ReRooting

Over concern for their safety due to the recent conflict and the major uptick in antisemitism globally, this will be the last episode of ReRooting. For now. Rebelle discusses the week and their experiences of growing up and living in an antisemitic world amidst trying to figure out what to do to ensure this reality stops playing out. Thank you to all the listeners and loved ones who have been on this road with me and hopefully we will meet again.

Rebelle looks back at the past year and at some childhood memories that have floated to the surface.

At an ungodly hour, Rebelle briefly touches on some aspects of how body image issues have cropped up in their life and reflects on what routes they began taking to learn more about how they felt about themselves.

Rebelle has a rough day with a surprising ending.

Rebelle talks about experiencing Gibraltar for the first time

Rebelle briefly talks about pre-travel freakouts before they head to Gibraltar, but mostly focuses on the enormous presence of Hawaii on their life in the wake of the wildfire on The Big Island and the community of Lahaina in Maui.
