No More SHOULD’s at my Rosh HaShanah Table

When Karen Cinnamon sent me an invitation to chat on her podcast, Your Jewish Life Your Way, I was intrigued and honored. She was primed to talk about eco-friendly and seasonally inspired holiday celebrations as we count down to Rosh HaShanah on Labor Day.

She knows my sweet spot.

Karen is a master conversationalist with the best British accent. She’s an internationally renowned Jewish lifestyles brand expert and host. Her intention is to help listeners celebrate living their Jewish and Jew (ish) lives while joyfully understanding traditions and rituals.

I think she’s uplifting and motivating.

We covered lots of  Rosh HaShanah territory in this episode, including:

How to start new beginnings both spiritually and through action (YES. We’re talking reducing food waste and composting again:).

…and my favorite moment of inspiration from Karen: NO MORE SHOULD’S. Feel like you SHOULD break out your Mom’s china and sterling? It’s always a great time to set the table beautifully in honor of the holidays.

But do it your way. No more guilt. No more should’s.
