Show Notes

Tonight, Providence Mayor Brett Smiley will light the City Hall Menorah to celebrate the eight nights of Hannukah. And this year, the event will hit close to home. He recently converted to Judaism. Before the holidays, Steph Machado sat down with the mayor and Rabbi Sarah Mack, the senior rabbi at Temple Beth-El, to talk about the journey he’s been taking for the past year.
