Adapting: The Future of Jewish Education The Psychology of Jewish Living: Faith in a Modern World
What does it actually look like to live Judaism in today’s world?
And what does it mean to be part of a collective when we have so many different worldviews, orientations, and perspectives?
In this episode, Samantha Vinokor-Meinrath and Cantor Laura Stein explore this question through the lens of practical theology, or looking at how religion is lived, especially when paired with modern reality.
As a Ph.D. candidate in practical theology at Boston University, Cantor Stein and Samantha discuss her research in the psychology of religion, burnout for educators and clergy, turning struggle into growth, and moving through the world with our Jewish values.
This episode is perfect for anyone who has ever felt both deeply connected to their Jewish community and at odds with it, and is searching for a more authentic way to belong.
