The Rabbis are back - subscribe and tune in from 21st October!

Join us for the finale of series one of Rabbiting on, as we look back together over a truly remarkable year.

Anne Frank's diary was first published in English, this week, 70 years ago in 1952. Today, the book is one of the most famous in the world and the ideas that its author proposes inspire empathy, joy, and hope and speak truth of the human condition. While Rabbi Debbie is away on the March of the Living in Poland, Chief Executive of the Anne Frank Trust, Tim Robertson, joins the show to discuss a book that serves both as a bedrock of Holocaust education and to fight contemporary prejudice in all its forms.

We are what we eat and the foods we choose at Passover remind us of those facing war and oppression while offering insight into our family dynamics and even our identity as a people. As family traditions are passed down through the generations, what action will your seder table inspire this Pesach?

What's the connection between a jar of marmalade and the dynamics of community, the difference between equality and equity, the power of music and idolatry of industrialisation? Our Rabbis and Cantors each bring a unique gift to the world. On this week's show they share these passions with the Rabbiting On audience from their annual conference Kallah. 

The Purim story is one of power, subversion, and ultimately survival but who is the real feminist hero and is all this fact, folklore or just plain old drag? Combine activism with humour and you have a force for change on your hands. And possibly a wig on your head. Happy Purim from all of us at Rabbiting On.

For International Women's Day 2022, Rabbi Jackie Tabick, the UK's first ordained women rabbi, shares memories of the early days of her career and the things people say and do to women rabbis, reminding us how far we've come and how far we are yet to go.

This Rabbiting Re-Run is from July 2021 when Rabbi Robyn interviewed her husband Anthony about his early experiences of being in a youth movement.

Like so many of those who grew up in Jewish Youth Movements, the skills and experiences Anthony learnt through youth leadership set a course for success in his professional career.

This episode of Rabbiting On explores the beauty of friendship, responsibility and a powerful connection to Jewish identity.

What are the joys and occupational hazards of being a rabbi? Whether in synagogue, on the school-run, on holiday, or just on the sofa, being a rabbi means bringing your whole self to the job every day of the week.

What do we need to grow, what brings us down and what builds us back up? After a week in which we celebrated TuBishvat, we also stand in solidarity with Congregation Beth Israel in Texas. This week the rabbis discuss personal growth, the power of eulogies and how they would like to be remembered.
