Episode 4: Esty, (Not) Your Average Jew

Every shul has them. Every school depends on them. Every community would collapse without them. But nobody’s interviewing them. (Not) Your Average Jew pulls back the curtain on the unsung heroes of Jewish life . Hosted by Rabbi Elie Weissman and his cousin Andrew Weissman — the self-proclaimed Peppiest Jew in the Pew — this podcast asks the questions that get to the heart of what it really means to be Jewish today: where we came from, what we believe, what we’re passing on, and how we’re holding up. No famous names required. Just real Jews, real stories, and real conversation.
