Allison Joseph grew up in a "normal" Jewish family - it was good to be Jewish, but not too Jewish - and that was absolutely fine for her until she experienced a life-changing, traumatic event. For years her Judaism was connected to guilt, not faith, freedom, or deep meaning. In today's episode, Allison shares with us her journey to Orthodoxy (and what that means to and looks like for her), how she began the organization she now runs, Jew in the City, attachment styles, and how Hashem - and through Hashem, herself.

Welcome to the Oh My God Podcast, Season TWO, with your Co-Hosts Zelda Lebovits and Chana Rochel Cohen Portnoy!
In Season 1, the podcast aimed to talk about success in the face of failure, modern Judaism, and real life. Season 2 will deliver the same message, but even more potently.
Zelda and Chana Rochel have individually and collectedly been challenged by the Jewish system they grew up in. Through their evolution, through their questions, failures, mistakes, and heartbreaks, they have begun to untangle much of what was keeping them in survival mode so they could truly be set free to thrive.
This is what they’ll dissect each week with you: The Jewish journey. Real. Raw. And vulnerable. Because that is the only thing that can truly change lives. And maybe even save them. You’re only one episode away from being more honest with yourself.
