This week’s episode is a perfect blend of Purim joy, global awareness, and all the things we’re excited about right now. Join Ben Kreshtool, Jill Suffel, and Cantor Emily Ellentuck as we reminisce about the best Purim ever—the costumes, the chaos, the community energy—and debate the truly important question of the season: which hamantaschen flavor reigns supreme? (Comment your favorite… we’re ready to judge lovingly.)
Our conversation also turns toward the world, touching on what’s happening in Iran, dreaming about future trips to Israel, and sharing the new shows we can’t wait to start.
In a shocking twist, weather and traffic did not make an appearance this week—but don’t worry, we still wrap things up with our signature blessing of the week and a very on‑brand shonda of the week.
✨ Tune in and listen.
