From Bloody Guilt to Mazel Tov & Shoftim

In this episode, I talk about transitions, their joys and pain, and ritual. Personally, I’m going through many transitions at the moment, including my daughter’s wedding. But Jews, and the entire world, are going through huge transitions. I discuss the strange ritual at the end of this week’s parsha, some ancient rituals we still hold on to, and I attempt to answer the question of how rituals can help us, both in moments of joy and grief.
