The Psychology of Jewish Living - Faith in a Modern World

What does it actually look like to live Judaism in today’s world? And what does it mean to be part of a collective when we have so many different worldviews, orientations, and perspectives?

In this episode, Samantha Vinokor-Meinrath and Cantor Laura Stein explore this question through the lens of practical theology, or looking at how religion is lived, especially when paired with modern reality.

This episode is perfect for anyone who has ever felt both deeply connected to their Jewish community and at odds with it, and is searching for a more authentic way to belong.
