The Art/Lab Podcast: Conversations About Jewish Arts and Culture episodes
- Daniela Molnar: Crazy Fecund World - Poetry, Spirituality and Jewish Identity
Daniela Molnar is a friend, a graduate of the first Art/Lab cohort, an accomplished poet and artist, and a brainy Jew trying to figure out how to be a responsible human living a life of meaning. Enjoy the convo!
56 min - Eleyna Fugman: Marginalization, Inclusion, Synagogues & Small Communities
Eleyna Fugman is the co-Founder and Director of TischPDX in Portland, a leadership development organization whose mission is to "Bolster the Leadership of Young and Marginalized Jews in Portland, OR."
Eleyna and Rabbi Josh worked together back in 2016 in a Portland synagogue. In this conversation they reflect on the relationship between syagogues and the emerging Jewish world, the ways in which some younger Jews feel marginalized from such communities, what the Jewish future might hold, and more. Enjoy
59 min - 2 min
- Staying Off Script, Boring Services and Authenticity: Rabbi Gavriel Goldfeder
My friend Rabbi Gavriel Goldfeder constatly strives for authenticity and growth in his life. That makes him a great haver (friend) and a good conversational partner. We talk about why Jewish wisdom is so powerful and why services are so often boring, whether our lives are just scripts that we act out, and what Gavriel would do if he were appointed Emperor of the Jews. Enjoy!
44 min - Hope, Finding Truth, Quiet, and Zionisms: Moshe Rachmuth
Professor Moshe Rachmuth and Rabbi Josh discuss Rachmuth's wide-ranging interest, what keeps him hopeful in the face of terrible events, his research on Israeli singer Noa and her political work, finding truth in an era of political scream-fests, Zionism(s) and Judaism(s), and more. Enjoy.
44 min - Jewish Comedy, Justice, & Psychedelics: Roy Kaufmann
In this week's episode of The Genesis I get to speak with Roy Kaufman, a smarty-pants with a political and comedic mind. We touch on sarcasm as (hilarious) Jewish trauma response, shamanism, the politics of the drugware, weed, and Roy's podcast. Roy is the Communications Director for Oregon's Attorney General but more important, a thoughtful Jewish guy with a lot of ideas to share. Enjoy.
43 min - Metasabiya Habteyes & Rabbi Josh: Lefty Discomfort, Israel, Jews of Color & the Jewish Future (Oh, my)
Metasabiya (aka Tammy) and Rabbi Josh get into it, exploring shifts in Jewish identity, post October 7th politics, Jews of color, racism on the left, Israeli punk, and more. Tammy is a brainy Jewish lady in Portland who has a useful perspective on these issues - she is an Israeli-born Jew of Ethiopian descent. She doesn't pull punches in this wide-ranging conversation, this inaugural podcast of The Genesis.

About The Art/Lab Podcast: Conversations About Jewish Arts and Culture
From the publisher's feed
We are right at the beginning of what some have called "The 21st Century Jewish Cultural Renaissance," and the Art/Lab podcast is watching it unfold, in real time and up close. Each week Rabbi Josh Rose has a conversation with a different Jewish artist or cultural figure to explore questions of artistic creativity, individual Jewish identity, Jewish expression and how Jewish arts are reshaping what it means to be Jewish. So, if you're interested in 21st century Jewish life, Jewish ideas, Jewish arts or just good conversation, you're in the right place.
