Welcome back to edJEWcation, the podcast where we mix education with a little bit of Chutzpah! Today, we're diving into the wonderful world of Jewish education, because let's face it, nothing says smarts like a good old Torah study session.

And just like Adam Sandler in Billy Madison, we're going back to school (Jewish school, that is) and even throwing in a bar mitzvah for good measure. Because what better way to celebrate becoming a man than with a slice of challah and some awkward dancing?

But wait, there's more! In the second half of the podcast, we're taking a trip back in time to unravel the mysteries of the Tower of Babel. Spoiler alert: it didn't end well. But hey, at least we can learn from their mistakes and remember that people are way more important than bricks. Take notes, folks, this is edJEWcation at its finest.

On this week's episode of eJEWcation, we start a multi-week series explaining the life of a Jew, from birth to death, starting with the more joyous side of the timeline, birth. Rabbi Perlmutter explains why the Bible commands Jews to be "fruitful and multiply," why Jews "snip the tip" of their boys, what the career path to becoming a mohel is (in case anyone in the audience is looking for a career change), and the importance of Hebrew names.

For the parsha, we discussed G-d pressing the reset button on his Nintendo (am I dating myself?), better known as Noah's Ark. We'll talk about why people in the Bible lived to be so old and why G-d eventually decided to put an age limit on them, why Jews being too fruitful might have caused the flood, and why one of the first things Noah did after the flood was get drunk (I mean, can you really blame him?).

On this episode of edJEWcation, we discuss the significance of Jewish "equipment," as Jay calls it. Why do Jewish men wear yarmulkes? What's the significance of the tassels some Jews have coming from underneath their shirts, and why the heck are mezuzah's always crooked?

In the second part of the episode, we discuss Adam and Eve, talk about how G-d created the institution of marriage (not to be confused with mental institutions), discuss delicious snake cuisine, and are reminded why Eve's timing of eating the apple was very unfortunate.

Welcome to edJEWcation, your weekly Jewish educational podcast to catch you up on all the things you may have missed in Hebrew school. The edJEWcation all-star team consists of Rabbi Abba Perelmuter, his daughter ChayaLeah Sufrin, and their relapsed Jewish friend, Jay Covitz.

In our inaugural episode, Jay learns the difference between the myriad number of Jewish texts, and we discuss that little thing called creation.

HI and welcome to eJEWcation, our brand new podcast offering a weekly serving of jewish wit and wisdom! I'm your host, CL Sufrin, and each week, we'll be diving into the rich tapestry of Jewish texts and ideas. Joining me are two titans of Torah: my father, the O.G. rabbi and senior sage at Shul by the Shore, Rabbi Abba Perelmuter, and our dear friend. A self proclaimed 'relapsed Jew,' the one and only Jay Covitz.

Together, we're embarking on a fun yet enlightening journey through the pillars of Judaism. From ancient scrolls to modern-day issues, we'll be deciphering it all. Expect to learn some Jewish history, funded atal stories from the Torah, ponder philosophical questions, and maybe even kvetch a little about modern Jewish life.  eJEWcation is about to drop some Torah knowledge like it's hot!
