    Thank you so much for this. It makes me happy to hear people talk about a terrible situation in a kind and loving way. And the prayer at the end was beautiful.

  Don’t pack away those NYE decorations just yet! Rabbi Shira and Joshua discuss Tu Bishvat, the Jewish “New Year of the Trees.” They’ll help you spruce up your observance with new ways to celebrate an ancient holiday. Also, we book our first guest, and it’s Santa Claus. No, really . Show notes: 1) Leviticus 19:23-25 וְכִי־תָבֹ֣אוּ אֶל־הָאָ֗רֶץ וּנְטַעְתֶּם֙ כׇּל־עֵ֣ץ מַאֲכָ֔ל וַעֲרַלְתֶּ֥ם עׇרְלָת֖וֹ אֶת־פִּרְי֑וֹ שָׁלֹ֣שׁ שָׁנִ֗ים יִהְיֶ֥ה לָכֶ֛ם עֲרֵלִ֖ים לֹ֥א יֵאָכֵֽל׃ וּבַשָּׁנָה֙ הָרְבִיעִ֔ת יִהְיֶ֖ה כׇּל־פִּרְי֑וֹ קֹ֥דֶשׁ הִלּוּלִ֖ים לַיהֹוָֽה׃ וּבַשָּׁנָ֣ה הַחֲמִישִׁ֗ת תֹּֽאכְלוּ֙ אֶת־פִּרְי֔וֹ לְהוֹסִ֥יף לָכֶ֖ם תְּבוּאָת֑וֹ אֲנִ֖י יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃ (23)  When you enter the land and plant any tree for food, you shall regard its fruit as forbidden.

0.00 Teaser - May you live in interesting times: How to honor, reflect upon, and mark new moments

In this  teaser episode , we give you a taste of what’s to come in Chutzpod!  Rabbi Shira and Joshua discuss the Jewish approach to liminality — moving forward from the past, actually being present in the present, and turning gratefully to the future. We look at the Shehechiyanu blessing, which gives thanks to the Source of All for giving us life, sustaining us, and bringing us to new moments. Even the tough ones. Here is more information on the Shehechiyanu itself, including help in saying this tongue-twister of a blessing. Or just try it yourself: Baruch atah ado-nai, elo-hey-nu melech ha-olam, sheh-heh-chi-yah-nu, v'key-yeh-mah-nu, v'hee-gee-ah-nu la-z'man ha-zeh. Blessed are you, Source of All, Who oversees our world and the universe, who has given us life, and sustained us, and brought us to this sacred moment. Back to Chutzpod!
