This week’s guest is the groundbreaking rabbanit of L.A. modern Orthodox congregation B’nai David-Judea, Alissa Thomas-Newborn. The conversation explores her journey from being the daughter of a Reform rabbi and a student at the Brentwood school to a leader in the modern Orthodox community, the role she plays as rabbanit, and the legacy of women leaders throughout Jewish history. She discusses the path we are all on in finding meaning, purpose, and our place in this world, as well as the beauty and vibrancy of Judaism.
