Episode 457: Heshvan Unbound - Lex, Miriam, and Rena Yehuda

Judaism Unbound

Heshvan is the month that comes after Tishri -- the month containing Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and multiple other Jewish holidays. It (Heshvan) is often framed as "a month with no Jewish holidays." The problem? It is not a month with no Jewish holidays! In this episode, Lex, Miriam, and Rena Yehuda (members of Judaism Unbound's staff team) dive into multiple Jewish holidays that have taken place in the past -- and continue to take place today -- during the month of Heshvan. They also ask some big questions about how we might reconceptualize the role of Heshvan entirely!
