In this episode...

Karen sits down with Smashing Life member Emily Cohen for an honest chat about contemporary Jewish life – from dealing with antisemitism in the workplace to what it’s like to be a single Jewish woman in 2023. They cover everything from how Emily started wearing a Star of David in response to an antisemitic boss, to what it’s like engaging in Jewish life as a single thirty-something woman, to what exactly it is that makes the Smashing Life community so empowering.

You’ll find out:

  • Emily’s advice for anyone dealing with antisemitism in the workplace
  • How non-Jews can make workplaces inclusive for Jews
  • Why so many people don’t think of Jews as a minority
  • What congregations can do to make themselves more welcoming to single Jews
  • Why Jewish singles events need to stop cutting off at age 36
  • What it’s like being on Jewish dating apps in 2023
  • Why Jewish community’s become more important to Emily over time
  • Why Shemini Atzeret and Yom Kippur are Emily’s favorite Jewish holidays
