On this week's Seekers of Meaning TV Show and Podcast, Daniel Libenson and Lex Rofeberg discuss Judaism Unbound, a project of the Institute for the Next Jewish Future, that catalyzes and supports grassroots efforts by “disaffected but hopeful” American Jews to re-imagine and re-design Jewish life in America for the 21st Century. Libenson and Rofeberg are the co-hosts of the Judaism Unbound podcast.Judaism Unbound values the ways that you choose to connect to Judaism, whether through rituals steeped in millennia-old traditions or through entirely new paradigms that ancient Jewish texts never dreamed of; whether your Judaism includes participation in Jewish communal organizations or not; whether you live and breathe Jewishly 24/7 or you just want to connect once or twice a year; whether you think of yourself as Jewish, half-Jewish, Jewish-and-X, partly-Jewish, not-Jewish, or Jew-ish.Seekers of Meaning TV Show and Podcast Now Available on Roku Streaming ServiceYou can add the Jewish Sacred Aging TV channel to your Roku streaming subscription by visiting this page: https://channelstore.roku.com/details/600964/jewish-sacred-aging.You can also watch this week's show in the player below.Watch the TV showhttps://vimeo.com/545202816?loop=0Listen to the Audio PodcastYou can listen to the audio podcast version in the player below, or subscribe to the podcast in one of the popular platforms by clicking one of the buttons below the player.
