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 - No One "Makes" a Baal Teshuva
In Part II of our eighth episode with Mrs. Miriam Lipskier, we dive into two controversial topics: the role of women in Judaism and a baal teshuva's individual responsibility for his or her spiritual journey. First, are Jewish women disempowered second-class citizens? Miriam challenges that simplistic narrative based on her own lived experience as a shlucha, and shares some advice on how to build a family life in which each spouse contributes to the fullest inside and outside the home. Second, who bears responsibility and takes credit for the success of baal teshuva integration -- shluchim or BTs? Miriam gives an empowering message to baalei teshuva to own your destiny even as you seek out the support and resources you need.
Plus, tune in to hear our answer when Miriam flips the mic and asks us why we started this podcast!
