1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: This is the most traumatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast. 2 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: Shaloam everybody. Chris Harrison coming to you from the home 3 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: office in Austin, Texas. I say shalom because today we're 4 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: going to talk about one of my favorite shows that 5 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: I just binge watched and I think a lot of 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: you are as well. It's Nobody wants this on Netflix. 7 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: It came out back in September, and I think it's 8 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: really picking up more and more steam. It's with Kristin Bell, 9 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: Adam Brody, Justin Lupe and Timothy Simons, who is so 10 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: good as Sasha. He was great and deep as well, 11 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: but he's I mean, this guy just crushes it. But 12 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: Kristen Bell Adam Brody and the premise of this is, 13 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: you know, I'll just give you the thirty thousand ft 14 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: level if you haven't watched it. Adam Brody as a young, cool, hip, 15 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: good looking rabbi, Kristen Bell is agnostic, and the two 16 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: fall in love and then you know, mayhem ensues. But 17 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: his caused and created so many great conversations in and 18 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: out of the Jewish faith. Little known kind of backstory 19 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: with me is that so my mom is Jewish and 20 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: so I also grew up kind of in and out 21 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: of the Jewish faith. I am a Christian and I 22 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: was baptized with my son. But I also celebrate and 23 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: celebrated my entire life the Jewish traditions, Passover and Hanikah, 24 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: et cetera. And and that means a lot to me 25 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: as well, and that that side of my family and 26 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: that side of myself is very important, and it's I 27 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: don't I was wondering if it struck maybe more of 28 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 1: a chord with me, because you know, I was watching 29 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: my Jewish cousin's date and in and out of the temple, 30 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: and then I was not in the temple, but I 31 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: was dating and would you know, be with people in 32 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: the Jewish faith, And it was just really interesting to 33 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: have these conversations and to now see it all play 34 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: out and nobody wants this. I just thought, this is funny, 35 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: it's fascinating, and I thought, who could we bring on 36 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: to talk about this? So you know what we did. 37 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: We found two really cool rabbis from different parts of 38 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: the country. But lo and behold, they actually knew each other. 39 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: There's Rabbi Joshua Bennett, who is at Temple Israel in 40 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: Michigan and he actually had this well, I, you know, 41 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: I would say she didn't study under him, but attended 42 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: temple with Rabbi Joshua's Rabbi Leah Sternberg. And Rabbi Sternberg 43 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: was raised in Michigan, so that's where she went. But 44 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: she then studied and worked in California in Colorado. And 45 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: Leah is an assistant rabbi at Temple Bane in New Jersey. 46 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: And they are young in hip and cool themselves. But 47 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: I just wanted to have them. Have them on today. 48 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: Let's let's lighten the load a little bit and talk 49 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: about not only a great show, but how real is it? 50 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: What's missing? What hit home to these rabbis about their 51 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,119 Speaker 1: own faith and about people dating outside of their religion. 52 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: So we dive in today on the Most Dramatic Podcast 53 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: with Rabbi Leah and Rabbi Josh. Rabbi Josh, Rabbi Leah 54 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 1: joining me now, Leah, I think you're in New Jersey, Josh, 55 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: You're still in Michigan, right, correct? 56 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 2: Yes, thank you. 57 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,839 Speaker 1: Guys for joining me. This is look, why have one 58 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: rabbi on when we can have both? 59 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 3: I love that and happy to be here very happy 60 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 3: to be here as well. 61 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: Little backstory here, Rabbi Leah, I know you're in New Jersey, 62 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: but you studied under Rabbi Josh. Is that correct? 63 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 4: I actually grew up and was my teenage years at 64 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 4: Temple were with the Rabbi Josh and so you could 65 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 4: say studied, but really grew up there. 66 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: And that's I love that. What a great story. But 67 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: I also like too because of the topic we're going 68 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: to talk about with Nobody Wants This, this show that 69 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: I quickly became addicted to like many others. And maybe 70 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: it's because you know, my my mom's side of the 71 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: family is Jewish, so I grew up with this feeling 72 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: in this this idea that you know, Jewish, the Jewish, 73 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: you know, congregation would like only seek out to marry 74 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: and date Jewish people. I went through this when I 75 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: was in high school. I remember I was dating a girl, 76 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: Julie shout out to you, but I remember her mom saying, 77 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: I know you're only half Jewish, honey, but that's good enough. 78 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: That's close. And and that really typifies what we were 79 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: to dive what we're diving into today with the show 80 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: Nobody Wants This, and hopefully you guys have seen this. 81 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've talked about this. 82 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, I binge watched it, I think in two nights 83 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 5: with my wife. So if I loved every minute. 84 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: It is, it's because look, it's very safe. It's a 85 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: very safe, simple watch. As people say with books, it's 86 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: a simple read. This is a very simple watch. Leah. 87 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 4: Yes, I also watched it very quickly, and I have 88 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 4: I'm currently on maternity leave, so I have plenty of 89 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 4: time to sit and binge watch, and so I also 90 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 4: went through this one very fast and quickly became obsessed 91 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 4: with it as well. 92 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: Well. First of all, Mazeltov. Second of all, the you know, 93 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: it was interesting because I remember sitting with my cousin, 94 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: my Jewish cousin one day, and she was trying to 95 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: date and telling me, you know how hard it is. 96 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: I grew up in Dallas, So Dallas as a beautiful 97 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: Jewish community, but as many communities, it's small, it's tight knit, 98 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: and you know, everybody knows everybody, and so she's like, 99 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: it's very hard to date, you know, within the community 100 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,239 Speaker 1: because everybody knows everyone. You know, we are fourth generation Dallas. 101 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: Our grandparents are very high up in the temple and 102 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: wonderful people, and so we just everybody knew them, right, 103 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: And as you see this many times in a Jewish community, 104 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: it gets very difficult and she's like, I only want 105 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: to date someone who is of the Jewish faith. Where 106 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: do we stand on this now? In modern times? Modern dating? 107 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 1: Is this still the way? Is it still? Do you 108 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: see this with the folks that attend your temples? Josh, 109 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: I'll start with you in Michigan. 110 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 5: First of all, I think it's important for us to 111 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 5: recognize that the Jewish community is not monolithic. So there 112 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 5: are different versions of the answer to this question. If 113 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 5: you were to ask somebody in the orthodox world, the 114 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 5: more traditional world, they would say, we only marry within 115 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 5: because it's. 116 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: Proliferating the provision and the community. 117 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 5: But then you know, you move to the more liberal 118 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 5: side of Judaism and the rules are shifted a little bit. 119 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 5: So one of the big differences in our movement, the 120 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 5: reform movement, is that we accept naturally anal descent or 121 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,799 Speaker 5: patrol and ial descent. So if one of the partners 122 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 5: in the relationship is Jewish, then the kids are Jewish 123 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 5: according to our traditions. So we see a lot more 124 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 5: inter faith marriages. Personally, I would say about fifty percent 125 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 5: of the people I marry are marrying somebody who's not Jewish, 126 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 5: But I always ask them to think of whether their 127 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 5: partner is Jewish adjacent, are they Jewish friendly? 128 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 2: Are they Jewish connected? 129 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 5: And in those cases they tend to be supporters of 130 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 5: this idea of marrying somebody for another faith. 131 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: Lee, Are you finding that as well? And I know 132 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: you spent time in California in Colorado as well, you 133 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: know you think of those typical kind of liberal areas. 134 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: Are you finding that? 135 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 4: I agree, I second everything that Rabbi Josh said. There's 136 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 4: much more, especially in the more liberal Jewish streams, willingness 137 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 4: to not just accept in our faith coupled in our 138 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 4: faith marriages, but to do so in a way that's 139 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 4: really welcome, not just accepting, but embracing of. And I 140 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 4: would agree easily half the couples that I interact with 141 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 4: that are looking for someone to officiate their wedding, our 142 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 4: inner faith couples and not just inner faith couples that 143 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 4: are looking to be married in a Jewish setting by 144 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 4: a rabbi, but as so far as for a rabbi 145 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 4: to co officiate at times with a non Jewish clergy member. 146 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 4: And that's even the next step. And so that's a 147 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 4: big conversation of what does it look like to not 148 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 4: just have a Jewish home, but for truly an inter 149 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 4: faith home. And that becomes a little bit more controversial 150 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 4: and a little bit more talked about. But I'm absolutely 151 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 4: seeing it more and more. 152 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: That's good. It's you know, as I say told my cousin, 153 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: you know, I said, look, and my grandparents, as devout 154 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: as they were in Judaism, they were so welcoming of 155 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: everyone in our house. And as my grandmother would say, 156 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: love it spoken here. So if you know, if you're 157 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: a good citizen, a good person like you're, you're welcome here. 158 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: And they would visit with you know, nuns and priests 159 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: and and they they really had an open mind, which 160 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: was pretty amazing considering, you know, the fifties and sixties 161 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: and seventies when they were you know, so high in 162 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:32,719 Speaker 1: the temple. This show, what's interesting with the show is 163 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: that it's a little different. We take it to another 164 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: another level, which is the rabbi himself.

My wife was walking 183 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 5: in behind, and there was a mom who said to 184 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 5: her daughter, Oh, look the rabbi. 185 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 2: He's hot. 186 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 5: And then the daughter turned to her and said, oh, 187 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 5: he's the rabbi mom. 188 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 2: Leah. 189 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: What do you think about how they have portrayed Adam 190 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: Brody as this young, hip, cool rabbi. 191 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 3: Listen. 192 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 4: I think that it's not just the hot rabbi. I 193 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 4: think they're portraying him as a relatable rabbi. I think 194 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 4: that there's the misconception that rabbis look or talk or 195 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 4: act a certain way. But as somebody who got ordained 196 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 4: from rabbinical school and started working as a rabbi, I 197 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 4: was twenty seven right when I started, there's something about 198 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 4: being a relatable rabbi that felt really important to me, 199 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 4: and that it's very clear that Adam Brodie's character is 200 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 4: also portraying, whether intentionally or not, right, we don't know 201 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 4: what he's actually thinking about it, but there's something It's 202 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 4: not just the hot rabbi, but it's the relatable rabbi 203 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 4: and the what we'll call as people describe as the 204 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 4: normal rabbi, right, that they're a person in addition to 205 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 4: a rabbi, and that that's something that he's showing. 206 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: So clearly, I'd be interested to know enough to, you know, someday, 207 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: would love to talk to the writer, the creator of 208 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: the show because as someone who did grew up around 209 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: the temple shout out to Temple Shalom in Dallas, as 210 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: someone who did I as a child, I remember the 211 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: prototypical stereotypical rabbi elder, you know, the the slow speaking 212 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: Hebrew and the low, you know, base voice. But I'd 213 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: be interesting to know if that was intentional because there 214 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: is a movement. I've seen that in at Temple Shalom 215 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: as well, where there's a young female rabbi and things 216 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: are I hate to use the word hip, but maybe 217 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: modern and revised and Leah, I don't know if you've 218 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: seen that elsewhere in the country, but it seems like 219 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: there is that movement which is wonderful to see, and 220 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,719 Speaker 1: maybe that's what they were actually trying to capture in 221 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: this show. 222 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 3: One hundred percent. 223 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 4: I think about to be honest with my own friends, 224 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 4: my friends from rabbinical school, that are if we're out 225 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 4: and not right at work or at some professional obligation, 226 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 4: that you wouldn't know we were a group of rabbis, right. 227 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 4: Like one of my favorites is, you know what it 228 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 4: means for the rabbi in the show to go to 229 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 4: a bar on Friday night after services, And I have 230 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 4: certainly gone to a bar on Friday night after services, 231 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 4: and that feels like a very normal thing for me. 232 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 4: Right that sometimes Friday night means working a Shabbot service 233 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 4: and then going to a shabat dinner, but sometimes it 234 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 4: means working a Shabad service and then going out with 235 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 4: my friends after and either of those are very normal 236 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 4: Friday nights for me. 237 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: Wait, you're human. 238 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 3: It's right, It's. 239 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 4: It's about being a human, a young human, and a 240 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 4: young human living in a vibrant city with a nightlife 241 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 4: and with a social life. And what that looks like 242 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 4: is something that felt made his character feel so relatable 243 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 4: to me and like a humanizing aspect of the Rabbinant. 244 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: And Josh we mentioned about, you know, kind of the 245 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: modern take. You know, depending on again on what temple 246 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: you go to and your particular proclivities and what you think. 247 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: But more and more you're seeing people date outside their religion. 248 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: But what about a rabbi. What if one of you 249 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: were interested in a you know, she's agnostic in the 250 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: in the show, but say Catholic, could be Episcopal, could 251 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: be anything. How would that be looked upon at temple. 252 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 5: It's such a complex question because it obviously depends on 253 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 5: the circumstance. 254 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 2: I think it happens. 255 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 5: There are rabbis out there, single rabbis who are dating, 256 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 5: and maybe some of them are finding love with somebody 257 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 5: who's outside of the faith. The question is actually both 258 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 5: how the congregational would respond, which I think is always 259 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 5: going to be bad at first. 260 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 2: Right, it's going to be controversial, it's. 261 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 5: Going to be a scandal, and then how does the 262 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 5: rabbi deal with it? How does the rabbi bring that 263 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 5: person into the community. And quite frankly, it's hard to 264 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 5: imagine somebody wanting to date the rabbi that wouldn't be 265 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 5: at least interested in learning more about the faith. 266 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 2: And that to me is ultimately the answer. 267 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 5: If the rabbi is going to bring someone from outside 268 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 5: of the faith into Jewish tradition and into the congregational 269 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 5: life and they want to deal with us as the rabbi, welcome, I'm. 270 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: Glad they're there. 271 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: And Leah, one thing that is very real that also 272 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: they hit this note well, is the coconut telegraph at Temple. 273 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: The Jewish community. Word gets out and gets around. 274 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 4: Quickly, So I would add to that first of course, 275 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 4: gets around quickly. And there's no hiding when you're dating. 276 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 4: Somebody knew at the beginning of when I started working 277 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 4: at my current synagogue, I wasn't in a relationship. 278 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 3: I was dating. 279 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 4: And it's very real that when you tell somebody you 280 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 4: are a rabbi and you're dating. And I was living 281 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 4: in New Jersey, but just adjacent to New York City. 282 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 4: I was living just across the river, so I was 283 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 4: dating in New York and in the New York area. 284 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 4: When you tell somebody you are a rabbi, whether they're 285 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 4: Jewish or not, that immediately either draws them in or 286 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 4: it pushes them away, and you don't have to get 287 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 4: further past what do you do for work? 288 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 3: Oh, I'm a rabbi. 289 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 4: It weeds people out that have no interest in dating 290 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 4: a rabbi, and so. 291 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 3: Is it a I would agree with Rabbi Josh. 292 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 4: When he says that somebody has to want to date 293 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 4: a rabbi, or be at least be willing to engage 294 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 4: in the Jewish faith if they're willing to say yes 295 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 4: to a second, third, fourth date with somebody who's a rabbi. 296 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 4: I would also say that no matter who the person is, 297 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 4: that again, people talk. The synagogue talks. The first time 298 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 4: you bring them to a synagogue event, everybody is going 299 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 4: to be talking. I've experienced that firsthand more than once. 300 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: It's your red carpet. I remember my own wife Lauren. 301 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: It's like, okay, we're going red carpet official tonight. Get 302 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: like here, you have that conversation. That is y'all's version 303 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: of red carpet official yep. 304 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 4: And when I the first time I brought my now 305 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 4: husband to the synagogue and I had to okay his outfit. 306 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 4: I had to tell him who to look out for, 307 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 4: what sort of things to talk about, what sort of 308 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 4: things were off to talk about, prepared answers to hot 309 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 4: questions he might get. So it really is there. Somebody 310 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 4: has to want to do all of that in order 311 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 4: to get to that point. 312 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, Josh, the kids call it the hard launch. That's 313 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 1: one thing in the show. I don't think they hit 314 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: that hard enough of like the hard launch would have 315 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: been as a rabbi, especially an aspiring rabbi. He was 316 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: looking to become the head rabbi, he would have been 317 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: a little more thoughtful about the hard launch. 318 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 2: For sure. 319 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 5: But it's not just about introducing a dating partner. It's 320 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 5: the fact that people are watching us all the time. 321 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 5: They are watching what we eat, they are watching where 322 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,360 Speaker 5: we live, they're watching. 323 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 2: How we act. 324 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 5: I cannot tell you the number of times that I 325 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 5: have made mistakes of not recognizing that somebody was watching me, 326 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 5: and it could be disastrous depending on what the circumstance 327 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 5: is I can't tell you all the stories because it'll. 328 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 2: Be the last day of my career. But you know 329 00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 2: there are stories to. 330 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 5: Be told about people seeing us behaving maybe not the 331 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 5: way you would think a rabbi should behave. 332 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: No one looks good eating linguini. Don't worry about it. 333 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: There's no there's no really pretty way to eat spaghetti. 334 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: What I also liked about the show Nobody Wants This 335 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: and Adam Broding's character is the layers to it, all, right, 336 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: there's the emotional, there's love, and then there is the 337 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: aspiration of it's a business decision. You know we think of, 338 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 1: you know, people of God, rabbis, priests, whatever it's like. Well, 339 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: they also are trying to ascend, not just metaphorically, they're 340 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: also you know, literally trying to ascend and become a 341 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: leader of bigger congregation and take over a synagogue. And 342 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: so I like that they also touch on his career 343 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: aspirations because that's real. 344 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 2: It's it's really a huge part of the story. 345 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 5: And I'm glad you mentioned it because there are two 346 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 5: pieces to me that are equal opposites. One is the 347 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 5: scenes at the summer camp where he's trying to be 348 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 5: cool with the kids, and she's trying. 349 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 2: To be cool with the kids. 350 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 5: And quite frankly, a lot of my career was working 351 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 5: with teenagers, trying to be cool with the kids. But 352 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 5: the double edged sort of that is that in being 353 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 5: cool with the kids, you might say something do something 354 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,360 Speaker 5: that's inappropriate. You know, there's actually a great story from 355 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 5: when I was younger. 356 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 2: I thought it was the cool Rabbi. 357 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 5: I'm taking trips to Israel and around the country with 358 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 5: our teenagers, and I was playing a game where you 359 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 5: actually replace the word one word of a movie title 360 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 5: with genitalia. 361 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,360 Speaker 1: Part oh boy, oh boy. 362 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 5: It's great fun until I came home and one of 363 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 5: the parents was waiting to talk to me about the 364 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 5: game that I had played with their child. 365 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 2: Right, So, people, on one hand, I want to move 366 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 2: up in my career. On the other hand, I want. 367 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 5: To be cool and hip and engaging, and they don't 368 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 5: always match. 369 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: Leah as a younger rabbi feel that part of the show. 370 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 1: Did you relate to that? 371 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there is the balance of being like 372 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 4: young and cool and being who I'll say, being who 373 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 4: you are, right, it's not who you are at that 374 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 4: current point in your life. Right for me, at the 375 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 4: current stage I am in my life, I'm very different 376 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 4: in my personal life than how I am then maybe 377 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 4: what I'll be right twenty years down the line. But 378 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 4: I have to be thinking about where I want to 379 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 4: be twenty years down the line in making the decisions 380 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 4: that I do now to reach that point in my career. 381 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 3: Right. 382 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 4: So I think he very much is balancing it, and 383 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 4: you see him having a really hard time with balancing 384 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 4: that because he's thinking about where he currently is and 385 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 4: dating and in this relationship, and he wants to be 386 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 4: in the moment of now of being with this woman 387 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 4: who's not Jewish but who he's really having fun with 388 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 4: and who he's really starting to potentially fall in love with. 389 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 4: And he's thinking about that in the now, but in 390 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 4: the back of his mind he has, oh, where am 391 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 4: I trying to be? And for him it's not twenty 392 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 4: years for him, it's maybe a year or two, and 393 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 4: knowing that that might not line up. And so it's 394 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 4: a very real thing to say, where do I want 395 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 4: to be in five, ten, fifteen, twenty years in my 396 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 4: rabbinic career? But where am I right now? And how 397 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 4: do those things blend together and how can I keep 398 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 4: them separate? And he's really showing that. 399 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 1: I want to play and I won't pick either one 400 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: of you. So jump in if you have an answer 401 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: to this. Hits and misses with the show, nobody wants this. 402 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: What hit where you're like, oh wow, they really hit 403 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: the nail on the head in the Jewish faith or 404 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: a temple or what have you? Or what missed? What 405 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: was the one where you're like, come on, like, that's 406 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 1: a bridge to fall that never happens. Did anything stand 407 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 1: out to you? 408 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 5: For me, the hit was the scene when Kristen Bell's 409 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 5: character walks into the synagogue for the first time and 410 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 5: every woman is introducing their niece and. 411 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 2: Talking about their daughter. That obviously exaggerated, but it's real. 412 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 2: It's real. 413 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 5: Everybody wants a piece of the rabbi. That's a real piece. 414 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 5: The other part that maybe hit home really but also 415 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 5: was challenging was the Tova Felche character Bena Right. I mean, 416 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 5: it might be real, but also was a little cringey 417 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 5: because it was a little too real. 418 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 2: And I'm not sure we want to show that out 419 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 2: in the real world. 420 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 5: So for me that she did a fabulous job of 421 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 5: the character, and it was also a little hard to stomach. 422 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: Leah anything, I. 423 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 4: Think there were so many hits. There really were. I 424 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 4: think one of the missus was similar to what Josh 425 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 4: said with the some of the depictions of the Jewish 426 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 4: women in the show that hold on some stereotypes that again, 427 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 4: I you know, there's many different reasons why a woman 428 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 4: might be angry, including if you know there's a new 429 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 4: woman who comes in and is dating your best friend's ex. 430 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 3: Right, naturally you aren't going to be the friendliest. 431 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 4: But some of the depictions of Jewish women that are 432 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 4: tropes throughout the show is I think a little. 433 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: Bit hard interesting. 434 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 3: Okay, I think there were. I think there were a 435 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 3: lot of hits. 436 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 4: I think the definitely the synagogue scene. I think some 437 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 4: aspects of the camps scenes some were I think a 438 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 4: little bit exaggerated, but I think some have felt really 439 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 4: all about Jewish Camp. 440 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 3: So so many hits throughout it. 441 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: So I'm trying I want to ask this question without 442 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: really being a spoiler, because the show is kind of new, 443 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: but they've picked it up for season two, which is 444 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: great news, and its first of all, it just I 445 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: just has nothing to do with the Jewish Faith. I'm 446 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: just so excited that just a simple family rom com. 447 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: I mean, I know there's some language and stuff like that, 448 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: but for the most part, it's just a simple, clean 449 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: watch and it's just so nice to have It's a 450 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: happy film or a happy show. For the most part, 451 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: I'm like, it's just good to have that on TV. Again. 452 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it, and I think it's kind of 453 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 1: what resonated. We all don't have to be in a 454 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: bad mood and everything doesn't have to mean everything all 455 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: the time, you know what I mean, Like we could 456 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: just laugh and it could be silly. So, without trying 457 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 1: to give too much away, do we think the Rabbi 458 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: will find love with Kristen Bell's character And we don't know. 459 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: We don't know, but we're heading into season two, Leah, 460 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: what do you think? 461 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 3: I think so. 462 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 4: I think it's the only way that that it works. 463 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 4: It's like a Christmas Hallmark movie, like. 464 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 3: What would that be out? Finding love at the end. 465 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 4: I think it's going to be a little a little 466 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 4: how do we get there is the question, but I 467 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,880 Speaker 4: think they have to otherwise what are we doing? 468 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 3: Rabbit? 469 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,719 Speaker 2: Josh, what do you think totally totally the same answer. 470 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 5: How could it end without the two of them staying 471 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 5: in love and finding each other at the end of 472 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 5: the story. The question is what's going to happen to 473 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 5: make those things occur? 474 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and you know, look, there's the moonlighting theory. 475 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: Rabbi Lee, you might be a little young for this, 476 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: but Bruce willis Sybil Shepherd, huge movie or show back 477 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: in the day on Network TV, and it was when 478 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: they finally got together. You're like, all right, well, the 479 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: show's over, so you kind of have to keep dangling 480 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: that carrot and keep running us around. But overall, I 481 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 1: just I wanted to have you all on. Thank you 482 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: so much for having a serious but seriously lighthearted conversation 483 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 1: about the Jewish faith, about finding love.

We can take the serious, and 506 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: we'll have to handle the serious in our lives. But 507 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, there's love, and it's 508 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 1: something we all want. It's something we all relate to. 509 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: There's the companionship, and so it's a beautiful thing. And 510 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 1: so I'm glad that to hear that you guys are 511 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: discussing this on well.
