S1E16 - The perfect storm: How one New Yorker found her way to Newfoundland—and never left
Manage episode 307405344 series 2896293
Fifteen years ago, Elizabeth Loder moved from New York to Newfoundland for what was meant to be a short meteorology assignment. Fast-forward to 2021: Loder, now married and raising three children in St. John's, is a lynchpin of the local Jewish community—a baal tefillah—while still working as meteorologist and engineer.
What has she observed as an outsider welcomed in? How has she brought her knowledge of Judaism to such a small community? How does she handle raising her children Jewishly, when they're surrounded by non-Jews? Loder answers all these questions in this deep dive into Jewish life on the Rock.
