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.

Hey, Khutzpahd listeners, Hana here with Rabbi Shira.

We're going to be bringing you brand new episode, September 17th, just in time for the new year.

But in the meantime, for the next few weeks, we're going to be bringing you some special live conversations that Shira had over the summer.

Okay, Shira, tell us what we're going to hear.

Sure.

As many of you know, I am now the senior rabbi of Aspen Jewish Congregation.

And this summer, we held a special series that we hoped inspired fresh thinking about the

future of Judaism and the Jewish community.

We invited some influential Jewish leaders and thinkers to wrestle with the questions that define Jewish life today.

Today you're going to hear the first of these conversations.

Why do Jewish ideas matter with panelists Sarah Hurwitz, Brett Stevens, and Elka Abrahamson.

As you guys are listening, we hope you're thinking about your own questions.

We're in production for the next season, and we would love to hear from all of you.
