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.
