Episode 1: Laying the Foundation

In the inaugural episode of Tsuris and Soul, recorded earlier in December, Rebecca and Mira introduce themselves, unpack the meaning and etymology behind the podcast's name, and set intentions for this season.  Season 1 will explore how conflict is showing up in Jewish life right now—internally and externally—and how conversations meant to grapple with harm, accountability, and care are frequently shut down, distorted, or weaponized. Episode one lays the foundation for Tsuris and Soul: a podcast committed to multiplicity, brave conversation, and the radical possibility that disentangling what hurts can be an act of collective liberation.
