Shoshannah Gottlieb

Our guest this week is the wonderful Shoshana Gottlieb. She is a writer, thinker, educator and the brains behind the instagram page: Jewish Memes Only.

If you have instagram and you’re not following her, do yourself a favour. You'll get the white-hot memes you never knew you needed.

  • Jewish memes only - Instagram
  • Midrash reference 
  • Pardes Institute - where Shoshana studied
  • What's a Dybbuk?
  • On needing to be reminded of the right course of action again and again, found in the Introduction to Mesilat Yesharim
  • On the Inner Spark found in all living beings referred to in the Tanya, a foundational text from Hasidic philosophy:
    “Hashem gives it the physical world existence and animates it by
    the vitality and light which He causes to flow and shine forth unto it— a
    light that is clothed, hidden and concealed within the numerous and
    powerful garments, which hide and screen the light and vitality, so that
    no light or vitality whatever is visibly revealed, but only corporeal and
    physical things that appear lifeless. Yet they contain light and vitality
    which constantly give them existence ex nihilo, that they shall not revert
    and become nothing and nought as they had been.”

Episode Zero | Introducing After the Shofar

Episode Zero | Introducing After the Shofar

Welcome to After the Shofar, a Jewish Climate Network podcast bringing you lactose-free morsels of insight for a meaningful Jewish year ahead.

With fresh Jewish Australian voices, we'll be diving into big questions inspired by this time in the Jewish calendar: how might the Jewish practice of teshuvah - repentance - make us better Jews, better people, and better climate leaders? And when all is said and done - after the shofar blows for the last time - what do we each want to stand for and be proud of when the next New Year rolls around?

Thank you to the Erdi Foundation for supporting these important conversations and for your commitment to Jewish leadership on climate issues. We could not have done this without you.
