72 Miles til Kentucky Nathan Jordan Vaughan 72 Miles features the stories of three separate interfaith Jewish families–two real, one not, and one mine. Together, they trace 150 years of Kentucky history, with experiences that resonate today—about being Jewish in America. About being Jewish and southern at the same time. About being Jewish, being interfaith, and the blending of the two. This isn’t a podcast about the right way to be Jewish. Or what being Jewish even actually means. Mostly, this is a podcast about the lived experience of what it means to be Jewish in Kentucky. Along the way, I’ll speak with some folks who were there, or have been there, or can help bring context to these stories. And you’re invited too, because like all stories these experiences are meant to be shared. So strap in, and take a ride with me, up and down I-65, or back and forth on the L&N railroad. In the end the when and the who don’t make as much difference and you might think. But the where sure does.
