As we approach the new year (5785) Karen discusses the ideas of hope and rebirth, using the analogy of birth to think through themes at this time in the calendar. She then interviews Dr. Shira Fishman, OBGYN and high risk pregnancy specialist, and discusses with her the role of doctors in preventing pregnancy problems, and the challenges that can arise around pregnancy. The conversation concludes with their hopes for renewal and healing in the upcoming year.
Karen's podcast will be taking a break in the upcoming months while she works on completing a book. We look forward to sharing her Torah insights and interviews with you again in the future. The Eden Center is extremely grateful to Karen for her years of dedication and the wonderful insights she has shared.
