Summary

This week on Unorthodox, Grover goes to Israel, and we go to Portland, Maine! Our Jewish guest this week is Natasha Feldman, aka Nosh With Tash. She tells us about her new cookbook, “The Dinner Party Project,” and gives us some fool-proof tips on throwing a successful, low-stress dinner party. We’re also sharing the latest installment of our Across the Jew.S.A. series, created with support of the Jewish Federations of North America. Producers Robert Scaramuccia and Quinn Waller traveled to Portland, ME, to learn how Jewish immigrants made a home there, and how today’s Jewish community is helping new immigrants feel at home, too.

0:00.0	This is still unorthodox. The universe is leading Jewish podcast. It's me,
0:08.0	hi, Stephanie Buttnick, here with my co-host, my colleague, my co-conspirator,
0:13.5	Liel Liebowitz. Hello, and Shalom to you. So I actually texted you yesterday to ask how you
0:19.4	say your last name, and it's Liebowitz. Well, technically it's Liebowitz, but I figured I would
0:25.6	give you the American Friends discount. You could say Leibowitz. But I think it's nice that after
0:30.4	eight years of podcasting, people can still surprise you. Yeah. They're still new things to learn
0:34.3	about each other. Because it's really awkward, like, you know, you meet someone, and you're not
0:38.3	really sure about how to say their last name, and then some time passes by, and then you're not
0:41.9	going to ask, by the way, I know it's been some years now, but how do you say you're weird and
0:46.9	very Jewish last name? So it's okay. I get it. Well, Liel Liebowitz, we have an amazing new host

1:09.9	USA, created with the support of the Jewish federations of North America. This month our producers
1:15.8	Robert Scaramuccia and Quinn Waller travel to Portland, Maine, to share the heartwarming story
1:20.7	about Jews made name home for themselves and for others. First, Liel, should we, should we
1:27.6	give them a hint about who our new host is? I'm so excited. So we have spent a lot of time contemplating
1:34.4	the question of who could join us in this year, the universe's leading Jewish podcast, and really
1:42.4	the more we thought about it, the more we thought there is really only one person, it's only one
1:46.1	person. And when we called that person, we said, we're really sorry, you have no choice, but to say
1:50.0	yes, because you're literally the only person we are considering here. And that person said, yes,
1:57.2	now before we welcome host numero tres, host mispar Shalosh here to this very small minion of ours.
