About this listen

 What happens when three friends who are also rabbis get together to discuss Jewish life, religious life, rabbinic life and life life? Rabbis Jeffrey Weill, Matt Reimer and Josh Rose don't know but aim to find out. In the process they'll share their thoughts about pressing issues we all face - in the Jewish community and beyond.2024 Judaism Spirituality

  • S3E19 Strings Attached: The Challenge of Jewish Life in This Moment

    S3E19 Strings Attached: The Challenge of Jewish Life in This Moment
    May 6 2026

    Three rabbis reunite after a hiatus with no agenda and plenty to say. They wade into the fraught waters of Israel, the war, Yom HaZikaron, and what it means to hold nuance in a community that often demands a party line — then somehow end up in a heated debate about strings in rock music, Charlie Daniels, and whether Phil Spector ruined "The Long and Winding Road." Josh admits he's been hiding from Israel discourse behind his guitar, Jeff cops to being emotionally "buffeted" by the whole thing, and Matt drops the news that he's heading to the pulpit of a major New York synagogue this summer. It's the classic Weird Being Jewish formula: serious stuff, silly detours, and genuine friendship holding it all together.

    S2E17 A Jewish Take on Anger
    Feb 19 2026

    Rabbis Matt and Josh kick around the idea of anger - which is having its moment in the world, it seems - and what the Jewish tradition has to say about it. Rabbi Jeffrey is out this week on an all-expense-paid trip to Ferrett, Alabama for their regionally famous hat-expo. He will return for the next episode.
