Shuva Full Circle: Baal Teshuva Integration
On Shuva Full Circle, we invite respected rabbis, thought leaders, visionaries, influencers, and Baalei Teshuva themselves, to discuss the do's and don’ts of building an inspired life within the framework of religious Judaism. We work toward practical answers while living with the hard questions.
Join us on our journey!

Shuva Full Circle: Baal Teshuva Integration
Mrs. Miriam Lipskier - A Campus Shlucha Whose Parents Found Yiddishkeit on Campus
In Part I of our eighth episode, we hear from campus shlucha Mrs. Miriam Lipskier what it was like to grow up in Morristown as the child of baalei teshuva. Miriam shares candidly how her parents went from college valedictorians to hasidim of the Rebbe, and her own experience growing up in a family that unapologetically stood out as different. We learn about the importance of staying connected to mentors, proudly owning who you are, being open to learning from your children, respecting authority figures while acknowledging their complex humanity, and always putting inner spiritual work above external appearances. Finally, Miriam shares with us her unique "full circle" perspective as a campus shlucha whose parents found religious Judaism as students on campus.
