What does it mean to be Rabbis who are married to each other? What does it mean to live Jewishly? What are ways that I can incorporate Jewish wisdom, values, and practices into my everyday life? Join Rabbi Rachel and Rabbi Marcus, a husband-and-wife rabbi team who serve as the co-rabbis of Temple of Aaron in Saint Paul, Minnesota, as they bring you an intimate glimpse into how they live out their daily Jewish lives. Each episode they will share their joys, struggles and everything in between as they work to apply Jewish ideas, values, and practices to their daily lives—building a Jewish home, raising children, serving their community, and navigating their busy daily lives. Join Rabbis Rubenstein each episode to learn ways that you too can practice an open-minded, modern, human-oriented, and sincere Judaism in your everyday life.
Intro music by the very talented Coleen Dieker and Jeffrey Baldinger

Finding Meaning in the Siddur: 1. The Morning Blessings
Our Rabbis Rubenstein have noticed that many Jews struggle to find meaning in the traditional Jewish prayer service. Even if they are able to say the prayers, often it is something that is done because one is supposed to with little understanding of the spiritual transformation it should lead one to achieve. On the contrary, the Jewish siddur (prayer book) leads a spiritual practitioner through a vast guided meditation which can rewire the mind and the soul. Our rabbis lead us through a magisterial tour of the siddur, and what each moment of it can offer a dedicated spiritual practitioner. Here is part #1 on the morning blessings.

Love the podcast
Great insight of living life Jewishly.
Great podcast
I just binged your podcast all day. I love it! I started with “do we need denominations” and got hooked. The next thing you know I’m opting to learn about pesach right after pesach. I’ve learned a bunch and I enjoy how it’s both thought provoking and light and funny.
Love Rabbis Rubenstein!
Rabbi Rachel and Rabbi Marcus are a joy to listen to! They discuss Judaism in a way that is relevant and approachable and just makes sense for modern daily life. Love these two!
