Episode 66: The Journey Of A Jewish Nomad w/Maayan Klein
Imagine weaving Jewish tradition into a life spent traveling the globe—and thriving. On this episode of Schmoozing Time, I talk with Maayan Klein, co‑creator of The Jewish Nomads, who shares how she maintains Jewish ritual and identity while exploring remote corners of the world. We dive into how she celebrates Pesach in off‑the‑grid locations, builds community without borders (including through the Beit HaLev hub in India), practices minimalism and healthy living, and embraces spirituality in everyday moments. Maayan also reflects on how social media enables her to authentically share this journey and inspire listeners to follow their own paths of growth, ritual, and connection.
Maayan Klein travels the world with her husband Ash and children as the family called The Jewish Nomads. Through her platform and community‑building work—including Beit HaLev in India—she shows how Jewish life can flourish in unexpected places. Maayan inspires others to blend simplicity, spirituality, and authenticity in their own journeys.

Episode 64: Finding Your Why w/Miriam Anzovin
What happens when ancient Jewish texts meet modern-day digital culture? In this thought-provoking episode of Schmoozing Time, I sit down with Miriam Anzovin—a trailblazing voice reshaping the way young Jews connect with tradition, identity, and the Talmud. Together, we dive into why Judaism isn't just about what you do, but why you do it—unpacking the deeper meaning behind rituals, the evolving role of women in Jewish learning spaces, and the power of disagreement as a sacred form of growth.
Miriam opens up about her own personal journey: from feeling disconnected from Jewish learning to becoming one of the most recognizable faces in the online Talmud space. She shares how social media can be both a powerful tool and a dangerous distraction in the process of Jewish exploration, and how humor, curiosity, and critical thinking can be radical acts of engagement. Whether you're religious, secular, or somewhere in between, this episode will challenge the way you think about Jewish identity, tradition, and the stories we tell ourselves about both.
Miriam Anzovin is a writer, content creator, and speaker known for her viral “Daf Reactions” series, which brings Talmud study to life with humor and authenticity. Through her work, she has sparked widespread conversations about accessibility, feminism, and the future of Jewish learning. Miriam’s creative approach bridges generations, inviting people of all backgrounds to explore Jewish texts in bold and unexpected ways.
