Sara Braun: Embracing My Identity - A Black Jew's Story of Becoming Hasidic


Listen Later

Sara grew up in a small village in the Netherlands where her dark skin made her different from the people around her. Her family practiced Hasidic Judaism, but because her mother was darker than the rest of the family, she faced discrimination and didn't practice the religion. Sara always felt a strong desire to connect with her Jewish roots. After a trip to New York City, Sara decided to move there to pursue her dream of intertwining her body, soul, and mind with Judaism. She arrived with only $400 and a determination to create the life she wanted.

 

Sara's story is an example of how we can take control of our lives and pursue our dreams, despite the obstacles we may face. We had an inspiring conversation about resilience and passion that hopefully encourages you to become your true self and pursue your dreams relentlessly.

The Bible is every bit America’s moral founding document as the Constitution is our political founding document. 

 

Every week, Rabbi Dr. Ari Lamm, speaks with thinkers, writers, artists, and faith leaders to explore how the Bible continues to inform our lives today, from politics to psychology to pop culture, bringing Americans of different traditions and persuasions closer together as so much else threatens to pull us apart.
