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 podcast.

Or visit BeingJewishpodcast.com. Shalom, Laksh, al-

Shalom, Joshua.

hear from Representative Jamie Raskin, and I was thinking about his son Tommy this past Sunday on

what would have been his birthday. Yeah. Stayed even with me over the course of the week.

Yeah, that was a remarkable interview. He's so sharp and articulate and open.

What great modeling for what integrity looks like and intellectual acuity.

That sort of being smart is not just about knowing a lot of book things, obviously he does,

but also sort of understanding and exploring your own heart as well.

In any event, we're back with chutzpod, ancient texts for modern times.

We look at life through a Jewish lens here,
