I probably made a bunch of people upset years and years ago - but I can't remember all the details. (There's a reason you're supposed to apologize as soon as you mess up.) Between Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, Jews are called to do an honest accounting of our souls, and to make amends where we can. In this episode, I'll explain that a little more, and why MY apology, however imperfect, is pretty necessary right now.

031 - "Do You Plan to Have a Jewish Household?" (Finding a Rabbi Series)

It’s one of the most common questions a rabbi may ask a couple before deciding that he or she is the right fit for the couple’s wedding.

If a rabbi asked you this question, do you know how you would answer?

Does it conjure feelings of fear, confusion, and dread?

Don’t worry. I’m here to help.
