Sarah Waxman: Judaism Unbound Episode 241 - At The Well
Sarah Waxman, founder of an organization called At The Well, joins Dan Libenson and Lex Rofeberg for a conversation about Rosh Chodesh (the Jewish practice of marking a new month). They explore the history of Rosh Chodesh, its relationship to women's spirituality, and At The Well's "Well Circles," which empower women to share this sacred monthly celebration in community with one another. This episode is the fourth in a series of episodes exploring the history, and contemporary leadership, of America's Jewish women.

[4] At The Well, Waxman’s organization, is a DIFFERENT ORGANIZATION from The Well, a Metro-Detroit Jewish organization that has been featured on Judaism Unbound in the past! That said, the two projects collaborate regularly, and each has shouted out to the other in conversations with Judaism Unbound.
