10 Foundational Practices: Synagogue (Part 2 of 10)

In this episode of They’re Rabbis and They’re Married, our Rabbis continue their mini-series on 10 foundational Jewish practices. They explore why showing up to synagogue isn’t just a weekend habit—it’s a cornerstone of Jewish spiritual life. From the ancient Temple to your neighborhood shul, we trace how communal prayer, sacred space, and presence in a minyan have shaped Jewish identity across generations.

We talk about the emotional resistance people often feel, what makes a shul feel like home (or not), and how even imperfect prayer spaces still carry divine potential. Whether you're a daily davener, a High Holiday drop-in, or somewhere in between, this conversation invites you to rethink what it means to “belong” in Jewish community.

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?
