All you've got to do is bring the light, cause the new light shine, cause the new light shine. Shalom, shalom, everyone. Welcome back to the light lab podcast. It's our 24th episode. And I just want to say as I like to do, thank you to you for listening. Thank you for supporting our show, for being part of this together as the light lab grows and changes and expands. We want to be here with you, sharing the wisdom of our liturgy, holding it up to the light and seeing what shines through. I really do think T'fillah can be a vessel into which we pour the joy and the love and the grief and the sadness that we experience in this world. How do we see both? How do we hold on to both? I hope that we can be a bit of a salve for that and to provide some inspiration and learning as you continue on your own to be T'fillah journey.

I'm really excited to present today's interview which I did with Rabbi Emily Aronson because it connects very well to what we were talking about in the last episode in our Amidah series when we came to the blessing on healing. Rabbi Emily Aronson was ordained from HUC, Jr, in 2021. And I know her because we were both in the Glean Start program together, it was a spiritual entrepreneurship incubator. And her project which she has now brought to life and has brought so much learning and meaning and wisdom to so many people is called Chronic Congregation. You can find her on Instagram @chronic_congregation, we'll have that linked below as well. A project focused on the intersection of Judaism, disability, and chronic illness. And we get into all of that, in our show. Rabbi Aronson is really on a mission to help congregations and Jewish communities of all sorts, be inclusive, not just in the way the building is laid out, and the way the books are laid out, but to be inclusive in theology and practice as well, which is a really incredible idea. She's the incoming Reform campus Rabbi at the Bronfman Center for Jewish student life at New York University, and has just completed her term as the interim dean of students at each HUCs New York Campus. In rabbinical school, Rabbi Aronson served in all different sorts of synagogues, pastoral care settings, and Israel organizations. And she has a BA in Jewish thought, and a BA in ethnicity and race studies from her time at JTS college at Jewish Theological Seminary and Columbia University. She currently lives in Brooklyn with her fiance and their rescue dog. And I'm so so grateful to bring this conversation to you. So please take a listen to my interview with Rabbi Emily Aronson.
