I’m Jewish, but was never raised with the religion.

 

Even so, I’ve spent my entire adult life trying to reclaim the traditions and values that feel both intrinsic and foreign to me. I can imagine I’m not alone.

 

Enter "Shofar So Good," an audio documentary series in its pilot season about my quest to unearth my Jewish roots by diving head-first into life’s trickiest questions. By exploring questions surrounding faith, death, a higher power, and prayer, I’ll stitch together a better understanding of what it means to be a Jewish person.   As a journalist, I’ve often helped other people make sense of their own stories. Now, I’m turning the spotlight on myself, using the journalistic approach I’m comfortable with to approach these dautning questions.
