Episode 6: Disability Justice in my Judaism? It's more likely than you'd think
How do we practice Judaism from disabled bodies? In this episode Charlie and Jaime study disability justice texts from Leah Lakshmi, Mia Mingus, and Rabbi Elliot Kukla to explore the ways we show up in our spiritual and relational lives. Both hosts grapple with recent diagnoses, and share their processes of grief and rediscovery of lives centering disability.
