Episode 79: Frum Minimalism with Ellie Azerad
In response to today’s oversaturated consumerist society, the pendulum has swung and Minimalism is a thing. A minimalist lifestyle involves intentionally living with fewer possessions, focusing on what truly matters and rejecting unnecessary clutter and consumerism to achieve simplicity and intentionality. While trending in the secular world, can Minimalism be adapted to the frum lifestyle? Ellie Azerad, founder of Frum Minimalism, argues yes. She also believes that principles of minimalism reflect Torah values. Ellie teaches frum women how to simplify their lives so they can live life to the fullest. And she’s joined us on this DMC to give us the lowdown – and amazing stories – of how mindful decluttering and shifting your mindset about possessions can have transformative effects.
On this episode, we discuss:
The definition of minimalism
How it’s trending in the secular world and where it’s coming from
“Frum minimalism” and how it compares
Minimalism as a response to materialism
Principles of The Minimalist Makeover course
Takeaway tips

Life is complicated, and with life experiences come complex emotions. But embracing conflicting emotions with strategies such as paradoxical thinking can make all the difference. This is the topic that therapist, dating coach and columnist Sara Eisemann wanted to DMC with us on this episode because she knew the life-changing impact of “both/and” thinking, which looks something like this: “I’m both so grateful for my son’s bar mitzvah and overwhelmed hosting my family.” Instead of fighting those conflicting emotions, we embrace them – and drop the guilt. You’ll learn about this and more in this fascinating conversation.
In this episode we discuss:
What Sara’s aims to accomplish in all the work she does, from clinical therapist to Family First columnist to Director of Education for Core.
What “both/and” means and how it can be applied to life experiences
Typical paradoxes in our lives and how we can make space for them
How to handle negative emotions in a healthy way
The role of acceptance

Can we be honest for a minute? Of course we can, we’re having a DMC! So let’s get real about being honest about communal issues. In other words, we know our community isn’t immune to its share of societal challenges, but is it possible to be sincere in acknowledging the issues while sincerely trying to improve them? And while we’re being honest about the problems, how can we maintain emunah and positivity as we’re face-to-face with those challenges?
We discuss these questions and more with Keshet Starr, CEO Of ORA, the Organization for the Resolution of Agunot. Keshet is an attorney, author, activist, speaker and nonprofit leader. She’s one of those people in the trenches doing the work but has managed to maintain her sensitivity, sincerity and emunah. Keshet is a true role model in many ways.
In this DMC we discuss,
How Keshet got into the work of agunah advocacy
How we can be honest about real issues in the community while maintaining positivity and emunah
The first steps in making changes once we’ve identified a problem
Effective and ineffective methods of making change

We’ve entered the Three Weeks, and the Jewish calendar instructs us to have mourning on our mind. Yet it can be challenging to embrace the meaning of mourning smack in the middle of summer barbeques and road trips.

Links Family is an organization that provides support to children and teens who have lost a parent. Through her own personal loss, and her work with Links, Sarah Rivkah has learned so much about the process and significance of mourning and how it can apply to all of us, even if we haven’t lost a loved one.
On this DMC we discuss:
How and why Sarah Rivkah founded Links Family
What Sarah Rivkah has learned about mourning
The various forms of loss in the human experience
How Sarah Rivkah’s experience informs her understanding of the loss of the Beis Hamikdash
