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.

Welcome back to Khatpod, real life lived better, where each week we apply Jewish tradition and a little bit of Timothy Leary to talk about something that is live in our lives.

I'm Rabbi Shira Stutman.

And I'm Hanna Rosen.

And Shira, I've missed you. I feel lost without you. I don't know how to live my life. I have so many live issues in my life that are just floundering. I think you're lying, but the funny thing is it still makes me feel good. It's true. I still like it. But I have missed you. I've missed your smiling face. Tell me one thing that's happened to you over the last few months. That's made you

happy. That's made me happy. Oh, for those of you in our audience whose kids ever watch

Phineas and Ferb, there's a character called Isabella Garcia-Shapiro, and there's a Mexican-Jewish Heritage Day, and I went to a Mexican-Jewish-Heritage wedding, a wedding that was part Catholic-Mexican and part Jewish, and it was like so beautifully done.

You know, the way they mixed the traditions, the groom's father was a rabbi, the way they thought through how they were going to please the Mexican Catholic family and the Jewish family. And the whole thing was just gorgeous. Wow, wow, wow, wow. Yeah. I remember when I first started rabbinical school, filled with hubris about intermarriage. And I was like, I will never do an intermarriage. And it was like

the first weekend, one of my professors said to me, yeah, you'll never do an intermarriage until your brother calls you. So, you know, I think about that, that rabbi. You know, he's standing very high on his horse and then his son calls him. Yeah. Do you have a question for me, sure, because next week is Porum, and I am sensing that you have a

perm related question.

Of course I do, Hannah, because, as you know, Porum is probably one of my top three favorite

Jewish holidays.

So are you typically someone who dresses up on Porum?

No.

No.
