Ep. 311 - Shemot with Aliza and Jason Plotkin

<p>Welcome back to the Book of Shemot! We’re starting a brand new book, but don’t worry, we have some familiar friends to help us move through it. Welcoming back #TeamPlotkin (Jewish professionals Aliza and Jason Plotkin), we engage with this week’s parasha through a new lens: that of adoption. Jason and Aliza walk us through how adoption can be seen and understood as a Jewish value, as we explore the different family structures that Shemot provides us within our first three chapters of this new book of Exodus (Shemot!).</p> <p>Jewish tradition of adoption:<br> Parashat Vayechi (Gen 48:5): Jacob takes Ephraim and Manasseh as his own<br> Parashat Shemot (Ex 2:5-10): Bat Paraoh takes Moses as her own Book of Ruth<br> Ruth (4:16-17): Naomi takes Ruth’s son as her own Book of Esther<br> Esther (2:7): Mordechai takes on a foster-father role for Esther Sanhedrin 19b: Anyone who raises someone, it is as if someone has given birth to that person.</p> <p>To continue the conversation:<br> Aliza’s email: <a href="mailto:alizaplotkin@gmail.com">alizaplotkin@gmail.com</a><br> Jason’s email: <a href="mailto:jplotkin@temple-israel.org">jplotkin@temple-israel.org</a></p> <p>Find us on social media:<br> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/drinkinganddrashing">Drinking and Drashing: Torah with a Twist</a><br> Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/DrinkingandDrashing">@DrinkingandDrashing</a><br> Website: <a href="http://www.drinkinganddrashing.com/">www.drinkinganddrashing.com</a></p> <p>Our Discord Server: <a href="https://discord.gg/xeeghhpSy3">https://discord.gg/xeeghhpSy3</a></p> <p>Show the love with some Drinking and Drashing: Torah with a Twist merchandise at store.drinkinganddrashing.com, and don’t forget to subscribe and give us a rating on Apple Podcasts—it’s a great way to help our show grow!</p> <p>Edited by <a href="mailto:michael.iaciofano@gmail.com">Michael Iaciofano</a></p>
