Episode 275: Rhythms of Sacred Protest - Koach Baruch Frazier: Koach Baruch Frazier -- a musician, activist, audiologist, and rabbinical student -- joins Dan and Lex for a conversation that upends the dichotomy of prayer, on the one hand, and action, on the other. Frazier looks back at their own journey toward the rabbinate, and in doing so considers what drumbeats, the inner ear, and silence have to teach us. As it turns out, listening to what these vessels of sound have to say (sound-metaphos intended!) can help unlock many important concepts in contemporary Judaism, and in contemporary strivings for justice. This episode is the third episode in a series that intertwines explorations of Judaism, through lenses of transgender experience, and explorations of gender, through lenses of Jewish experience. by Judaism Unbound
