A joyful transition:
After 10 years of co-hosting and asking us to reimagine what Judaism can be, Dan Libenson recently stepped down as co-host of the Judaism Unbound podcast. As Founder of Judaism Unbound, Dan interviewed 500+ guests, secured 3 million downloads, and taught us to "Marie Kondo our Judaism"—asking what truly sparks meaning and serves our lives. He'll continue co-hosting The Oral Talmud with Benay Lappe, while Rena Yehuda Newman joins Lex Rofeberg as our new dynamic duo for the Judaism Unbound podcast this March.
We've grown from one voice (Dan) to two (with Lex) to now a multi-vocal chorus, living out the early hopes and musings of our founder. As we build upon this foundation, we invite you to be part of the next chapter:
