Many Paths; One Place
Episode description
Featuring Cantor Debbie Ballard, Founder of My Personal Judaism
“Judaism doesn’t have to fit anybody else’s mold but your own”, says Cantor Debbi Ballard.
She asks people to consider, “What does your Judaism look like and what does it mean for you to be Jewish.” Cantor Debbi Ballard has 30 years of experience in serving the Jewish community. She is a Jewish community professional, spiritual leader and experiential educator. She has always been an independent and strong minded woman. From an early age, Cantor Debbi was passionate about Judaism being accessible to all people. Although she is a rule follower she has the courage to question rules and pave new paths.
Her new business, My Personal Judaism, was born out of her desire to create a new resource for the Jewish community. Cantor Debbi’s mission is “driven by the belief that yes closes doors.” She states, “My Personal Judaism is a collection of open doors for anyone.” Her vision is to “build a vibrant and rich hub of Jewish activity where professionals and consumers all meet in one place and that our collective passion for Jewish engagement will rise to an all time high. “
My Personal Judaism is many things. It is an online community that supports Jewish service providers. A place to come together, to be found, to network, to gather and to share. An online community that inspires stronger, deeper connections to our Jewish faith. It's also supportive network of personalized ideas. It is a marketplace and learning center. My Personal Judaism provides a place for Jews to connect based on their individual preferences. Leveraging the power of the internet, MPJ connects us in more productive ways. It enhances Jewish connections, and encourage us to be more creative in them.”
