Introducing Verses, a new podcast from The Jewish Living Lab. On each episode Rabba Rachel Kohl-Finegold in Montreal and Anita Silvert in Chicago select a song from the Broadway canon and match it with a selection from the Biblical canon putting the texts in conversation with one another.
Watch for episode 1 launching later this month!

The land you have always wanted to go to turns out not to be what you expected as hosts Anita and Rabba Rachel discuss the connections between immigrants to America in West Side Story and the Promised Land.

As Verses' second season continues Rachel and Anita ask if it all started with the apple and wonder what it was like for Adam to see this brand new world in an episode pairing the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden and the 1966 show "The Apple Tree" with its song "Beautiful World”.
