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.

Or visit BeingJewishpodcast.com. Shalom, Shalom, josh, l'am. I'm going to get to come. Yes, because

we have no guests.

No offense to guests, but it's nice to have a little pare down, a more simplified episode.

It's been a while.

It has been a while.

And when we first started chutzpot, I think we thought we would have the majority of our weeks with no guests.

And then every once in a while someone would pop in.

We've been blessed with many exalted guests. We are blessed with people thinking that this podcast is really

excellent in something they want to be on. So I guess, you know, it's not terrible. Let them continue in their delusions.

Yeah. And also, this is so nerdy what I'm about to say.

I just love going back to Genesis after slogging through Deuteronomy.

Like, I can't.

And it's like, oh, yeah, the stories and the people and everyone doing things wrong.

And after like all of the terrible theology of Deuteronomy. So I don't know.

I was excited. Your words not mine. There's just a lot of nutty stuff in Genesis.
