"I craved religion and even tried Christianity" | In Conversation with comedian Antonia Lassar

Video link to this interview: https://youtu.be/ctuFi83643EAntonia Lassar is a Jewish comedian who grew up with very little Judaism. She later became interested in various forms of religion, going on a seeker's journey for community with soulful musical connection. She loves singing and is a professional comedian. Our journeys couldn't be more different, yet we have so much in common in our appreciation of religious Judaism that doesn't always work for us. In our long form interview we talked about Antonia's background, about the Chabad sect, about the ritual of mikvah immersion, and much more.Check out Antonia here: Antonia on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/antonialastar/Antonia on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@antonialastar Antonia's website: https://antonialassar.com/Many many thanks to the Mandel Cultural Leadership program for helping make this happen.
