My friend and fellow podcaster, Beatriz Nour, takes the helm for this special episode. Beatriz normally hosts her In-betweenish podcast, a wonderful show all about people, like herself, who inhabit multiple cultures. For this episode, we have switched roles, and talk about my personal faith path, sorting out my sexuality, choosing Judaism and deepening my practice. It was fascinating to be a guest on my own show and be asked questions I had never considered.
Highlights:
00:06:12 Didn't connect with Christianity, explored Jewish faith.
00:09:17 Multiple major life changes caused turmoil.
00:13:33 Parents saw lesbianism as hard but acceptable.
00:23:34 Religious freedom is important; misuse is common.
00:26:31 Talking with God Project started in Berlin, 2014.
00:30:12 Unique experience being part of German synagogue.
00:31:28 Active member of an egalitarian conservative synagogue with female rabbi; anchor for social life, learning, and Jewish practice.
