Eliana Light (Orah Hi, Light Lab) is on the pod, and we are so pumped to have this literal tzaddik here to talk about her world-famous Jewish music and her job teaching rabbis how to not suck.
(Also, we're sorry for the mediocre video quality! This is Antonia's first solo episode on the road, and she fucked up the video.🙂 But she didn't fuck up the interview!)
We Yenta about:
- Limmud gossip
- Why do prayer services suck so much?
- Eliana is a literal musical hero
- How to have GOOD MUSIC at shul
- Jewish songleader culture is insane
