The gang is finally back together after a few weeks away, and the energy is exactly what we needed. Join Ben Kreshtool, Jill Suffel, and Cantor Emily Ellentuck as we dive into all things Passover, plus a recap of the holidays we’ve celebrated since we were last together.

We also couldn’t resist sharing the incredible finds and fabulous buys from Unique Boutique — comment below with your favorite vendor or the item you snagged this year. From there, the conversation drifted into local sports talk, plenty of laughter, and the pure joy of rekindling the happiest of hours post‑Shabbat.

And yes… it wouldn’t be Havdalah Happy Hour without our signature blessing of the week, shonda of the week, and a little weather talk sprinkled in for good measure.

✨ Tune in and listen.

Joe Buchanan sat down with Cantor ​Melanie Blatt Schuster for a deep‑dive into his brand‑new album Heaven and Earth—15 tracks of original Jewish country music straight from the heart.

They talked about the stories behind the songs (including the super‑personal “My Beloved” and “Goodnight My Love”), Joe’s creative process, and how he and his wife April shape every detail—down to panning sound effects in the direction Hebrew is read.

Joe also shared what he’s looking forward to most about his May 4th concert at Beth El, performing with Shir Hadash, and spending time with Cantor’​s family while he’s in town.
