Listen "2.13 | Orthodox Judaism is Pro-Woman - Talking about Abortion with Rabbanit Dr. Adena Berkowitz"
Episode Synopsis
We know that today's episode is one that will be polarizing, potentially hard to listen to, and will likely challenge you in some way no matter your stance on the subject. We hope you'll listen with an open mind and heart. Adena Berkowitz is here today to discuss abortion, a woman's right to choose, and what the Torah has to say about the matter. Adena is Scholar in Residence at Kol HaNeshamah NYC and Senior Educator at the Manhattan Jewish Experience. Her work includes reaching out to affiliated and not-yet-affiliated Jews and re-energizing their spiritual lives. With a background in law, Jewish Studies, and Psychotherapy, Adena is a practicing therapist in NY and the author of the bestselling The Jewish Journey Haggadah, and co-author of Shaarei Simcha: Gates of Joy, a mini prayerbook. (It is the first liturgical work in the modern era written by Orthodox women for use in the Jewish community.) She lives in New York with her husband Rabbi Zev Brenner and her children.

Welcome to the Oh My God Podcast, Season TWO, with your Co-Hosts Zelda Lebovits and Chana Rochel Cohen Portnoy!
In Season 1, the podcast aimed to talk about success in the face of failure, modern Judaism, and real life. Season 2 will deliver the same message, but even more potently.
Zelda and Chana Rochel have individually and collectedly been challenged by the Jewish system they grew up in. Through their evolution, questions, failures, mistakes, and heartbreaks, they have begun to untangle much of what was keeping them in survival mode so they could truly be set free to thrive.
This is what they’ll dissect each week with you: The Jewish journey. Real. Raw. And vulnerable. Because that is the only thing that can truly change lives, and maybe even save them. You’re only one episode away from being more honest with yourself.
