Torah Curious Season 2 Episode 9 w/ Deborah Cohen: Becoming the Jewish Calendar
from Torah Curious · host Jeremy Borovitz
Deborah Cohen grew up speaking Hebrew and lighting Hanukkah Candles, but didn't know anything about when the month of Kislev heralded the holiday's arrival. She went to Passover celebrations, but it wasn't until she led a Seder in Texas that she began to really own her Judaism. Deborah is thirsty for knowledge, and to be a part of this tradition means an intimate relationship with both text and the Jewish calendar. Come and learn from Deborah about Swiss-German-Jewish identity and that peculiarity of blessings that come in many forms.
