Kvetch

Just over a month ago a young man walked into a school in Florida and killed seventeen students. While upsetting, this doesn’t seem like the kind of thing that Darone would want to Kvetch about. So, is he complaining about guns? About senseless murder? About the student response? You will have to listen to this episode to find out, this week on Kvetch.

Purim has passed, and you would think that after all of these years of this podcast, Darone would have run out of things to complain about when it comes to Purim, but if that’s what you think, you really don’t give Darone enough credit for finding what to Kvetch about.

As they say, ‘Tis the Season… for Darone to Kvetch about Purim. If you have been listening to this show for any amount of time, you know how Darone feels about Purim and Simchat Torah, but what does he still have to Kvetch about after this many episodes? Take a listen to find out.

The Kiddish Club is the group at many synagogues that leave right after the Haftara to drink a lachaim (shot of alcohol) or two in the synagogue lobby. What about this would make Daorne Kvetch? You will have to take a listen.

While this may not seem like a Jewish topic for a Kvetch, the image that prompted it was someone davening (praying)… Listen to Darone’s take on this scourage of society.

All we can say this week is that when you think Darone is going to zig, you can be sure that he zags.

Take a listen to this latest episode of “Kvetch.”

Yeah, you read the title correctly. For reasons unclear, Darone has chosen today, Christmas Day to Kvetch about Al Capone.

You wouldn’t believe it if I told you why he chose this to Kvetch about, so please just take a few minutes to listen to his Kvetch, and let us know what you think.

As a reminder, there is one more week until the end of the year. We hope that you will consider an end of year gift to JCast Network by donating here.

Nobody who actually knows Darone could possibly think that he is a fan of the current President, which is what makes it extra surprising that he is Kvetching about this aspect of Chanukah, and the White House, but Kvetch he is, and our job is to share it with you.

As we are approaching the end of the tax-year, we invite you to consider making a tax-deductible donation to help support the programming that we provide on JCast Network. Please give generously.

Wishing you a Happy Chanukah from all of us at #Kvetch and JCast Network.

We know that as you have listened to Kvetch, you have begun to expect a certain something and that something is, well, a kvetch. Well, today, when you expect one thing, you get another.

Maybe it is because Friday would have been his mother’s birthday, or maybe it’s because he went to a funeral on Sunday of a really special teacher, colleague and friend, but for one reason or another, this week Darone talks about the Jewish way in death, and mourning, and in this, Darone thinks Jewish tradition has it right.
