This episode offers a deeply personal and professional look at a day that can feel overwhelming for many in our community. We are joined by three incredible women who bring a wealth of experience and heart to this conversation: Gila Block (Executive Director of Yesh Tikva), Hadassah Hazan, MSW, and Shayna Abramson.

Together, they bridge the gap between professional expertise and lived experience, discussing how to navigate the complex emotions of Mother’s Day while dealing with infertility or loss. From practical boundaries to the spiritual toll of the 'sacred wait,' this conversation explores how we can support ourselves—and how our communities can do better to ensure every woman feels seen.

Finding strength and resilience through professional support and shared stories.

Join us for this raw, unedited, and essential conversation.

On Purim, we’re told to drink until we “can’t tell the difference” between cursed is Haman and blessed is Mordechai—but are we in fact obligated to do so? Does this apply to everybody? What about women and children? In this episode, Dr. Sharon Grossman and Chana Even-Chen explore what the halakhic texts say about getting drunk on Purim and whether 'L'Chaim!' is for all.

As we approach the new year, Karen discusses the ideas of hope and rebirth, using the analogy of birth to think through themes at this time in the calendar. She interviews Dr. Shira Fishman, OBGYN and high risk pregnancy specialist, to discuss the role of doctors in preventing pregnancy problems, and the challenges that can arise around pregnancy. The conversation concludes with their hopes for renewal and healing in the upcoming year.

Karen's podcast will be taking a break in the upcoming months while she works on completing a book. We look forward to sharing her Torah insights and interviews with you again in the future. The Eden Center is extremely grateful to Karen for her years of dedication and the wonderful insights she has shared.
