Shabbat Shalom! Talking About Israel in 2021 The current violence in Israel and Gaza this month has inspired a wave of misled advocacy among previously apathetic Americans. Largely drawn from oversimplified infographics and comedy pieces, this misinformation has life or death consequences for Jews across the diaspora who have faced violence and silence. Gabby Posner of Shabbat Shpiels invites her good friend and near Israel expert Sarah Simon to discuss the Jewish connection to the land of Israel, the quest for peace, and antisemitic tropes evoked in anti-Israel advocacy today. This episode seeks to amplify the Jewish voices that have been diluted and silenced as of the past two weeks. That's a Jewish Holiday? 4/30 When does the Jewish calendar tell you to profess your love to your crush or pencil in that haircut? In this episode, we’ll answer this question that I’m sure you’ve all been wondering, as we explore the most niche of Jewish holidays. This episode will give you an excuse to party Jewish-style all year long! What's Your Bodos Order 4/16 It’s the episode you’ve been waiting for!

So go treat yourself to a schmear on your favorite round gluten-filled treat and enjoy listening to the history of how bagels became a quintessential Jewish food! The Kvetching Column 3/12 On this week’s episode Gabby and Ester turn to you, the listeners, to answer your most dire questions about life, love, and food (of course) with a little Jewish wisdom thrown into the mix. Sit back, relax, turn on the podcast and listen to what your bubbe would call “the best advice column since ‘Dear Abby’” Jewish, Feminist, and Full of Chutzpah 2/26 Shabbat Shpiels welcomes their first guest — Professor and Rabbi Vanessa Ochs! A professor at UVA’s Department of Religious Studies and member of the Jewish Studies Program, ordained rabbi, author, plant lover and scholar on all things Jewish feminism, our fantastic guest guides us through the ins and outs of female power in the Jewish religion. This episode has everything from history on Jewish feminist icons with chutzpah, to women’s roles in traditional Jewish faith, to fighting for a seat at the table of progressive movements as not just a woman, but a JEWISH woman. This episode goes out to all our lady listeners DIY Forgiveness 2/16 Shabbat Schpeils just got real deep, real quick. On this episode, we will grapple with the difficult task of how to forgive, and look to Jewish texts for inspiration.
