Bereshit

Welcome to the very first episode of Life Cycle Ladies! In this kickoff conversation, Rabbis Lara and Loren pull back the curtain on how this podcast—and their friendship—came to be. What started with a zipper mishap and a tequila shot quickly turned into a deep bond rooted in shared life experiences, humor, and the unique perspective of being clergy navigating major life moments in real time.From weddings and B’nai mitzvah planning to grief, family dynamics, and the unspoken rules of Jewish life cycle events, this episode sets the stage for what’s to come: honest conversations, practical guidance, and a refreshing look at the moments that shape our lives.A note to our listeners: This episode was recorded a few months ago.
