Judaism Unbound Episode 493: Tarot and Teshuvah - Mandie McGlynn
For Mandie McGlynn, founder of Selah Spiritual Care, tarot can serve as a deeply meaningful modality for Jewish experience. McGlynn joins Dan and Lex on this week’s episode to discuss her use of tarot as part of the preparatory work of the month of Elul (the on-ramp month before the High Holidays), through an initiative she created called “Turning Toward Life.” This episode is the second in a mini-series of Judaism Unbound episodes exploring tarot through Jewish lenses.
[1] We’re honored to share with you a new podcast series that speaks directly to the evolving conversation around Jewish identity, trauma, and resilience. Door to Door is a five-episode journey through four generations of one Jewish family — from a quiet village in Germany to the reverberations of the Holocaust, and into the present-day search for meaning, memory, and continuity. If your Jewish identity is shaped by memory, migration, trauma, or transformation — this podcast is for you. Join our Executive Director Miriam Terlinchamp in this journey focused on pilgrimage and reclamation. You can catch the trailer and episode 1 now!
