I have been a student at Mensch academy for 8 or more years and am happy to find recordings of sermons! Thank you Rabbi Lizzie

What a refreshing and present approach in gathering ancient knowledge and constructing and delivering it into the modern day. The sermons are very insightful and listening to Hebrew is beautiful. The approach that Mishkan takes, is very transformative. I wasn’t born Jewish, yet constantly stumble across many spiritual teachings(through people and online/digital world) I’ve been applying a lot of these teachings into my life which resonates on many levels. I look forward to attending an event in the future.

I love the sermons because they often make me think about Jewish traditions, values, and life in general in a new way. Sometimes they challenge prior assumptions and they are always compassionate and engaging.

Contact Chai is an inspiring mix of reflections on both current events and timeless practices of Judaism that impact our daily lives. Its content is both practical and challenging. Mishkan rabbi’s apply Jewish philosophy and truth to politics, current events & and life milestones. Content geared to Jewish listeners but definitely applicable to the Jew-curious as well.

These are great. Rabbi Lizzi is so cool.

I love the variety of topics and fantastic guests. Every episode leaves me thinking deeply and feeling inspired. Thank you!

I usually listen to all my podcast at 1.5 speed. This one I slow down and listen to at normal speed so I can take it all in and let it wash over me. As a teaching I really appreciate the approaches to education presented.

The beauty of a Shabbat sermon is its staying power -- that you can hear it on Friday night and let it soak in all week. But I couldn’t help myself, I binged Contact Chai, auto-play, spiritual gluttony. Seriously, though, this podcast is so good I couldn’t wait to hear more. From the Replays to the special interviews, this Jewish podcast is the most relevant, thoughtful, and inspiring podcast in a most down-to-earth way.

Amazing discussion. When’s Part Two?

This concise podcast is the perfect quality and quantity for a train ride or short walk. It’s insightful, inspiring, and cleanly relevant. Highly recommended!

I was honored to share some words and grateful to have this available for you all to here!

It’s wonderful to be able to listen to Mishkan anytime any place!

Highly compelling and insightful fresh thinking - consistent with all of the thought-provoking perspectives always on offer at Mishkan

Big fan of Rabbi Lizzi. These are a great way to momentarily retreat from the bustle of the day and turn on a different part of the brain. Thank you, Mishkan!

Come for the music, stay for the ruggelach for your soul. Always smart and engaging.

Love having a bit of Mishkan to take with me. If you’re looking for serious Jewish content steeped in tradition but innovative and really bringing these ideas into the 21st century.

Love getting to learn all about so many different topics from a Jewish perspective

Great podcast, very meaningful. Thank you for doing this

Great way to get you thinking about how to make the upcoming week intentional

Every week on Shabbat rabbi Lizzi brings us a little Torah and spirituality that connects with our real life. Now we get even more Jewish goodness from Lizzi’s amazing friends and it makes my midweek feel a little more holy.

Enjoyable and nuanced discussion! Mishkan has been putting out excellent digital content to help people feel grounded and connected. Rabbi Lizzi is always fantastic.

Love tuning in and hearing how Mishkan Chicago makes Judaism relevant to my life. Keep it up!

Love hearing this Jewish wisdom and fresh takes on holidays

A really enjoyable exploration of Jewish ideas with fascinating and unexpected guests.

A great combination - thoughtful and fun, as with most things produced by Mishkan. Well done.

Rabbi Lizzi, the Mishkan staff and podcasts guest are the best! I'm not one for services, but I relish jewish thoughts and ideas. Lizzi and her cohort present them in a wise and approachabale way. I've had a takeaway that I "needed" to share, from every episode!

Do you like your Judaism accessible, relevant, modern and inclusive? If so, you’ve come to the right place! Fantastic podcast to catch up on Rabbi Lizzi + Rabbi Deena’s Shabbat drashes (sermons) plus learn from special guests - spiritual leaders from Jewish and other faith communities :) Definitely a must-listen!

I enjoyed listening to the rabbi and Jessica Kate Meyer. I learned a lot and a song or two I’d never heard. Good sound, too, btw.

I’m biased but I love the show. And I am really digging the new music by Kalman Strauss!

These teachings really resonate! I can’t say enough about how relevant, touching and meaningful I find all of these podcasts. Rabbi Lizzie is a soulful spiritual leader who I am so grateful to call my Rabbi.

I enjoy every episode and with dvarim from Shabbat now, the podcast offers more regular content and great commentary. :)

The production quality never ceases to astound me! Hannah, your behind the scenes work is phenomenal!

Each episode thought provoking, surprising and interesting.

The second episode “putting the world back together with Pastah J” is the richest and most focused conversation about how to think about and act on our desires for justice in the black community. I enjoyed the first episode but this one was over the top excellent. I’m going to be processing this for some time. Thank for putting this out there for us! Looking forward to the next episode!

This first episode of Rabbi Lizzi’s new podcast brought two parts of me together - my “personal transformation, always growing spiritual” part... with my “trying to make sense of Jewish tradition” part. That integration is indeed transformational... I feel it viscerally as I listen and finish up my Seder food preparations (for one). Deep gratitude to Lizzi and Dana.
