<![CDATA[<p>This week's episode is a little different. Instead of our usual format, I'm sharing a conversation where I'm the guest on Alana Gelnick's excellent <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/0kNXKVJ3I4Pv4ngyOrSc7f?si=b3e594783e5a4d48" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stream of Dreamearly</a> podcast, in an episode entitled <em>Ways to Make the Seder Matter: Being Your Authentic Self.</em> As we prepare for Pesach, this discussion explores a simple but powerful idea: the Seder is not about getting everything right, but about creating a feeling, building connection, and giving our children experiences they will carry long after they forget the details.</p> <p>If this resonates, I encourage you to listen to the other episodes in this miniseries as well, including conversations with Rabbi Steve and Sharon Richter on choosing a Seder theme and Rabbi Yair Menchel on creating a meaningful Seder experience.</p> <p>I will also be rereleasing additional classic Orthodox Conundrum Pesach episodes in the coming days.</p> <p>Enjoy, and chag kasher v'sameach!</p> <p>Listen to <em>Ways to Make the Seder Matter: Choosing a Theme</em>, with Rabbi Steve and Sharon Richter on <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/episode/0n2r1kqTkSlbUYXCQwFvRU?si=p5kFkkuLQjOp1Uoyc9zb2Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spotify</a> or <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stream-of-dreamearly/id1765583837?i=1000757067336" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple</a>.</p> <p>Listen to <em>Ways to Make the Seder Matter: Creating an Experience</em>, with Rabbi Yair Menchel on <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/episode/3VuSrKSywdDiMpzjhTImp9?si=Ly72lFdqRm-KFc043-pjxg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spotify</a> or <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stream-of-dreamearly/id1765583837?i=1000757271434" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple</a>.</p> <p><strong>Check out Orthodox Conundrum Commentary on Substack and get your free subscription by going to <a href= "https://scottkahn.substack.com/">https://scottkahn.substack.com/</a> - and paid subscribers receive episodes of the Orthodox Conundrum Podcast ad-free and with early access and additional bonus content!</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Please listen to and share this podcast, and let us know what you think on the Orthodox Conundrum Discussion Group on Facebook (<a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/432020081498108" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.facebook.com/groups/432020081498108</a>).</em></p> <p dir="ltr"><em>Thanks to all of our Patreon subscribers, who have access to bonus JCH podcasts, merch, and more - we appreciate your help, and hope you really enjoy the extras!
