Hello and welcome to the 1840 podcast where each month we explore different topic balancing modern sensibilities with traditional sensitivities to give you new approaches to timeless Jewish ideas.

I'm your host, David Bischepkin, and this month we're exploring dating,

relationships, commitment, all the good stuff. And I am so excited to announce that this episode

was sponsored by my dearest friends, Esther and Jerry Williams. In honor of, they wrote

David Bishfkin, I'm going to leave that part out, but really in honor of all

those who support Shalom Task Force. Shalom Task Force's organization designed to combat and prevent

domestic violence and foster healthy and safe relationships and families. Their annual breakfast

is Sunday, December 11th, where they have been kind enough to honor

1840 and the work that we are doing.

I will certainly be there.

I hope some of our listeners will be there.

And please check out the Shulham Task Force website to find out more.

incredibly important work.

So thank you so much to our friends, Jerry and Esther Williams, for the sponsorship of this

episode and the irony of them

sponsoring the episode about my dating story, I hope, is lost on no one, but I can only guess

will be lost on nearly everyone. This podcast is part of a larger exploration of those big, juicy,

Jewish ideas, so be sure to check out 1840.org.
