A Jew Like Me is a podcast for all of us who love Torah but have felt like we are not fully represented in mainstream Jewish life. We are redefining the generally accepted idea of who a Jew is or what a Jew looks like, especially as Jews of Color or non-Rabbinic Jews. We are the children of Abraham and this podcast is to create our place at the table, let our voices be heard, and celebrate the multiculturalism of Judaism.
Too often, we only turn to God when we’re struggling—crying out for help in moments of pain, fear, or confusion. But what about when things are going well? In this episode of A Jew Like Me, we explore why it's just as important to praise God in our seasons of success. Our blessings are not accidents; they are divine gifts. Let’s talk about giving thanks, staying grounded, and remembering the Source of it all, even when life feels easy.

Rituals, Politics, and Idols: Jeremiah 7 for Today
🕍 In this episode of A Jew Like Me, we take a deep dive into Jeremiah 7—a powerful and often uncomfortable chapter that challenges us to examine where our loyalties truly lie.
Are we genuinely honoring God, or have we unknowingly replaced obedience with rituals, habits, politics, careers, and even government? What does idolatry look like today, and how can even the most sincere people fall into it?
Join me as we unpack the prophet’s warning to ancient Judah and explore how it still speaks to us today. It’s not just about avoiding carved images—it’s about aligning our lives with what God actually wants, not what’s convenient or traditional.
🕯️ A heartfelt and thought-provoking conversation for anyone seeking a deeper, more authentic walk with the Creator.

Believing in God vs Believing God
Do you just believe in God - or do you actually believe God? God commands us to love Him with all of our heart, all our being, and all of our might.
