These topics are important to me because disability rights are civil rights and human rights, as well as an integral part of diversity. This podcast will further the importance of seeing the vital work of advocacy as an ongoing narrative… one that we can all play a part in shaping for the benefit of others. This show was created and hosted by Keith Murfee-DeConcini, a disability advocate.

We explore the bold concept of identifying as \"secular and Jewish\" at the same time—proving that heritage is about more than just dogma. The Rabbis pull back the curtain on how this movement empowers individuals to take ownership of their culture. From using \"Bimitzvah\" as a gender-neutral rite of passage to modifying traditional ceremonies for those with mobility and sensory challenges, we discuss how the humanistic lens turns obstacles into solutions. It’s a conversation about saying what you mean, meaning what you say, and making sure everyone has a seat at the table—literally.","meta_description":"In this episode, we sit down with Rabbi Adam Chalom and Rabbi Jodi Kornfeld, editors of Contemporary Humanistic Judaism.
