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.

Shalom, everyone, welcome back to chutzpah, real life lived better, where each week we apply Jewish tradition and a little bit of turkey bacon to talk about something that is live in our lives.

I'm Rabbi Shira Stutman. I'm Hannah Rosen. So what are you doing for your

first Seder tonight? Well, it's actually fun because I have relatives here from Israel,

just, you know, because they don't care about religious holidays. Right. That's what I was like,

I was like, so they're here for not for Passover. Oh, no, hell no, no. They're here to go shopping at the New Jersey mall and buy jeans for, you know, whatever percent of the price that they can buy those same jeans in Tel Aviv.

So that's their religious activity today.

But I'm delighted to see them.

So we're going to hang out and have Passover together. They probably don't even know what Passover is. It's actually quite awkward because I'm like, you know, the embarrassing super Jew American cousin who's like trying to say a prayer. They're like, oh, God, just get out of fear. So it's kind of nice for you probably.

It's like nice every once in a while to like be the most Jewish person in the room, the most observant

person. Really, that's so true. In a hotspot, I'm like, I'm like practically a Protestant.

So in this context, in this context, I get to be the most Jew.

What I like about secular Israelis is that they manage to simultaneously hold absolutely no knowledge about Judaism and a tremendous amount of disrespect for American Jews and Judaism.

And they probably think you're cute.
