Black Fire on White Fire: Reclaiming Your Place in Jewish Tradition

Ever felt like you’re standing in a gorgeous synagogue thinking, “This feels like mine… but also, am I allowed to be this here?”
Yeah. Same.

In this episode, we dismantle the mental mechitza, drag the Other Voice™ into the light, and reclaim your place in a tradition that has always had room for you — even if you were never shown the doorway.

We explore:
✨ Rabbi Rachel Adler’s “The Jew Who Wasn’t There” (hi, religious trauma)
✨ The REAL meaning of halakha — not a wall, but a pathway
✨ The white-fire margins of Torah (aka: your interpretive playground)
✨ Your spiritual foremothers: Deborah, Huldah, Bruriah, Asenath — and how they cracked the ceiling long before we had hashtags

If you’ve ever Googled “how to put on a talit” in a synagogue bathroom, this one’s for you.
