Much like we have done in the past, the new season of The Empty Office Podcast features a discussion with a prominent religious leader in Anchorage. This episode features Rabbi Abram Goodstein from Congregation Beth Shalom in Anchorage, which is the largest Jewish organization in Alaska. Rabbi Goodstein grew up in Anchorage and is a graduate of Service High School. He holds a degree in Religious Studies from the University of Oregon.
In response to the request to choose someone to join the Alaska State Legislature to offer help and guidance, Rabbi Goodstein chose the biblical figure of Rebecca.
