Frum Minimalism with Ellie Azerad

Episode 79: Frum Minimalism with Ellie Azerad

In response to today’s oversaturated consumerist society, the pendulum has swung and Minimalism is a thing. A minimalist lifestyle involves intentionally living with fewer possessions, focusing on what truly matters and rejecting unnecessary clutter and consumerism to achieve simplicity and intentionality. While trending in the secular world, can Minimalism be adapted to the frum lifestyle? Ellie Azerad, founder of Frum Minimalism, argues yes. She also believes that principles of minimalism reflect Torah values. Ellie teaches frum women how to simplify their lives so they can live life to the fullest. And she’s joined us on this DMC to give us the lowdown – and amazing stories – of how mindful decluttering and shifting your mindset about possessions can have transformative effects.

On this episode, we discuss:

The definition of minimalism
How it’s trending in the secular world and where it’s coming from
