Water, but make it holy. In The Mikveh in 10 Minutes, we’ll dive (pun fully intended) into one of Judaism’s most ancient and meaningful practices: the ritual bath. From biblical purity laws to modern-day spiritual resets, the mikveh has been a place of transformation, renewal, and connection. We’ll explore its many uses—conversion, family purity, preparing for holidays, and even marking big life changes like recovery or new beginnings. Along the way, we’ll clear up common misconceptions (no, it’s not just “Jewish spa day”) and highlight how contemporary communities are reimagining mikvaot as inclusive and empowering spaces. Think of it as the original “reset button” for body and soul, with thousands of years of tradition flowing through its waters. Ten minutes, a splash of history, and a lot of meaning—all without needing to bring a towel.

Behind every patriarch is a powerhouse matriarch. In The Jewish Matriarchs in 10 Minutes, we’ll spotlight Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah—the women whose choices, courage, and occasional drama shaped the destiny of the Jewish people. Sarah laughs at the impossible, Rebecca engineers blessings with some clever goat-skin disguises, Rachel inspires devotion that lasts 14 years of labor, and Leah quietly builds the future through perseverance and faith. Far from background characters, these women drive the story forward with wit, grit, and more than a little family intrigue. We’ll explore how their lives echo through Jewish tradition, prayers, and even modern conversations about identity and leadership. Expect ten minutes of history, theology, and a healthy dose of humor—because nothing says “biblical matriarch” like navigating sibling rivalries, fertility struggles, and divine promises, all while running the ancient household like pros.

Who were Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—and why do they get top billing in Jewish history? In The Jewish Patriarchs in 10 Minutes, we’ll zip through the lives of the “founding fathers” of Judaism. From Abraham smashing idols and cutting covenants, to Isaac’s near-miss on Mount Moriah, to Jacob wrestling angels and raising twelve sons who became the tribes of Israel, these stories are more than bedtime tales. They’re the foundation of Jewish identity, faith, and a good deal of family drama. Along the way, we’ll explore why these figures matter not only in Judaism, but also in Christianity and Islam. Expect a mix of legendary storytelling, theological insight, and a dash of humor—because if you think your family has drama, wait until you hear about sibling rivalries that shaped entire nations. Ten minutes, three patriarchs, and one whirlwind journey through the roots of Jewish tradition.
