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.

Shaloh! And welcome back, everyone, to chutzpahd, real life lived better, where each week we apply

Jewish tradition and a little bit of George Carlin to talk about something that is live in our lives.

I'm Rabbi Shira Stuttman. And I'm Hannah Rosen.

All right, Hannah, I want to ask you a question, but you have to hear the instructions before you

answer it. The question is as follows. What is your favorite curse word? But you have to answer

without telling me which curse word it is, specifically. First of all, I want to say, love your nails. They are looking really, really good. I really do like them. And I, you know, getting my nails done, it does make me feel good. Yeah. Apropos a conversation that we're going to have next week, Hannah, about self-care. I'm a little embarrassed telling you how much I like to have my nails done. No, I'm into it. Anyway, I'm a classic F-word gal. Oh, you're an F-word gal. Yes, I'm real straightforward. Like, it gives, it does the trick. I use it sparingly. It makes me happy. I just, I like that one. I actually totally agree with you. I don't use it sparingly, but it is one of my favorites because I love the way that it rolls out of my mouth.

Like it's harsh in the beginning and it's harsh at the end.

And you have two opportunities to make really, I'm sure the linguist, there were like actual words for like the way my mouth is contorting itself, but you have two opportunities to make really, I'm sure the linguists, there were like actual words for like the way my mouth

is contorting itself, but you have two opportunities to make like hard sounds. Yeah. I really like it.

Yeah, okay, great. So we've learned that we're old fashioned that way. So I wanted to say one other thing,

and I don't care what you think. I am the rabbi here. For the purposes of this episode of podcast,

we are not going to curse at all. And we will find out why in one second when I read this letter.

Right? All right. Let's go right to the letter then.
