In this episode, we sit down with Rabbi Shira Stutman, interim rabbi at Aspen Jewish Congregation, founding rabbi of the Sixth & I congregation in Washington, DC, and co-host of the podcast Chutzpod. Shira reflects on her path to becoming a spiritual leader, and how unexpected detours—from personal loss to leaving a thriving congregation—became opportunities for evolution and transformation. Shira also shares insights from her new book—The Jewish Way to a Good Life, explains what Judaism has to say about the concept of destination, and discusses the need of fostering honest dialogue in this polarized moment.
