Intro music by Joseph McDade
If I asked you what SoulCycle and Synagogue have in common, you might look at me like I’m crazy. One is a dark candlelit room with loud music and sweaty people moving in unison to the beat of the music. The other involves pews and prayers and your fanciest clothing. But these two seemingly random experiences actually share a lot more than meets the eye… They share similar outcomes. When done properly — with intention — you should walk out of both SoulCycle and Synagogue with a reinforced sense of connection and community. A spark that makes you want to come back, that makes you feel good, more whole, and eventually even transformed. The idea that Judaism — an ancient tradition filled with wisdom — can be applied to modern living in a way that can be as transformational as SoulCycle, is one of the realizations that set today’s guest on the path to becoming a Rabbi.
Sammy Kanter is a rabbinical student on a mission to find out why Judaism is relevant in this day and age. In today’s episode, we discuss how we can all ‘own’ our Judaism and make it feel authentic, Sammy shares tips for someone who might be struggling to connect, and how he’s taking his outreach to thousands on Tik Tok. Press play!

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a professional artist? I don’t think I’m alone when I say that the first thought that comes to my mind is that fantasy about artists as those dreamy, idealistic, creative types eating a cheese board with one hand and painting with the other while looking out at a French sunset. Lucky for us, today’s episode completely smashes every single one of those stereotypes as I speak with Michal Berman.
Michal is the owner and operator of Tel Aviv Art Studio. Located right in the heart of Tel Aviv, her art studio provides everything from lessons and workshops to group or individual art therapy, art parties, or just a space for anyone to create freely. Michal is an artist, teacher, entrepreneur, she really does it all. I speak with Michal about the benefits of art therapy, how she balances being an artist and a businesswoman, and how she uses creativity as her superpower in the business world. Michal explains how she used outside-the-box thinking to keep her brick and mortar business thriving during pandemic times and we even talk about how she is secretly a matchmaker, pairing up couples who she thinks might hit it off during her art classes.
Plus, if you listen right until the end, Michal actually walks us through the step-by-step art therapy technique she personally uses to solve problems. Let’s do this! Happy Listening!

We’ve all used, or at least seen, that timeless yellow and red Haggadah year after year at our Passover seder. So did Pearl Richman! But each year, Pearl would stick little notes, reminders and news clippings to make the seder a little bit more her own. That is, until she realized, all these modern rituals and additions could make it into a Haggadah of her own! That’s why Pearl, and her daughter Maxie, who are by no means Jewish scholars, set out to modernize the Passover Haggadah you’ve been using for decades by curating The Haggadah Collective. Pearl and Maxie call themselves passionate and dedicated students of kindness, love, and inclusivity. Their Haggadah is infused with a chic, contemporary aesthetic and is grounded in the concepts of diversity, equality, and acceptance. Plus, their love of kids inspired them to create a vibrant companion Haggadah, called "Hug-It-Out," which is a love letter to the children who sit at our Passover table and learn about Judaism from us with great curiosity and awe.
As I speak with Pearl this week, she shares all about the thought process behind the creation of The Haggadah Collective and how this can serve as inspiration for you to take the passover rituals into your own hands and infuse a unique mix of tradition and modernity into your seders. Are you ready? Let’s talk passover!

The month of Adar is known as the Hebrew month of happiness. As noted in the Talmud, when the month of Adar enters, joyincreases ✨ And this year, Adar comes into perfect alignment with the month of love: February. In this episode, Valentines Day and Purim intersect as I speak with Yonina Rubinstein, a sexuality educator and counsellor based in Israel. Yonina manages to speak about all the subjects that make most of us a deep blush red with ease and empathy, making it feel like you can really ask her anything (including those awkward burning questions you’ve never felt comfortable saying out loud.) This is your chance to listen in on a candid conversation with a 'sexpert' about all things sexual health, role play, costumes, scheduled sex, and having fun in the bedroom. Plus, we bring this all into the context of Purim. Yonina helps us connect Sexuality and Judaism as she explains the evocative themes in the Megillah and how they can help us redefine our narrative and take pride and ownership of our own sexuality. Are you ready for Sprout's sexiest episode yet? Happy Listening!

Tu B’Shevat is the Jewish ‘new year of trees.’ It’s a light-filled holiday full of hope for the future as it marks the transition from winter to the beginnings of spring. If you couldn’t tell by the name of this podcast, I am a plant-lover, so naturally, I am so thrilled to be recording my Tu B’Shevat special! Over Tu B’Shevat, the Jewish tradition invites us to reflect, plant new seeds of spiritual renewal and cultivate growth in all its forms. That’s why this week I am speaking with Kylie Unell, the founder of “Rooted.” A name so very fitting for the occasion, Rooted is an organization that empowers young Jews to feel confident about their Jewish identity and inspires them to foster a relationship with God. Kylie’s brilliance and insight shines through this entire interview as we discuss the beauty of Tu B'Shevat, ways we can cultivate a stronger relationship with God and be more Rooted in our Jewish identity.

When we think of sexy photos, usually the image of an Orthodox Jewish woman doesn't come to mind. In fact, that would seem totally taboo. That's why it may come as a surprise that a woman who covers her hair, doesn't expose her knees or shoulders, and follows the laws of tzniut (modesty), would bare it all for a boudoir shoot. But for boudoir photographer, Rebecca Sigala, it's not a surprise at all. Though women who follow strict laws of modesty steer clear of any sexual suggestiveness in their public life, it would be a mistake to assume Orthodox women don't embrace sexuality in their private life. All women want and need to feel sexy, which is why Rebecca's goal with intimate photography is to empower and celebrate women and their bodies.
In this episode, I speak with Rebecca about the power of boudoir photography for self-love and acceptance, how she paved the way for this art-form in her Orthodox community, and how she believes we should teach the next generations about modesty and sexuality.

You know those friends you can have super thoughtful, meaningful conversations one moment, and the next you are rolling on the floor laughing at the silliest, strangest things? That's me and my best friend Maya. We are ride or dies. That's why I'm so excited that in this episode, you finally get to meet and learn all about her!
Maya and I share the story of how we became friends, we discuss what has kept our friendship strong over the years, our differences + similarities and how the two compliment one another & we play a round of "Most Likely To." It gives off major best friend slumber party vibes which is why it's one of those episodes I will be going back to when I need good energy, a laugh, or a friend.
I promise, it's a good one. Happy listening!

2020 was a rollercoaster of a year. Amidst all of the ups and downs, this podcast is one of the many beautiful things that flourished out of it. I had always dreamed of having a podcast, my own little creative endeavour. Now, the fact that someone (anyone) actually listens and enjoys blows my mind. If there is anything we can learn from a year like this, it is that out of great pain + struggle can emerge great beauty + evolution. In today's episode I dive into the lessons I learned in 2020 and the takeaways I'm carrying into 2021.
I also discuss the general direction I will be taking the podcast in 2021 as we move into a new year and a new season! My hope is that the Sprout Podcast will serve as a platform to highlight the diversity of the Jewish experience. I want to interview Jewish creators about all-things Jewish pop-culture, spirituality, religion, and discuss how Jewish identity fits into everyday life for Jewish people around the world. My wish is that no matter where in the world you are, will feel more confident to speak about your Jewish identity with a greater sense of pride. I think that when we see ourselves represented in others, we allow ourselves to be fully seen.

Mateo Peralta has lived a whole lot of life in his 20-something years in this world. From moving around between multiple countries in his childhood to being a leader and mentor on his university campus, Mateo could never could have imagined the events that overtook his life when he was diagnosed with Cancer a few years ago. In this podcast episode, Mateo candidly shares his story of resilience and overcoming obstacles — and, in a fashion that those who know him recognize as typical of his personality, he does so with extreme grace, quirk and even humour. In this powerful conversation, Mateo and I discuss his mindset during sickness and recovery, how he reclaimed his love for reading and used it as a form of exploration, and — zooming into right now — Mateo draws parallels between the sense of isolation he experienced then to provide wisdom on moving forward with the current state of the world.

In times when home doubles as a restaurant, gym, office, school, coffeeshop (you name it), it can really be hard to make your spaces feel special or different from one another. I live with my partner in a one-bedroom apartment, so trust me, I know the feeling. As the days get cooler & darker, and everything outside can feel so out of control, I turn to Judaism for some wisdom on how to turn inward and take back control of even the most dull and mundane days. In this episode, I explain how to sanctify (set apart) time and space in your daily life to reconnect. I’ll walk you through my 5-step process for sanctifying spaces and times that will make you feel more grounded, happy, and fulfilled. Happy listening!

After years of running cooking workshops from her own home, Jackie Bastianon noticed she had grown a significant community following. That’s when she approached Georgia Fox and together, they decided to share their journey of sustainable cooking, eating and living and turned a hobby into a social enterprise.
Today, these two inspiring women run the PlantEd Project — a sustainable living brand bringing plant-based cooking, eating and living into the everyday lives of people in the Ottawa community.
In today’s episode, I talk to Jackie and Georgia all about the early beginnings of the PlantEd Project. We discuss inclusivity in the plant-based community and the importance of taking a compassionate approach. Jackie and Georgia also debunk the biggest misconceptions they hear about plant-based eating and living, and share their pro-tips for simple ways to eat more mindfully.

“No one should be ashamed of their life story” is Erica Geller’s motto. After almost five years of suffering from an eating disorder that nearly hospitalized her dozens of times, she’s working to spread as much awareness and positivity as possible, and is using her own story to break the stigma.
In this episode, Erica and I candidly discuss everything from lessons learned in recovery, misconceptions about eating disorders and walking yourself through disordered eating thoughts.
I also provide a brief conversation in the pre-interview about fasting on Yom Kippur as it relates to disordered eating and mental health.

Combining her experience as a lifestyle editor and her passion for all thing’s Judaism, Rebekah is on a mission to encourage Jews around the world to “speak in a louder, prouder collective voice about their own Judaism—not just once or twice a year, but every day.” She’s making that mission a reality by sharing creative entertaining and lifestyle ideas, holiday inspiration, party details, curated home essentials, crafts, and recipes, all with a Jewish focus.
I am obsessed with Rebekah’s blog and was overflowing with questions for her. In this Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year) themed episode, we talked about everything from how and why Rebekah got started, the importance of diverse representation in the lifestyle and magazine industry, and (if you listen to the end) Rebekah shares practical tips for beautifying Jewish celebrations in your own home, making the high holidays special even while staying home this year, and her advice for first time high holiday hosts!
