at it. And I know my life would be much, much more exciting and new and holy if I invited this kind of sightseeing in. It's really a beautiful thought."

  • @DBPardes | An experience of loneliness…
    Click here to reply to @DBPardes

    "But I. I didn't want to be a needy person, and I didn't want to present myself to new people as a sad person or a lonely person, because then they see me as that. So I felt in this moment, just nowhere out, no way out, no way to navigate to the next moment. But of course, I had a resilience that was in my spirit, for sure."

    "But I had this idea, and it was going along without money for a while, but I knew I needed to cash in somehow and figure out a way to pay for my costs and reimburse myself and grow and expand and of more service to the people I was working with, which were adults who had low level reading skills. And when the first grant came in, I remember this specific hug I got from Tim Spicer, who is my board president, who unfortunately died a few years later, tragically."

    "And it was such an incredible experience, specifically holding an environment safe and chill for people who were feeling neither. One particular woman came in with her six month old son and she was struggling to hold him while she was looking for clothing. And I said, can I hold your son and help you? And she was so grateful. And his name was Levi and here's a picture of me holding him right now."

  • @DBPardes | That true sense of belonging…
    Click here to reply to @DBPardes

    "The idea of belonging has always been a little prickly for me. Because I always felt like an outsider, even in my family. I was the youngest, and they were very connected to, ironically, religion specifically. They davened in a way that was so connected. And I always felt disconnected. And I always felt a little judgy of myself more than anything else. But I mostly felt like I didn't belong in the family."

    "I'm just curious because I know this kind of book just is very cross cultural in so many ways. It's from the roots of your rabbinical studies and your experience as a woman who's Jewish. But so many of the lessons that I read in it and the messages are so universal. How has it been received by other kinds of communities and what are the efforts that you know that are have been taken and will continue to be a part of?"
