Summary

This week on the podcast I share three ways Judaism has shaped my work in the world and I take a look at how the things that you learn as part of being in a religious community or any other kind of community impact how you think about the world.

| 0:28.0 | Hello, my chickens, how are you? I am very cold. We had our first little bit of snow last night, which felt very winter |
| 0:40.2 | magic for like 23 seconds. So I'm open for a little more snow, |

| 0:47.2 | it doesn't interfere with any of my plans. |
| 0:49.0 | That's the kind of snow I want. |
