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.

Hello. Hello, and welcome back to chutzpah, real life lived better, where each week we apply Jewish tradition and just a little bit of schmaltz to talk about something that is live in our lives.

I'm Rabbi Shira Stutman.

And I'm Hannah Rosen.

Welcome back, Hannah.

And I'm back.

Yay.

Thank you.

How was your summer?

You know what's amazing about my summer?

Shira, you and I have lived in the same city for so long, and yet it took you moving to Colorado and me being

in Colorado for us to hang out, like in a real way, for us to hang out like several days in a row

and meet your friends and have lunch. Like that's weird. It's weird. It was, it was, I have to say

it was like a dream coming true because as you know, Hannah, I've wanted you to be my best friend for many years now.

And like we actually have had, we actually had time together like best friends for multiple days in a row. It was a dream come true.
