The core of being human is to be seen and to belong. Names give us that identity but naming people and things comes so naturally, do we ever stop to think about the power of it? Now's your chance for that and to find out why the rabbis have the names they do. And what they were nearly called but weren't. So join them in saying 'Hineni' - Here I Am!

We're off-air after today for a little while, but go back, binge a few of our past eps, and we'll see you again soon.

You can contact the show by following us on Instagram; @rabbiting_on_podcast or by sending an email to; [email protected].

Until next time!

Nothing to see here. If you want the goss, you're gonna have to listen to the ep.

Is Artificial Intelligence truly artificial if it's reflecting back to us our own human experiences? Is it funny, trustworthy or creative? The rabbis welcome a new guest from another dimension.

In their last episode, rabbis Debbie, Miriam and Robyn discussed their differences when it comes to Israel. 

In this episode,  hear what followed when they met with Magen, an Israeli, and Hamze, a Palestinian, who, despite having lived through immeasurable personal tragedy, are working to give their children a better future.

They believe peace can be possible if we are prepared to move forward together.

Hear their wishes for the future and what practical steps we can all take towards peace.

What happens when rabbis sit together and talk about Israel & Palestine without the burden of feeling they are having to be a voice that’s representing an institution?

Here's how to have that conversation, so join in as they really listen to each other through their authentic struggles and legitimate disagreements.

Join us again in the next ep to hear from those who have lived through the war to hear first hand the devastation from the perspective of both an Israeli and a Palestinian.

If nothing else is sure in life, you can be certain that change at some point will come for us all. After 18 years in her job, Rabbi Miriam is heading for something new and as the rabbis reveal how Jewish ritual is the ultimate guide to change-management they reflect on how good endings make for a strong start.

When faced with a difficult conversation, what better way to deflect than to talk about what you had for breakfast? In this final conversation in the current series, the rabbis discuss why it is so hard to talk about Israel and its complex democracy. And they take up the challenge of doing so, at a time when Israelis all over the world are protesting in the streets in defiance of the new ultra-right wing coalition that threatens the beating heart of their democracy.

At every moment in Judaism we time travel because we're living between the world as it was and the world as it is. Yet, every year on the 14th of Adar, Purim turns everything on its head...
