Description

Lisa Braver Moss, Rebecca Wald, and Eliyahu Ungar-Sargon are the founding members of B'ruchim's executive board. So what's B'ruchim? It's a recently-launched organization that seeks to foster welcoming spaces for Jewish families who have opted out of the ritual of circumcision. In this episode, the three co-founders join Dan and Lex for a conversation about why their organization exists, how opposition to circumcision can come from a deeply Jewish place, and what it might look like for Jewish communities to explicitly welcome people into their communities independent of their circumcision status. You can learn more about B'ruchim's work via Bruchim.online.If you're enjoying Judaism Unbound, please help us keep things going with a one-time or monthly tax-deductible donation.
