The Kehillah RVA Podcast
Where community becomes conversation, and Judaism comes alive.
This podcast is your front door to Kehillah—Richmond, Virginia’s independent, progressive Jewish community. Through stories, spiritual insights, and moments of real connection, you’ll get to know what makes Kehillah different: we’re not just a synagogue—we’re the Jewish home you always wanted.
Hosted by Rabbi Patrick Beaulier, each episode features reflections on Jewish wisdom, creative contributions from Kehillah members, and updates on how this radically welcoming community is inspiring people spiritually, intellectually, and socially.

The Kehillah RVA Podcast
Who Gets Second Chances? | Lev. 21-4; Numbers 9
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when life gets in the way of doing the right thing at the right time? And what happens when “second chances” go too far?
From ancient ritual law to modern community life, this episode unpacks a core tension: responsibility vs. reality.
