Rabbis Michael Knopf and Jesse Olitzky are lifelong friends, pop culture fanboys, and lovers of all things Jewish. Join them every other week for a conversation about what’s going on in pop culture from a Jewish perspective and about Judaism through the lens of pop culture.

The rabbis are talking Christmas! Seriously. The new Hulu Christmas movie, Happiest Season, raises challenging questions about what LGBTQIA+ inclusion looks like in our households and our communities in the 21st century. Special guest CJ Prince, Executive Director of North Jersey Pride, joins Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky to discuss the movie, her own experience coming out as gay in an Orthodox Jewish community, and what congregations should be doing today to be welcoming, supportive, and safe spaces for all.
