91: #91 | Go Rabbi Maith Agat: Cecelia Beyer’s Irish Journey

from Motherfoclóir · host HeadStuff Podcasts

Some people out there wouldn’t see a rabbinical calling and a love of Irish dancing and sean-nós singing as a likely pairing. Those people have not met Darach’s guest this week. Saoirse Cecelia Beyer is a New Jersey-based rabbi with a passion for traditional Irish singing and dancing styles which has taken her to fleadhs all over. In this week’s episode, she tells Darach about being a “purveyor of joyful Judaism”, learning conversational Connacht Irish but Donegal Irish songs, PG-13 humour in religious education and the significance of the chosen name Saoirse. She also offers an informed interpretation of controversial passages of Genesis and Leviticus which might surprise you. --- Contact the show: twitter - @motherfocloir and @theirishfor email - [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
