What this episode covers

What stays when the person who taught you a tradition moves on? In this episode, Hazzan Noam reflects on a small ritual — the three circles preschoolers make before covering their eyes for Shabbat candles — and what it reveals about how tradition travels. He looks into the phrase ledor vador, and what this week makes it feel newly urgent. Plus a conversation with Debbie Blumenthal — preschool director, master storyteller, Gesher program architect, and keeper of the felt board — about nearly 30 years at Temple Etz Chaim, the families who keep coming back generation after generation, and what it means to give a child a feeling of belonging.Between Two Shabbatot is a weekly podcast from Temple Etz Chaim in Thousand Oaks, California, hosted by Hazzan Noam Fields-Meyer Gould.
