  • Good for the soul

    This podcast celebrates Jewish joy in a way that I didn’t know I needed in this polarized world. I especially love that the hosts inform and teach each other about their own communities, within the larger Jewish community. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face!

  • I am a Golda Girl

    Thank you Stephanie, Rabbi, Gabby and Esther for bringing joy and hope back into Jewish Podcasting. I am very well aware of antisemitism/anti Zionism so much so that i almost forgot how rich and delightful Jewish culture is and how all we have to do is choose to remember we are still here for a reason—We are the light-keepers. Sending love and light to all of you. Thank you thank you thank you! XO

  • Love this!

    This is such a bright light in Jewish podcasts and a wonderful way to bring Jewish women together whose observance levels vary, but who all are proud of their awesome Jewishness. Shout out to my HUC-JIR classmate Rabbi Diana Fersko! 🩷

  • Love it!

    I just binged the first four episodes and I’m excited for more! I love the way the four hosts chat about such a variety of things. Bonus love for having an Esther on the show. There aren’t that many of us out there, and I love hearing my name on the show.
