Hello from NYC, where everything is going juuuussstttt grrreeaaat. Don’t worry though, we’ll protect you.

What really was great was our Shabbat dinner with our friends at the Six Street Synagogue! About 60 of you showed up to eat, drink, cry, laugh and drink some more. It was truly uplifting and fun to meet everyone, we really could all use some community now. Special shout out to those of you who came alone and left with many new friends. Please keep the conversation going in our Substack chat or wherever you like. We don’t have many photos but if you took any please send them over to [email protected]!

In this episode we discuss the future of New York City, why the UN needs to investigate our post-war weight gain, the progressive Judaism movement - plus we answer two questions from listeners: one about whether or not you should give your child an Israeli name, and how to talk to your Israeli-skeptic kid.

No questions is too big or too small, so if you have one please send it to [email protected]
