Kvetch

This weeks Kvetch comes from an experience that Darone had this week when he was accosted on Facebook Messenger by someone he doesn’t really know.

This lead to Darone kvetching about the blur between the private and the public now that we all live our lives (for good and bad) publicly on Social Media.

Isn’t Darone done “kvetching” about the High Holiday season? Not on your life… This time Darone returns to one of his go-to kvetches, in fact, you can hear him talk about it in this episode from March 2017, right after Purim.

Hopefully, this will be Darone’s last kvetch about the holidays, but… who knows!

By the name of this episode, you probably already know what Darone has to complain about in today’s episode of Kvetch, but why not listen, maybe you will enjoy anyway.

If you are one of the few non-Jewish listeners to this podcast, you will be completely confused (and possibly revolted) by this weeks episode. I am Jewish and I am not sure I want to ever hear Darone go off on this issue again.

On September 30th, 2017 there will be a March for Racial Justice in Washington DC. September 30th is also Yom Kippur, and no surprise, the Jewish community is up in arms. What side of this issue do you think Darone will come out on this time? Take a listen to find out.

At his latest concert at Madison Square Garden, The piano man, Billy Joel wore a yellow star on his suit jacket as a statement of support for the Jewish community and against the rising Alt-Right/KKK/Nazi sentiments in our country.

What on earth does Darone see a problem with about this? You will have to listen to this short episode to find out?

After recording his last episode of Kvetch, Darone was immediately ready to jump back in and record again, this episodes focus… Kashrut. But he doesn’t complain about cheese, or wine, or two sets of dishes, no… Darone wants to kvetch about why chicken and beef are meat, but fish is not.

What do you think? Do you think that the rules of Kashrut make any sense at all?

If you know anything about Kvetch host Darone Ruskay, you can’t be too surprised that he would find something to kvetch about when it comes to Tisha B’Av, but we think you may be surprised to see what he has stuck in his craw about this, most solemn day in the Jewish calendar.

OK, so after last episode, Darone got a bunch of people asking what was Jewish about his Kvetch…. So, this episode Darone focused on something very in the beltway. In fact, you might say that there kvetching about Tefillin is going a bit overboard, but then again, isn’t that what Kvetch is all about?

The Jewish content on this Kvetch is a little light, and the whole episode (if said in a different tone) could have been an episode of #AbbaCamp, but since Darone already wasted his kvetch about fireworks in May, this week he focuses on SAND. You know, the gritty stuff that gets stuck in your everywhere, and is so uncomfortable and icky!
