Welcome to Regeneration, a podcast about reimagining Jewish customs in a modern world—making memory, making meaning, and making it your own. Hosts Debra Weinberg and Eileen Levinson explore how families, friends, and the Jew-curious can revive rituals with authenticity, creativity, humor, and joy. From Shabbat candles to everyday blessings, the show is a space for connection, curiosity, and building a Jewish life that feels alive right now.

On today’s episode, we welcome Rabbi Nina Beth Cardin, who thinks deeply and lives deeply in these life cycles, particularly in two major ways: through the environment, and through issues of infertility. In this episode, we talk about the responsibilities the individual has to the community and vice versa, the elasticity of ritual, and the ritual of making lemons into lemonade.
In this episode, we welcome Rabbi Josh Feigelson, PhD, President & CEO at the Institute for Jewish Spirituality – a haven for those looking for Jewish mindfulness.

At Recustom, we have a saying: We want to help you make ritual your own, so you can welcome whatever life brings. Rituals are a way to ready ourselves against the unpredictability of life. In this episode, we consider rituals as a way to usher in gratitude, and to be reminded of what we already have.
