Description

What happens when the vibrant tapestry of Jewish childhood experiences meets the evolving dynamics of modern Jewish communities? Jessica McCormick joins me on to share her unique journey from Los Angeles to Tucson, Arizona. Together, we explore how her formative years in Hebrew school and Jewish summer camps paved the way for a career shift from Hollywood to impactful roles in municipal government and Jewish nonprofits. Jessica opens up about how these experiences intertwined with her identity as a parent, and we reflect on the shifting prominence of conservative Judaism amidst changing synagogue memberships and community landscapes.

Through heartfelt discussions, Jessica and I highlight the resilience and adaptability required to nurture Jewish identity in an ever-changing world. Join us for an episode rich with personal stories, reflections, and a deep appreciation for the enduring spirit of Jewish communities.
