Show Notes
Early on in my career, I packed my bags and moved to West Virginia to work as a journalist. That’s where I first met Rabbi Victor Urecki, rabbi at B’nai Jacob Synagogue.
I immediately appreciated who he was within the walls of the synagogue, but outside — Rabbi Urecki engaged with the community, often in interfaith conversations, consistently as a positive presence for West Virginians.
In this episode, we talk about belonging, religion as a tool to bring people together, and how Rabbi Urecki’s meeting the moment with new traditions.
