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.

That day will come for me and you are invited.

Oh my God. Oh my God. Yes. Fine. So here we are in Sukkot and I want to give my yearly

admonition slash reminder to all of our listeners to write emails, sent flowers or like

casks of whiskey or whatever bottles of whiskey to all of your clergy and every single

staff member at your local synagogue in gratitude for all of the work that they put into

and are still putting into the high holiday season say thank you no matter what you thought

of their sermons no matter what you thought of their sermons, no matter what you

thought of the security process of walking into the synagogue. This is the moment of just
