The Jewish Life Cycle: Birth - Featuring Special Guest Chanie Fingerer

Curious about Judaism, but need help understanding its relevance to our lives today?

This week's video welcomes back a very special guest: Chanie Fingerer who is an obstetrics nurse and the founder of Yoledet Academy https://www.instagram.com/yoledetacad....

We discussed birth from a Jewish perspective.

The videos on Life's Cholent are my way of relating to each week's Torah portion and the Jewish holidays, laws, and customs. Judaism may be an ancient religion, but it remains germane to our lives today.
