We'll be back soon with full episodes after the holidays, so be on the lookout for those.

We hope everyone had a great Sukkot and Simchat Torah!

Have you ever seen a Jew build a house? Unlikely. The closest we get is during the Sukkot holiday. That alone makes the holiday notable, but there are other reasons we should pay attention to the holiday, and we will discuss all of those in this episode, along with a bonus discussion about Simchat Torah.

In this episode, we’ll get into-

Alright all you sinners…this one’s for you. This episode is everything you ever wanted to know about how to get back in Hashem’s good graces. You know it, you love it…it’s Yom Kippur.

On this episode we discuss:

One way you may be able to cleanse your soul this year is by subscribing to our podcast, our YouTube channel and/or our new Instagram. I’m fairly certain Hashem counts all of those as Mitzvot.

In this episode, we talk about…a month. No, that’s not the episode's length; that is its topic. Specifically, the month of Elul (I know, I know…trust me, the episode is much more interesting than it sounds).

We discuss:

Then, we transition to this week's Torah portion, where we discuss the story of how Jacob obtained Esau’s birthright in exchange for a bowl of soup.

For those of you who are not of the "very online" set, Tucker Carlson interviewed Darryl Cooper, also known as MartyrMade, on his show this week. The interview set off a firestorm because of Cooper's, let's be generous and say poorly informed World War 2 opinions.

After that, some old tweets emerged in which he made some quite disparaging remarks about Judaism and its relationship to Christianity.

We discussed one of those tweets during our weekly recording this week, but rather than waiting for the entire episode to come out in about ten days or so, we thought we would clip that section and send it out now because the discussion is so in the zeitgeist at the moment.

It appears the original tweet we discussed has been since deleted, ⁠but you can find it screenshotted here.

Certain dimwitted fools (given this is a family show, that’s the best descriptor I can give) on the internet have been making claims about Judaism based on the preachings of a small group of zealots known as False Prophets. In today’s episode, we will discuss the two most famous members of the group, Sabbatai Zevi and Jacob Frank.

We’ll discuss:

As you may have noticed in the subhead above, ⁠we’re now on YouTube⁠, so if that’s your application of choice to listen to podcasts, you can check us out there. The channel has our entire back catalogue of episodes and will be updated each week with our new ones.

With all the online anti-semitism and Jewish conspiracy theories in the dark corners of the internet (thanks, Candace Owens), we decided to take one of the issues head-on and discuss the concept of Kabbalah and its core teachings.

Including:

We then go on to this weeks parsha and discuss Isaac and Rebekah’s challenge with getting pregnant and the theme of infertility in the bible, and ultimately the birth of their twin sons, Jacob and Esau.
