The bad apology has become a major feature of modern American life. “I'm sorry to anyone I might have offended” more often than not boils down to “I'm sorry I got caught. Are the impacted obligated to forgive? And more importantly, what is the process for earning such forgiveness? Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg draws on the teaching of 12th century philosopher and Torah scholar Maimonides for her latest, On Repentance and Repair, which explores the steps for repairing mistakes, both large and small. In addition to her rabbinical practice, Ruttenberg is a prolific author an popular online champion of progressive politics.

Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg talks about what it means to make amends and if a person wronged has an obligation to forgive the person who hurt them.

Every spiritual tradition teaches that we are all interconnected. Yet when we are faced with the world's many injustices, we often want to turn away and isolate ourselves rather than feel the full measure of our grief, anger, and fear. In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg about how we can choose another path—one of openly encountering others with deep connection, accessing our prophetic voice to speak truth to power, and taking action while staying grounded in our spiritual selves.  Give a listen to this moving conversation exploring connecting to “the still, small voice” within yourself; Rabbi Nachman's practice of the inner scream; allowing our bodies and hearts to process what we see in the world; our obligations as bystanders of harm; leaving your “spiritual bubble” to engage in real activism; speaking uncomfortable truths; the five steps involved in the work of repentance and repair; why the best spiritual practice is done in community; the practice of rest as a social justice issue; prayer, the work of the heart; and much more.

We're often told to forgive and forget, but it's important to not skip over the repair for what was broken. Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg is an author, speaker and scholar in residence at the National Council of Jewish Women. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss apology, consequences and restitution in the modern world using the works of a medieval philosopher as her guide. Her book is “On Repentance And Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World.”

Apologies are hard. It's not fun to admit wrongdoing and commit to a different set of actions. American representatives and presidents, particularly, rarely apologize while holding office. But that's not for lack of mistakes that American leaders have made recently or deeper in the country's collective past. Other countries expect their leaders to apologize for mistakes the country has made currently or in the past. Why are Americans often against offering apologies and repenting for their actions? And, what does a better apology and repentance look like? Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg is an award-winning author and writer. Her latest book is “On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World.” She joins the show to discuss how personally and collectively, Americans must do the work of repentance and repair or they will repeat the same mistakes.

Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg writes about how important it is to repent for what we've done to damage other people in the book "On Repentance And Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World."

In On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World, Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg offers a crucial new perspective to navigating conflict, applying an ancient framework to the country's most painful contemporary issues—from systemic racism and the legacy of enslavement to the #MeToo movement and Native American land rights—as well as personal transgressions. In conversation with Soraya Chemaly, a journalist, activist, and author of Rage Becomes Her.  This program was held on September 21, 2022 in partnership with the National Council of Jewish Women. 

We're back!!! Welcome to a new series about grieving and life from The Mash-Up Americans. Grief, Collected is where we explore how grief moves through our bodies, our families, and our communities — and why we need to feel it all in order to transform our future. Launching November 15 — with new episodes every Tuesday and new meditations every Friday. Grief, like joy, is one of our human conditions. Yet it is the one we, as Americans, are the least willing to confront, even as it becomes more and more essential to do so. We prize pushing forward, but maybe it's time to pause. As we emerge from the catastrophic losses of the pandemic — and wrestle with the regular traumas of modern life — how do we heal ourselves to plant seeds for our future? What wisdom can we call upon to create hope for a more introspective, joyful, and honest culture? We're talking to leading psychologists, researchers, musicians, and authors, including George Bonnano, Natalia Skritskaya, Daniela Gesundheit, Alexander Chee, Linda Thai, Dorothy Hollinger, Wendy Macnaughton, Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg, and adrienne maree brown. bit.ly/meet-grief-collectedSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We all mess up. Sometimes in small ways, but other times big ones. Sometimes privately, other times publicly. We don't mean to - or maybe we do in the momentum, but feel remorse after the fact. Either way, we all will, at some point, hurt someone. And we may also suffer repercussions. Whether personal, communal, or societal. Question is, what do we do after that? How do we repair the harm, and make amends? How do we find a way back to grace, connection, community, redemption and repair? Is that even possible in all cases? And if so, what are the steps? And what about forgiveness? Does that, and should it, be a part of the process? Turns out, there is a well-defined set of steps, a path, that very few know about. Today, we explore a practical, though not always easy, 5-step path to repair, reconciliation, and redemption based on ancient, universal wisdom, that she details in her newest book, On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World. We talk about each step, why it's there, how to step into it, and some challenging “edge case” and how to both do the work and set expectations. And, we also talk about forgiveness, with Rabbi Danya offering a powerful alternative take on it.You can find Rabbi Danya at: Website | Twitter | InstagramIf you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversations we had with Jonathan Haidt about the free exchange of ideas, cancel culture, and the line between growth and harm.Check out our offerings & partners: My New Book SparkedMy New Podcast SPARKEDVisit Our Sponsor Page For a Complete List of Vanity URLs & Discount Codes.Zelle: When anyone sends you money or if you need to get paid back, always ask for Zelle®!

Vox's Marin Cogan talks with Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg about her new book On Repentance And Repair, which is about how to make amends in the modern world. They talk about the difference between repentance and forgiveness, why making amends is so important, and how a "five step plan" for repairing harm drawn from the Jewish tradition can serve as a guide even for navigating repair in modern, complex issues. And, merely apologizing . . . is not enough.

Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg, award-winning writer and author of the book ON REPENTANCE AND REPAIR: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World, joins Jillian to talk about the life changing power of making amends. She discusses taking responsibility, learning from mistakes, and repairing relationships in all aspects of our lives. Being able to focus on the person you upset allows you both to heal, grow closer, and develop personally. The Rabbi takes us through the 5-step process of 1) Confession: fully owning what you did, without judgment. 2) Starting to change: figuring out why you did it and what you need to do about it. 3) Amends: asking the person you harmed what you can do to make it right. 4) Apology: truly understanding how hurt the other person is. 5) Making different choices moving forward.Guest Links:Website: https://danyaruttenberg.net/ Twitter: @TheRaDRInstagram: rabbidanyaruttenbergFor 25% off The Fitness App by Jillian Michaels, go to www.thefitnessapp.com/podcastdealFollow us on Instagram @JillianMichaels and @MartiniCindyJillian Michaels Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1880466198675549Email your questions to JillianPodcast@gmail.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It feels bad to feel bad! So often feelings and embodiments of anger and despair are punished or policed - especially in women and people of color. Maybe that's why we so often turn past the book of Lamentations: it leans fully into those shamed expressions of outrage, pain and grief. We don't want to feel those feelings, but right there in our sacred text we are given permission to not only feel them but to express them fully and forcefully. Being able to give voice to our outrage before God and toward God, allows us to then channel our anger at systems of oppression and violence and to uphold and amplify other voices that cry out for justice.Sermon begins at minute 11:30Lamentations 1.8-22 and 2.10-22Image: Photo by Kelly from PexelsHymn: VT 708, As the Waters Rise Around Us, 2006 GIA Publications.

In this special episode, Rabbi Deborah Waxman, Ph.D and Rabbi Sandra Lawson discuss their respective processes of preparing for the High Holidays. This isn't about leading services, but about how, as human beings, they undertake an accounting of the soul, leading to repentance for their own actions and forgiveness toward others. The two friends and colleagues delve into Maimonides as interpreted by Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg in her new book On Repentance and Repair. (Among his many contributions, Maimonides, a medieval Torah scholar, philosopher and physician, outlined five steps needed to make true repentance.) Rabbi Sandra describes her difficult relationship with her late mother, and the forgiveness needed to truly care for her mother during illness. The two widen the lens and examine repentance from a societal point of view: how can society account and repent for harms caused to so many groups: Blacks, indigenous Americans, Asian Americans and so on. The two agree that an American reckoning with its troubled legacy is needed. “I think about teshuvah and when it comes to racial justice work, my focus first of all, is primarily within our Jewish spaces,” Lawson says. “I have found that many Jews who benefit from white privilege tend to continue to look outward on racial justice in the larger world, which is fine. But that also needs to be with our own internal work.” Subscribe by Email This podcast is produced by Reconstructing Judaism.

Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg, author of the new book On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World. This show is not typically interfaith, but when the opportunity to read Rabbi Ruttenberg's latest arose, I leapt at the chance. I've followed her on Twitter for years and admire her work immensely. On Repentance and Repair is an immensely helpful book that helps reframe what repentance, repair, and forgiveness mean. Those terms are loaded for people whose faith was formed in white evangelicalism. They have often been used and abused by people in positions of authority to manipulate those they've wronged into “forgiving” them as a way of absolving themselves and maintaining their positions of influence. Rabbi Ruttenberg explores the value and other meanings of these words in a way that can benefit all people, regardless of their faith or lack thereof.  If you do not have a local bookstore or are in the Amazon ebook ecosystem, use this link to buy the book and to support the show.

American culture focuses on letting go of grudges and redemption narratives instead of the perpetrator's obligations or recompense for harmed parties. As survivor communities have pointed out, these emphases have too often only caused more harm. But Danya Ruttenberg knew there was a better model, rooted in the work of the medieval philosopher Maimonides.   For Maimonides, upon whose work Ruttenberg elaborates, forgiveness is much less important than the repair work to which the person who caused harm is obligated. The word traditionally translated as repentance really means something more like return, and in this book, returning is a restoration, as much as is possible, to the victim, and, for the perpetrator of harm, a coming back, in humility and intentionality, to behaving as the person we might like to believe we are. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/710956/on-repentance-and-repair-by-danya-ruttenberg/ For access to the full Orange Wave series, click here: https://irreverent.supportingcast.fm/products/the-orange-wave-a-history-of-the-religious-right-since-1960 Pre-Order Brad's new book: https://www.amazon.com/Preparing-War-Extremist-Christian-Nationalism/dp/1506482163 To Donate: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/BradleyOnishi Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/straightwhiteamericanjesus SWAJ Apparel is here! https://straight-white-american-jesus.creator-spring.com/listing/not-today-uncle-ron Learn more about your ad choices.

Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg, author of "Of Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World"

Can people really change? How does change really happen? Steve met with Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg over zoom to discuss these questions and to consider a better way of seeking repentance in the modern age.

Named "rabbi to watch" by Newsweek, Ruttenberg is Scholar-in-Residence at the National Council of Jewish Women. She is the author of 7 other books about the intersection of Jewish theology, parenting, feminism, and other topics. Listen to Steve and Danya discuss how we can improve our practices of repentance and repair.

From abortion, to birth control, to LGBTQ+ issues, the Jewish faith informs many advocates, leaders, and believer's work on sexual and reproductive health and rights. Rabbi Danya Ruttenburg, Scholar in Residence at the National Council of Jewish Women, sits down with us to talk about the ways Judaism and reproductive health and rights intersect. Judaism teaches that abortion is permitted and is often required if the life of the pregnant person is threatened. Some stories in Jewish texts make it explicitly clear that, if the head has not emerged from the body, the life of the pregnant person takes precedent. Other stories in ancient texts describe the permitted use of medication abortion. In Jewish communities, these are the stories that inform conversations relating to conception, personhood, and the question of when life begins. In the more patriarchal communities in Judaism, many practitioners approach Rabbis for permission to use birth control and continue to tie birth control usage to marriage status. Still, while Judaism has threads of pro-natalism and patriarchy within it, contraception is a much less hot-button topic than in Catholicism. In fact, when it comes to birth control, many methods are described in the Talmud. These methods include the mokh (an absorbent, wool insert) as well as the kos shel ikkarin (an herbal mix made up of roots).  Many scholars argue that mentions of LGBTQ+ issues in Jewish writings are consistently up to interpretation. Still, Jewish texts mention upwards of six or seven different sex and gender identities, and instead of rejecting, banishing, or ignoring, Judaism seeks to find ways to welcome gender nonconforming or gender non-binary people. LinksNational Council of Jewish Women on TwitterNational Council of Jewish Women on FacebookRabbi Danya Ruttenburg's Twitter ThreadTranstorah.org Take ActionFollow the National Council of Jewish Women on Facebook and Twitter! To learn more about the ways LGBTQ+ issues and Judaism intersect, find transtorah.org here. If you are a faith leader, take the initative to listen to LGBTQ+ and repro voices.Support the show (https://www.reprosfightback.com/take-action#donate)

In November 2018, Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg posted a tweet in which she questions the traditional use of the word “inclusion” by explaining how she views it as a minimum and challenges us to go further. She says: It's not about inclusion or even celebration. It's about expansion. Our culture is better when disabled folks expand its ideas about embodiment. "Our culture is better when centering POC shifts its paradigms. Our culture is better when nonbinary & trans ppl uproot its gendered BS. Inclusion = you're allowed to be here. Celebration = your being here is great!! Expansion = we will grow and change because of what you offer. She goes on to say she is “grateful for all the visionaries pushing for a more expansive and radical way of being in the world today.” Welcome to Season 3 of Beyond the Curriculum. During this series, we will hear from visionaries who will share their ideas about “inclusion” and the way they push for a more expansive and radical way of being in the world today. We will be looking at inclusion and how creating more inclusive environments provides spaces where all learners can thrive. We will hear from teachers and advocates who will help us gain perspective on what inclusion means and how educators can be intentional as they create more inclusive environments. We'll find out about common barriers that prevent inclusion, some ways inclusion is done well, and how general education teachers can partner with both special education teachers and community members to take our students, schools, and communities… beyond the curriculum. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/beyondthecurriculum/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/beyondthecurriculum/support

Mark’s guest this week is the award-winning author and writer, Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg. Danya is the author of numerous books, including Surprised By God: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Religion, and has written for The New York Times, The Atlantic, Salon, Time, and Newsweek, among many other publications. She currently serves as Scholar in Residence at the National Council of Jewish Women, and the passage she has chosen to discuss today is Exodus 32, the story of the golden calf. Danya begins by offering a very animated summary of the passage, its context, and its significance for her, which leads to a look at the different interpretations of Aaron’s actions within the passage. She and Mark then delve into the details of Moses’ involvement, the character of God in the Torah, and Danya’s perspective on the failure of adaptive leadership demonstrated in this text. They also examine the potential reasons for Aaron’s inability to ‘meet the moment’, the difference between leaders who give people what they want as opposed to what they need, and Danya concludes by sharing the lessons she has learned about humankind which relate directly back to the chosen passage. Episode Highlights:  · Danya’s summary of the passage, its context, and its significance for her · Interpretations of Aaron’s actions within the passage · One of Moses’ greatest moments · The character of God in Torah · The failure of adaptive leadership in both this passage and today’s world · Why Aaron didn’t ‘meet the moment’ · Leaders who give people what they want vs. what they need · The lessons about humankind that Danya has learned Quotes: “This is one of these great moments that gets cited as to how we understand what a prophet is.” “If You do that, blot me out of Your Torah.” “This is a picture of God that is constantly learning and growing and changing.” “I believe the pronoun for God is God, because God is not a ‘dude’.” “I think the golden calf story is a story about the failure of adaptive leadership.” “Major change always involves loss, and adaptive leadership is about helping people to bridge that gap.” “The substitute teacher got kids who had way bigger needs than he expected and he didn’t meet the moment.” “Your need is legitimate and let’s find a healthy way to help you express it.” “We need to find a new way of coping to meet this moment.” “It’s…potentially, you know, an adaptive leadership moment.” “People need to hear, ‘You’re not bad’.” “Clean up your mess!” “Doing the hard work then makes you free.” “I don’t think you can read ‘The Golden Calf’ without talking about trauma.” “It’s not somebody’s fault if they don’t have tools.”  ] Exodus 32 - https://www.sefaria.org/Exodus.32.1-35?lang=bi&with=all&lang2=en  Links: The Rabbi’s Husband homepage: The Rabbi's Husband Mark’s Twitter: Mark Gerson - The Rabbi's Husband (@markgerson) The Rabbi’s Husband Newsletter contact: daniel@therabbishusband.com

“So it's not necessarily an overnight thing. And the only person, the only person or people who get to decide if a person should be forgiven, are the ones harmed.” Season two of The Confessional is coming very, very soon. In the meantime, I invited my good friend Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg on the show to offer a different perspective on repentance and forgiveness.

Not only were the conversations I had with the speakers so incredibly life-giving, but the experience of going live with the attendees and engaging with them more intimately reminded me powerfully of how listeners of this podcast are full, powerful human beings with families, jobs, and hobbies.    Please go check out each of the speakers’ work: follow them on Twitter, buy their books, and let’s continue to be in conversation about parenting with healthy spirituality.   Show Highlights: Barbara Brown Taylor shared six different ideas parents can help to re-enchant the world with our children. Next up, Casper ter Kuile shared the problem we all are facing as a culture of loneliness, and how we can begin to address it with ritual and belonging.  Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg talked about how we find theology and profound spirituality in the act of parenting. Lauren Duca discussed the different ways that young people have been boxed out of connection to a sense of agency. Next up, we had Danny Cortez, who talked about parenting and the patriarchy. Rev. Jacqui Lewis helped parents to tell a better story for their children. Our job is to be story weavers or to midwife a story to help a child midwife a story, to own an account, to change a story, and to be transformed. Micky Scottbey Jones discussed Enneagram and Parenting. Sometimes Enneagram spaces can feel very white and evangelical, so I appreciated having Micky’s perspective as a certified Enneagram instructor.  Jessica Taft goes through five different assumptions, how to become aware of these assumptions, examine them, and disrupt them.  Rachel Goble and Matthew Paul Turner talked about the ethics of telling children’s stories.  Last, but certainly not least, Science Mike shared with us what it’s like to parent after faith deconstruction.   Links (affiliates included): Parenting Forward Conference 2020 Sessions - https://www.parentingforwardconference.com/2020-sessions Join us at the Parenting Forward Patreon Team - https://www.patreon.com/cindywangbrandt Parenting Forward, the Book - https://amzn.to/2GB6eDB3   *** EPISODE CREDITS: If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Danny Ozment.

In our culture, stubborn denials, glib apologies and quick comebacks often overwhelm any practice of repentance. The Judaic practice of teshuvah shows us a better way.

This week is Passover and Rabbi Rick Jacobs, with special guest Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg, discuss the Torah portion read on Passover, focusing especially on the themes of power and powerlessness. What are we obligated to do when we are in a position of powerlessness? And on the flip side, what are we obligated to do in an unjust system when we aren't those who are oppressed? What are our obligations when we are free? How do we build a liberated society?

Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg - author, teacher, and Twitter maven - talks about her latest book on the spirituality of parenting, and how teaching Torah in spaces of open disagreement is really kind of the point.

WBZ's Laurie Kirby speaks with Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg about how being a mom is a spiritual endeavor.

This week on Relationships 2.0 my guest is Danya Ruttenberg author of Nurture the Wow: Finding Spirituality in the Frustration, Boredom, Tears, Poop, Desperation, Wonder, and Radical Amazement of Parenting About the book: A deeply affecting, funny, insightful meditation that challenges readers to find the spiritual meaning of parenting. Every day, parents are bombarded by demands. The pressures of work and life are relentless; our children’s needs are often impossible to meet; and we rarely, if ever, allow ourselves the time and attention necessary to satisfy our own inner longings. Parenthood is difficult, demanding, and draining. And yet, argues Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg, if we can approach it from a different mindset, perhaps the work of parenting itself can offer the solace we seek. Rooted in Judaism but incorporating a wide-range of religious and literary traditions, Nurture the Wowasks, Can ancient ideas about relationships, drudgery, pain, devotion, and purpose help make the hard parts of a parent’s job easier and the magical stuff even more so? Ruttenberg shows how parenting can be considered a spiritual practice—and how seeing it that way can lead to transformation. This is a parenthood book, not a parenting book; it shows how the experiences we have as parents can change us for the better. Enlightening, uplifting, and laugh-out-loud funny, Nurture the Wow reveals how parenthood—in all its crazy-making, rage-inducing, awe and joy-filled moments—can actually be the path to living fully, authentically, and soulfully. About the author: Danya Ruttenberg was named one of ten “rabbis to watch” by Newsweek and one of the “50 most influential women rabbis” by The Forward. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Salon, and elsewhere. Her first book, Surprised by God,was nominated for a Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish literature and was a Hadassah Book Club selection. She lives in the Chicago area with her husband and children.
