LATEST EPISODE 🔗
Hashem offers a 12-year-old king anything he wants. Wealth, power, conquest, all on the table. Solomon asks for wisdom, and nearly three thousand years later we’re still reading what he did with it.
This week we discuss the Book of Proverbs, Solomon’s advice to his kids, and find that a lot of it …

Picking up where we left him last time…Jabotinsky is in a refugee camp in Egypt with 12,000 Jewish refugees, who had been expelled from Palestine by the Turks.
He surveys the camp, the Jews within it and comes out with one conclusion: pity won’t build a nation, soldiers will.
What follows are the …

Ze’ev Jabotinsky could have been a great Russian novelist. Everyone, including the Russian novelists, said so. Instead, a spring evening in Odessa in 1903 set him on the hardest road available to a Jew in the Russian Empire, and he never got off it.
This week Jay goes solo for the first episode i…

From there the Rabbi gets on a roll about Mark Ruffalo, Javier Bardem, and Hasan Piker (he calls him something else), and why the four in ten Jewish college students pulling back f…
Jonah gets swallowed by a fish, and that is the part everybody remembers, but the real story is what happens after: Nineveh repents, Hashem forgives, and Jonah sits down under a plant and sulks about it.
In this episode, we get into:
The kikayon, the plant that grows over Jonah and dies overnigh…
Some weeks we pick the topics. This week you picked them for us.
The Rabbi opens by informing both of us that the frivolity is over, because Elul has arrived and we have thirty days to get our act together before Rosh Hashanah. Also, he would like an apology for being cut out of last week’s episod…
It is just CL and I this week, because we wanted to give her a chance to speak this week (sorry, Rabbi).
Her oldest son got engaged a few weeks ago, there has already been an engagement party in Crown Heights and a second one on the West Coast, and the wedding is coming fast. So we thought people w…
