I loved this episode. So many things resonated so apologies for the long message below. First! Yael, I said it in a comment on here but I’ll say it again, that’s really terrifying. I’m so sorry.
Chaya Leah, I really liked hearing about Hasidic living, especially the about being fully immersed in Shabbat and Passover and carrying on our traditions from year to year.
Over the past few years (and huge thanks to you on this podcast) I’ve felt more appreciation for and connection to the Hasidic community as fellow Jews. It has coincided with an autodidactic Jewish studies thing I’ve decided to fall into. fwiw, Chabad’s website an amazing resource. I love the parshah section.
Anyways, I’ll wrap by saying that I also loved how you said you and Yael are both Jewish to your core.
Can’t wait to hang out — even though I’m very awkward. and just as short. 🤓
Okay, PS, two questions while we’re here: 1. Does an (unintentional) autopay going through on Saturday break the sabbath? 2. can the orthodox keep non-kosher animals as pets, like a rabbit (asking for a friend)? PPS your answer will not affect the rabbit’s wellbeing.
I actually started using the word "Jew" after David Baddiel gave me permission. I avoided it instinctively, which seems crazy and condescending when I think about it.
But I do get bemused looks when I say it even in the post banal sense.
Ok this one got me. Time to build a community around me. Thank you Chaya Leah.
My father was Jewish, my grandmother died in the holocaust. I'd long ago been infected with Dennis Prager's love of the Torah, which I thought I knew very well but hadn't known about second chance Passover so I probably actually know nothing. Time to convert. What do I do?

I posted this elsewhere, but if you ever need to talk bewb surgery, I'm your girl! ( I almost wrote goy) 😆
Not fun, the whole surgery thing, but definitely doable and worth it to reduce risk or whatever.❤️❤️❤️
Would a Cancer Goy say the word for Jews? Growing up we whispered the names of illnesses and diseases.
Yael! What a pain in the ass. Sorry to hear.
😊

I had a friend who would say he’s a Jew, not Jew “ish.” I think it’s pretty easy to tell the tone in which it’s said
That's helpful to hear!
