Won't You Be My Rabbi?

Written by: The CJN Podcast Network
  • Summary

  • What's the difference between Reform and Conservative Judaism? Why are there so many different variations within modern Orthodoxy? And what are the Reconstructionists reconstructing, anyway? Comedian Laura Leibow doesn't have these answers—but she wants to find out. In this new miniseries by The CJN Podcast Network, she speaks with rabbis across the country (and across denominations) to try and make sense of the Jewish religious landscape... and where she fits into it all.

  • Modern Orthodox (part 2), with Ellie Bass
    Aug 25 2021

    There's so much variety in modern Orthodoxy, Laura decided to cover it twice. While Rabbi Rachel Kohl Finegold, in another episode, represented a more liberal strain, Ellie Bass, director of the Jewish Family Institute in Toronto, falls under the more traditional camp. Can Laura understand the appeal?
