136: Rabbi Noyo

In this podcast interview, Rabbi Sarah Noyovitz ("Rabbi Noyo") and John Pinna engage in a thoughtful conversation centered on the power of language in multi-faith dialogues, particularly regarding sensitive issues like the Israel-Palestine conflict. They explore how certain charged words, like "genocide," can halt meaningful conversations and discuss the importance of using language that facilitates productive dialogue rather than escalating tensions. Rabbi Noyo also shares personal experiences from their work in inclusive religious spaces, emphasizing the need to modernize traditional language and practices to accommodate diverse identities, including the use of gender-neutral Hebrew and inclusive rituals for LGBTQ+ individuals. The conversation highlights the delicate balance between honoring tradition and embracing progressive change to foster a more welcoming, accessible faith community.
