Dan Libenson, Lex Rofeberg: Judaism Unbound Episode 247: Painting with Judaism
Dan Libenson and Lex Rofeberg open up a strange question -- but we promise it's an interesting one! What happens if we understand Judaism as a medium of art, like paint, which can be deployed in all sorts of creative ways? How would this differ from an image (get it??) of Judaism where it's similar to an already-completed painting, which we wouldn't be able to change now that it's done? This episode is the final episode in a series exploring the history, and contemporary leadership, of America's Jewish women.
