Growing up Suburban Jewish & Finding Your Faith With Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg

To close out our Jewish Leaders series, we have an inspiring interview with Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg. We cover a wide range of things; from her roots growing up secular in goth punk culture, finding her calling and faith, spiritual practices, and how queer folks harmed by religion can claim their faith again. As a Scholar in Residence at the National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW), her work is grounded in activism and we talk about how important it is today to continue to keep people safe and work towards a more just tomorrow. She is also an author with a substack called Life is a Sacred Text, and a new book coming out, On Repentance And Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World. Listen in for Rabbi Ruttenberg’s thoughts on the nature of the Divine and how you can tap into that through spiritual practice.
