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.

I wonder, I didn't think of this, but I wonder if it'll get folded into the high

holidays for a long time to come.

Yeah.

I mean, part of me feels like the last thing the Jews need is another day of morning on our calendar.

Like we have so many of them.

I wonder as a rabbi, do people ask you to talk about it or not talk about it?
