Shalom, listeners. It's your executive producer Courtney Hazelitt dropping in with a bit of news.

0:17.1

More than a year since the day that changed everything, just about every Jew is asking,

0:21.6

how am I supposed to be a Jew right now?

0:24.4

Regardless of whether you're conservative or reform, reconstructionist, whatever,

0:29.0

if you're Jewish asking yourself how to be a Jew comes up constantly in unexpected places,

0:35.5

at the movies while you're reading a book when you walk into a concert,

0:38.8

at a dinner party, or even sometimes a synagogue. In other words, we can continue to focus on the

tragedy, but that would be missing the point, when right now people are connecting to a visceral

0:50.3

form of Judaism, something that has lived in, even if it's imperfect.

0:55.1

And that is what our brand new show, How to Be a Jew, is all about.

1:01.2

Every week, we'll be breaking down a current cultural topic and talking about what it means

for us as Jews and how we react to it because we are Jews.

1:10.2

I won't be flying solo through this.

1:12.3

Friend of Tablet, Rabbi Diana Fersko, will be joining me. You might know her from her book.

We need to talk about anti-Semitism or from her Bima at the Village Temple or from co-hosting

1:22.4

our special limited series Reform alongside our very own Josh Cross. And good news, he'll be joining us too.

1:30.0

So come back to your feeds on the 25th of Kislov, or as some might call it, Christmas, for our very first episode.

1:37.8

Until then, the Heathrow. Thank you.
