If nothing else is sure in life, you can be certain that change at some point will come for us all. After 18 years in her job, Rabbi Miriam is heading for something new and as the rabbis reveal how Jewish ritual is the ultimate guide to change-management they reflect on how good endings make for a strong start.

When faced with a difficult conversation, what better way to deflect than to talk about what you had for breakfast? In this final conversation in the current series, the rabbis discuss why it is so hard to talk about Israel and its complex democracy. And they take up the challenge of doing so, at a time when Israelis all over the world are protesting in the streets in defiance of the new ultra-right wing coalition that threatens the beating heart of their democracy.

At every moment in Judaism we time travel because we're living between the world as it was and the world as it is. Yet, every year on the 14th of Adar, Purim turns everything on its head...

Creating liturgy is a long process but like any creative art, it draws inspiration from a great many sources. In the context of Judaism, many minds and hearts play their parts too and in this episode Rabbi Mark Goldsmith crosses the threshold to join the Rabbiters in a very special conversation about the creation of a new prayer book for the High Holy Days. Out in 2024, the new MRJ Machzor promises beauty, tradition and of course, meaningful change.

People who live in communities tend to live longer and Jewish community can be a protective factor but it's not always the case. Western cultures often value personal independence over communal interdependence and yet more people than ever are self-reporting the need for support with their mental health. Louise Kermode from Jewish mental health charity Jami joins the show to talk connection, empowerment and how we can create the right conditions for people to thrive ahead of this Mental Health Shabbat.

Jewish communities in Ethiopia, descended from the Tribe of Dan, migrated south during the Biblical period. Today, they remain devout communities many of whom wish to move to Israel. Many are entrepreneurs and university-educated but faced with poverty and complexities with Israeli immigration laws, they are being supported by charitable organisations such as Meketa, run by Rabbi Sybil Sheridan who joins Rabbiting On! to discuss her work. Following Maimonidean principles of empowerment and the teaching of Kol yisrael arevim zeh bazeh - the idea that all Jews are responsible for one another, you can support the work of Meketa by visiting www.meketa.org.uk

Anne Frank's diary was first published in English, this week, 70 years ago in 1952. Today, the book is one of the most famous in the world and the ideas that its author proposes inspire empathy, joy, and hope and speak truth of the human condition. While Rabbi Debbie is away on the March of the Living in Poland, Chief Executive of the Anne Frank Trust, Tim Robertson, joins the show to discuss a book that serves both as a bedrock of Holocaust education and to fight contemporary prejudice in all its forms.

Due to the nature of the content, this episode contains graphic descriptions of parts of the Holocaust. -
What's the connection between a jar of marmalade and the dynamics of community, the difference between equality and equity, the power of music and idolatry of industrialisation? Our Rabbis and Cantors each bring a unique gift to the world. On this week's show they share these passions with the Rabbiting On audience from their annual conference Kallah.

The Purim story is one of power, subversion, and ultimately survival but who is the real feminist hero and is all this fact, folklore or just plain old drag? Combine activism with humour and you have a force for change on your hands. And possibly a wig on your head. Happy Purim from all of us at Rabbiting On.
