When you're Jewish, it seems like the holidays are always around the corner, and there always seems to be some sort of competition. Whether it's the High Holidays just as school gets into full swing, or how Chanukah and Passover often, but confusingly not always, overlap with Christmas and Easter. There's a lot of explaining to do, and partnerships to be built. That's what led my mother into my elementary school classrooms, where she fried latkes and read Herschel and Chanukah Goblins for me and my Christian classmates. It's also what led her into interfaith clergy work, and a Passover partnership with the local Catholic Church. As for my father? Well, he used his engineering skills to build Chanukah holiday decorations for the front yard, which he still claims was easier than hanging Christmas lights on the house. And by the time I got old enough to fully express myself, and my complicated Jewish identity, it was a holiday concert that finally tipped me over the edge. This episode also features commentary from two important experts—1) Dr. Laura Yares of Michigan State, both on the experiences of 19th century American Jews, and her own experiences as a 21st century immigrant Jewish American, and 2) Rabbi Jen Gubitz, co-host of the OMFG Podcast and founder of Modern Jewish Couples where she trains clergy, counsels interfaith couples on how to build their own unique Jewish or Jew-“ish” home. 72 Miles features the stories of three separate interfaith Jewish families–two real, one not, and one mine. Together, they trace 150 years of Kentucky history, with experiences that resonate today—about being Jewish in America, about being Jewish and southern at the same time. About being Jewish, being interfaith, and the blending of the two. So strap in, and take a ride with me, up and down I65, or back and forth on the L&N Railroad.

From Sunday School in Nashville to Sunday dinner at Granny's, my family bushogged our way towards a cohesive religious identity. Even as my mother was returning to the faith of her childhood, my father was moving further away from his, and towards an unlikely home — The American Society of Friends. Introducing a third faith in our household seemed to solidify our identity, rather than shatter it, and my brother and I were quick to absorb the tenets of our father's new faith, a chance we got every summer, for a few years, when we attended SAYMA – the Southern Appalachian Yearly Meeting, including a short stint in Quaker youth group. Still, as much as Quaker ideals of compassion, equality, love, and simplicity lined up with our own Jewish and family values, my mother was deeply uncomfortable with the idea of our being both, and she dearly wanted us to be Jewish. But towards the end of her life, having lived her own experience and used it in turn to counsel dozens of young interfaith couples, she changed her tune...slightly.Special thanks this episode to Jacob's Ladder, for use of their original music in Chapter 7: Back & Forth.

My mother passed away on September 14, 2021 after a years-long battle with cancer that cost her control of the left side of her face. We had been recording for just over a year, but there was still so much more she wanted to say. After she died, I went through her journals, to learn the perspectives that she was hesitant to share with me even at the end of her life. My father contributed by archiving the family VHS tapes my mother had saved all these years, including a copy of my Bar Mitzvah and my mother's adult Bat Mitzvah. Together, with the stories she shared while still alive, they tell a complicated and often lonely journey of a woman struggling to find her place in life, and a community that she could call her own, which thankfully, and at long last, she finally did...in Judaism.Special gratitude to my good friend, Caitlin, who took on the monumental challenge of reading my mother's journal entries for this episode.72 Miles features the stories of three separate interfaith Jewish families–two real, one not, and one mine.

My family moved to Bowling Green in 1989. My brother was turning six, and I was turning three. We rented a house in the country for a few months, then bought the red-brick home on Garrett Drive where we lived for 16 years. We joined the local Presbyterian Church, but didn't quite fit in. It was too conservative, or maybe we were too liberal. My parents struggled to make friends, and my brother and I hated Sunday School. All of which fueled an  identity crisis, and another poignant question posed by my brother from the back seat of the family Oldsmobile. So my mother started exploring. She connected with the local community, searching for a Jewish home that fit her interfaith family. We tried the existing Reform congregation in Nashville, but had a bad experience. For a while we drove to Owensboro, KY on Friday nights—two hours on toll roads through  rural western Kentucky coal country. Finally, my mother got wind of a new Reform congregation forming in Nashville—Congregation Micah. After an open house where she felt welcome and wanted, and with encouragement she made the commitment. For all of us, without really asking. But we'll get there. 72 Miles features the stories of three separate interfaith Jewish families–two real, one not, and one mine.

My parents met at Walnut Street Baptist Church in 1979. My father was there for services, at his mother's request. My mother was there working, as a sign language interpreter. They were married not long after in a different Baptist church, by a group of friends, using an interfaith wedding ceremony they wrote themselves. As a young couple, my parents found their a home at Central Presbyterian Church, in downtown Louisville, where they met my godparents, and made lifelong friends. They even baptized their two children, much to the congregation's delight. We tried to have it both ways, and do all the things as my mother used to say, but that was starting to fall apart the older my brother got, until one day he said to my father, from the backseat of the car, "I'm Jewish. You're not." He was four.Eventually, life took my family south, far from the relatively large Jewish community of Louisville, KY and the support that community can provide. But that's for another chapter.72 Miles features the stories of three separate interfaith Jewish families–two real, one not, and one mine.

My family moved to Bowling Green in 1987, but we weren't the first Jews to live there, far from it. Jews had been settling in Bowling Green for over 150 years, drawn by economic prosperity. Jewish merchants helped open up the American frontier, wherever they could a  stream or railroad to follow. They learned to adapt their faith and traditions to a new place, one where there wasn't a Jewish community to rely on. And when their children grew older, and fell in love, it was sometimes with a local Christian kid. In this episode, I speak with Dr. Laura Yares of Michigan State about 19th century Jewish life, and what it can teach us today. I also speak with Dr. Matt Boxer of Brandeis University about how and why Jews ended up in small towns to begin with.  Along the way, Ben Dubrovsky shares another chapter in the story of Josh, while I share the Jewish history of the Nahm family, four brother who settled in Bowling Green just before the Civil War. The episode finishes with an introduction to a new friend, John Nahm, who grew up in Bowling Green and whose great-grandfather was Sam Nahm, one of the four original brothers and the only one to be buried in Bowling Green. 72 Miles features the stories of three separate interfaith Jewish families–two real, one not, and one mine.

Every interfaith family has at least two sides to its story. Mine features a poor white boy who was the odd duck in his devout Baptist family, and a Detroit Yankee who was raised in a tight-knit Jewish community until she rebelled and ran away to Kentucky. This episode also introduces the second of three families featured in 72 Miles, one that's make-believe. Conjured from the imagination of I.J. Schwartz in an epic Yiddish poem titled New Earth, that follows the life of Josh, a Jewish blacksmith, newly immigrated from Lithuania, who settles in rural Kentucky with his wife and young son. 72 Miles features the stories of three separate interfaith Jewish families–two real, one not, and one mine.

My family has a motto, “We are making memories.” It's a motto that's led us through life's more chaotic moments. The secret to making memories, of course, is how you tell the story. And in my family we strive to tell, and retell, really good stories.  And we're not the only ones. Storytelling is a southern folk tradition, and I come from a long line of master storytellers, a tradition I'm proud to carry on, because some stories just need to be told. Of course, every story deserves some slight embellishment, that's a southern tradition too. Like the time I climbed a 50 foot oak tree at Scout camp, as part of the ropes course, and sensing my fear the Scoutmaster shouted up at me, “Remember, when you tell the story later this tree was at least 200 feet tall!”72 Miles features the stories of three separate interfaith Jewish families–two real, one not, and one mine.

Every story needs a starting point. For years, my mother and I had been talking about how to tell our family's story, and whether our experiences as a Jewish interfaith family would have value for anyone but us. First we imagined a blog, then a life-coaching business, a book, and even a cookbook. Then she was diagnosed with cancer, and suddenly the whole project seemed more important than ever. In January, 2020 we started recording content. In March we launched a crowd-funding campaign. The pandemic hit and derailed all of our plans, but we kept recording content—remotely at first and eventually in-person. We managed to gather our family around the same dining room table where we'd shared hundreds of dinners. We talked, and we told the stories that we've been telling and retelling for decades…this time on tape. It's 72 Miles til Kentucky, and this is the place to start. Enjoy. 72 Miles features the stories of three separate interfaith Jewish families–two real, one not, and one mine.

The I65 killer, sometimes referred to as the Days Inn Killer, was given those names because he targeted victims that worked at hotels along Interstate 65 in Indiana and Kentucky between 1987 and 1989. The cases took many years to be solved and were done so through the use of forensic genetic genealogy. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the I65 killer. It wasn't until 2008 that DNA linked the cases together. And it wasn't until 2022 that the police announced they had identified the killer Harry Edward Greenwell. The good news was that the cases had been solved and the killer identified. The bad news was that Greenwell had died nine years earlier so he would never face the justice that he deserved.

Harry Edward Greenwell is the I65 serial killer. He murdered at least 3 women working at Days Inns in the late 80's, early 90's. He died in 2013, and his wife at the time had no idea he had such a violent past.

Jim writes “I was driving north on I65 in southern Indiana through endless farmland. I was contacted by my dispatch team and told to check my reefer unit on my trailer. They said it was giving them alerts that my cargo temp was too high. I pulled over next to a thick wooded area off of an exit ramp. As i was running diagnostics on my unit, I became aware of the sound of breathing and was overcome by a smell most foul. I reached into the sidebox of my cab and hit my worklights and what I saw standing over me was stuff of horror films. It was HUGE! I froze in place as this thing stared me down. Finally the engine on my reefer unit started up, scaring me and it. I left as fast as my rig could move. I cant explain the feelings of fear being that close to this creature.” Spoke to Jim at length about his encounter and he said that he had encountered something strange a few years back when he was driving home with his young child. Jim said “I was driving down this back country road in Oklahoma and I thought I saw a coyote or a wolf walk out on all fours. This thing stood up like a man. I jerked the truck to miss it and this thing reached out and tried to grab my back bumper. I do not know what it was it was a wolf on a mans body. It was evil whatever it was, it looked evil. The road I was going down has a speed limit of 25 mph and I was doing 90 mph trying to get away. I am a long haul truck driver now but I was in law enforcement and I have seen some of the worst things you can imagine from mangled bodies in car accidents to just about anything you can think of and this scared me more then anything.” I will also be speaking to Mike who is a current law enforcement officer. He shares an encounter he had while doing an investigation. We wrap up with Shirley, Shirley writes “My story, at age 12, I am now 65. There was always an overnight camp out and I remember how excited all of us kids were as we climbed on the bus and it seems like forever to get to wherever we’re going to camp out but I remember they said it was on the edge of the Sierra forest and there was a river or a Creek If we dared to get in it. We didn’t know what that meant but all the more. it was suspenseful. The river was beautiful, but it was too wide for us kids to cross and the water was freezing cold. On October 21st, at the overnight campout in 1966 the night before I turned 13, all of us kids along with the counselors sat around the fire. We learned how to make baked potatoes and hotdogs on a stick. We made s’mores and roasted marshmallows and told ghost stories. One of the counselors disappeared we thought they had gone to the restroom, but in the middle of one of the other councilors telling a story they jumped out and scared the heck out of us and we all fell out laughing after we discovered it was the counselor. It was now time for bed. All the kids slept on the riverbank sandy beach. I knew it was going to be cold in the morning on that beach, so I slept near the camp table. Sometime later I woke up to go to the bathroom. Before I got out of my sleeping bag. The first thing I grabbed was my flashlight as we were all required to bring one with this in the event we needed to go the bathroom in the dark. I unzip my sleeping bag halfway down. I grab my flashlight and I turned it on. As I continued to unzip more, I rolled over to my right, flashlight in hand and I turned and saw a very An unbelievably tall and big silver/white hairy thing standing near the picnic table between me and the other kids that were on the beach. At first, I thought it was the counselors playing a prank, but I realized it was too big, too tall. And when I say this, I really mean it was way too tall and way too big. I remember looking at it and I looked all over and I saw it’s right side was facing me showing me that the arm with way way too long. I’m no biology expert but as I said I’m a voracious reader and I know how our bodies are supposed to look. I looked directly in its eyes, I guess it looked in my direction minutes on my flashlight on and I was puzzled and afraid but not terrified. There was no specific look on its face it just looked and basically ignored me. It looked like a person in the face. Part way down on his forehead around the eyes to just below the chin was no hair and the ears were covered with hair, I mean, all I could see was the eyes, nose, upper lip and mouth was skin I don’t recall in my memory what color the skin was and the rest was hair. I say hair because it was not fuzzy like a bear, dog other kinds of animals it was like our hair. It was straight but I can’t recall how long it was I just remember it covered all of its body except the hand I could see or rather the palm. I remember on the right side that was no hair on the palm. I have no concept of how much time went by, I recall looking into its eyes then looking down at my friends sleeping on the beach and there was dead silence and I recall flashing my flashlight while I was looking at them on the beach and flashing it back at it and it was gone. I heard it walking away, or shall I say I felt it walking away, because I could feel the vibration in the ground, you know kind of like when a big rig truck passes by your house and you can kind of feel that vibration. it was at that point I decided I didn’t really need to go to the bathroom and I slowly zipped up my sleeping bag to cover my head, you know as kids, we think if we can’t be seen we can’t be caught and I recall I was shaking. My flashlight was still in my hands but I don’t recall if it was on and I didn’t go back to sleep for the rest of the night.”

Our main guest this week is guest is Amy Burkert, of gopetfriendly.com, which is – hands down – the best resource I've found for RVers who travel with their pets. And according to our survey – 67% of all RVers do just that. But also this week,  Jennifer also has a special invitation for you to join us May 13-15 for a spontaneous trip to Nashville and the Grand Old Opry! One of the reasons I like GoPetFriendly so much is because Amy and her Husband Rod are fulltime RVers themselves, traveling North America in a Class A with dogs Buster and Ty and documenting thousands of places friendly to pets. Their site is an encyclopedia of travel advice for RVers looking for pet friendly places. Also this week, lots of great questions from our listeners, RV news, traveling tech tips and a great off the beaten path report. Plus Jennifer's special invite, of course! [spp-player] Complete shownotes for Episode 85 of the Roadtreking RV Podcast: JENNIFER'S TIP OF THE WEEK – Meet us in Nashville My tip of the week this week is really an invitation…. And a response to readers and listeners who say they want to meet us on the road. Well, here's your chance… though admittedly this is a bit spontaneous and short notice. Mike and I will be heading down I65 in a couple weeks and we thought, wouldn't it be fun to stop and spend a night at the Grand Old Opry. Then we got to wondering about finding a campground near there and then... would other Roadtrekers care to join us? So… consider this your invitation! We're looking at Saturday May 14 for the Opry. We've already reserved our seats for the 7PM show. We're staying at The Nashville KOA on Music Center Drive, which is near the Opry. Mike and I will come in Friday afternoon, May 13th and leave Sunday the 15th. If you'll be joining us, there's a post about this on our Facebook Group… let us know there. You need to make your own reservations for the Opry and for the campground. But we'd love to meet you…. Or should I say “y'all!” We'll put a link to all this on the shownotes page for this episode at roadtreking-dot-com-forward slash-85. Alas, we won't have our dog, Bo, with us on this trip, It will just be Mike and me. The tip of the week is brought to you by Good Sam, the world's most popular RV organization, now celebrating its 50th year. LISTENER QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK: Ed asks the best way to sell his RV, wondering about Craigs List. He also asks about the best way to accept payment for it. I am NOT a fan of CraigsList. There are way too many reports of fraud, robberies, even murders linked to the site. I recommend RV Trader as a great place to buy or sell a used RV. To sell a Roadtrek, I recommend listing it on Roadtrek International, a chapter of Family Motor Coach Association for Roadtrek owners. Roadtrek International lists a lot of Roadtreks for sale at http://www.roadtrekchapter.org/roadtreks-for-sale. I recommend being paid by a cashier's check. A cashier's check is a draft guaranteed by a bank, drawn from the bank's own funds and signed by a cashier or teller. It's used in place of cash, personal checks, credit cards or money orders. Ben asks about finding backgrounds for mountain biking and off grid camping National Geographic rated the 10 best Mountain Bike areas in the country and two were in Southwest Colorado: As to where to stay… Black Canyon of the Gunnison and Mesa Verde National Parks are two places I can suggest. Great campgrounds, can ride right out of the campsite. The two mountain bike areas in SW Colorado, I suggest: Crested Butte and Durango, Colorado And a listener notes how a recent post on the blog about solar panels helped her understand how they work Sponsoring this part of the podcast is Van City RV in St. Louis, and their Partner Dealerships Creston RV in Kalispell, Montana, and Wagon Trail RV in Las Vegas.
