About this episode

Adrienne Gold Davis continues her conversation with Ruchi Koval and Jael Toledo about the complexities of Jewish motherhood and family dynamics in the context of parenting and identity.

Repair is possible, even when parenting feels painful, complicated, or far from what we imagined. In Part 2 of this special Rise and Shine episode, Adrienne continues her conversation with Momentum Educators Ruchi Koval and Jael Toledo about Jewish motherhood, adult children, family dynamics, grief, and repair. This conversation explores what happens when children make choices that challenge our expectations, including choices around Jewish identity, Israel, relationships, family traditions, and independence.
