Hey, chutzkwad. We know you love thoughtful Jewish conversation. So there's another podcast we think you should check out. It's called Being Jewish with Jonah Platt.

Jonah has the kind of conversations that don't feel reactive or hysterical or trapped in hot takes. He makes space for complexity instead of trying to win an argument.

Jonah talks to artist, public figures, thinkers, Jewish and not, including Seinfeld's

Jason Alexander, former hostage Eli Shurabi, comedian Modi Rosenfeld, CNN's Jake Tapper, and Cindy

Crawford.

The podcast is about the beautiful and complicated parts of Jewish life.

So if you want something smart, expansive, and grounded, check out Being Jewish with Jonah Platt on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

our lives. So we actually, speaking about questions, we've been really grateful for all that you've

sent in already about everything from, why is chicken parmesan not kosher to like, why do bad
