  • My favorite Jewish podcast

    I love listening to this podcast! It’s so accessible and smart in a fun way. The people Rabbi Pont interview are well selected and each topic is thoughtful and relevant.

    You don’t need any prior knowledge before tuning in. I just finished episode 13 about Hanukkah. I loved listening to the teens discuss their experiences. I am a convert so I experience a strange nostalgia this time of year and I love hearing about Hanukkah experiences and memories of those who were born into their faith.
