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

I'm Rabbi Shira Stutman.

And I'm Hannah Rosen, Rabbi.

Shana.

Word on the street is that you didn't sleep well last night. What's going on?

So as you know, Hana, I right now am commuting from Washington, D.C. to Aspen, Colorado, as one does. And I just had one of those, I feel like it's a very Colorado-y experiences last night where my plane got delayed. And then we had to land in Colorado Springs, so I missed my connecting flight. And then I had to drive four hours to Aspen, which I did, slaloming

between many, many trucks. So then I just like didn't sleep. And now it's four hours later. And I'm

with you. Okay. So let's say that you were not Rabbi Shira Stubman, but just plain old,

cranky Jewish lady Shira Stubman, but just plain old cranky Jewish lady Shira Stubman.

And you went to Rabbi Shira Stubman, who by the way, just wrote this amazing book, which is coming out shortly on March 25th called the Jewish Way to a Good Life.

So Shira Stubman comes to Rabbi Shira Stubman and says, oh my God, I'm so cranky,

but I'm so annoyed that I'm cranky because like, who's going to feel pity for me that I've like,

you know, oh, I had so much trouble getting to Aspen. And yet here I am really cranky and feeling guilty about it because I was up all night and now I'm tired, but I really want to be a good member of my Jewish community. What do I do?
