Award-winning journalist and producer Kate Mishkin has been working on podcasts, Shofar, So Good! has been launched.
The series follows her efforts to reunite with her Jewish heritage. Created through the Jewish Writers Initiative Fellowship and supported by the Maimonides Fund, the five-episode series explores the universal issues of faith, belonging and community.
“This podcast is my way of reconnecting with the traditions that have shaped my family for generations, navigating the complexities of modern spirituality,” Mishkin said. “Listeners want to create a space where listeners can reflect on their beliefs and sense of belonging, regardless of their background.”
Although her family has deep Jewish roots, Mishkin grew up in the Los Angeles area without a strong cultural or religious foundation.
In the podcast, she searches for answers to questions that she never comfortably asks about faith, belonging, and the nature of Judaism. Through conversations with rabbis, relatives and even children immersed in Jewish learning, the series tackles universal topics such as doubt, forgiveness and exploration of meaning.
“We are pleased to announce that we are committed to providing a range of services and services to helping people with a range of services,” said Rebecca Honig Friedman, Senior Program Officer at Maimonides Fund. “We are proud to be able to support Kate in creating this podcast.
“More than ever, we need creative projects like 'Shofar, So Good!' It places the depth of Jewish tradition in an easy-to-understand way, and for its connection with today's pressing questions. ”
The series also features original music from Grammy Award-winning composer/arranger Nanschwartz.
