  • Summary

  • What's the difference between Reform and Conservative Judaism? Why are there so many different variations within modern Orthodoxy? And what are the Reconstructionists reconstructing, anyway? Comedian Laura Leibow doesn't have these answers—but she wants to find out. In this new miniseries by The CJN Podcast Network, she speaks with rabbis across the country (and across denominations) to try and make sense of the Jewish religious landscape... and where she fits into it all.

    Modern Orthodox (part 2), with Ellie Bass
    Aug 25 2021

    There's so much variety in modern Orthodoxy, Laura decided to cover it twice. While Rabbi Rachel Kohl Finegold, in another episode, represented a more liberal strain, Ellie Bass, director of the Jewish Family Institute in Toronto, falls under the more traditional camp. Can Laura understand the appeal?

    Laura didn't really know what Reconstructionist Judaism was all about before speaking with Rabbi Boris Dolin, the head rabbi at Congregation Dorshei Emet in Hampstead, Que. But now that she knows, she might be sold.

    Could Laura be a modern Orthodox Jew? Probably not. But if anyone could pitch her on it, it's Rabbi Rachel Finegold Kohl, the director of education and spiritual enrichment at Congregation Shaar Hashomayim in Montreal
