Pluralistic Judaism: Tradition Meets Modernity | PinkRabbi Laila

The radiant and wonderful PinkRabbi Laila is here to shower us in some accessible, fun and modern conceptions of faith. Her journey of finding a home in religion and becoming a rabbi is almost as fascinating as her obsession with the colour pink! We discuss pluralistic Judaism, the evolving role of women in religion, and the recent rise in antisemitism. The conversation also touches on gendered language in religious practices and the importance of community and safe spaces. Rabbi Laila imparts an inspiring message of respect, knowledge and loving your fellow human.
