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, everyone. Welcome back to chutzpah. Real life lived better, where each week we apply Jewish tradition and a little nip and a tuck to talk about something that is live in our lives. I'm Rabbi Shira Stutman. And I'm Hannah Rosen. Shearer, I have a

question for you. What? I know, you're supposed to ask me the questions. Since you and I are in

Zoom screens together, do you, when you first see your face in the Zoom, are you like

primping? You know what I mean? Are you like, oh, fix my Jewish curl here and recurl the one on the left?

And do my glasses make me look too Jewish? Just curious. I mean, I feel like that's almost a false question because you, you 100% know the answer is yes.

Like, yes, exactly. Here's the procedure. First is the hair, right? Like which curl curl is, where's the frizz? Second is the neck. It's like, can I, like, fix that there's like one line that always looks like I've had like, you know, someone has slit my throat and like can't I fix that one line? And then third is the parentheses around my lips. Those are the three things. What are the

things you do every single time the Zoom screen comes on? Well, right now I'm wearing the wrong

glasses because something happened to my real glasses and I can't see anything. So that's actually

a blessing. I can't do this activity. but it's almost exactly the same as you.

It's like the girl's frizzy, the neck hidden, whatever, those kinds of things.

But I have to say, you know, being on Zoom, now that we've all been on Zooms with lots and lots of people,

there are people who in my mind stand out for the way they look at themselves on Zoom as soon as the Zoom opens.

There should be a German word for the look you give yourself the second the Zoom.
