A podcast from Congregation Temple Israel. This series explores Judaism through the voices of our Senior Rabbis, Amy Feder & Michael Alper, and features sermons that reflect our beliefs, address current events, illuminate the Torah, or simply inspire us all to live Jewishly...out loud!

In Secrets of the Mikvah, Rav Pinson delves into the transformative powers of the Mikvah with his trademark all-encompassing perspective that ranges from the literal, Pshat observation and Halachic implications of the texts, to the allegorical, the philosophical, and finally, to the deep secrets of the Mikvah as revealed by Kabbalah and Chassidus.

Danielle and Galeet make a discovery that takes them back in time, and helps them find answers to their questions about why their family left Iran and abandoned ...

When people asked “Where are you from?” Danielle was never sure if they wanted to know the places she’d lived or whether they just thought she looked foreign. She didn’t know many families like hers in mainstream Jewish America. These days, there’s growing awareness about the diversity of the Jewish experience.
