In this episode of Kaddish, listeners share their stories of chosen family and grieving the losses of loved ones. Where is there room in the Jewish tradition to honor the role that chosen family, logical family, plays in our lives? How have others mourned the losses of chosen family? Featuring the voices of Rabbi Vivie Mayer, as well as Rebecca, Noga, Meryl, and Sarah.
