Pull up a chair, pour yourself a glass of something good, and unwind with this week’s Havdalah Happy Hour! Tonight we’re joined by Amanda from Kvetch & Co for a post-Shabbat conversation full of laughs.

We kick things off with a (heated) debate: matzah pizza vs. regular pizza — which one reigns supreme? From there, we give you a sneak peek at this year’s biggest event: LIVE! From Beth El — and yes, The Fonz himself (Henry Winkler) will be in the building!

And as always, we wrap things up with our beloved segment: Shonda of the Week — who brought the drama this time? Tune in and find out.

This week, Ben Kreshtool and Cantor Emily Ellentuck dive into Parshat Shemini as we continue in the Book of Leviticus.

What sets the Jewish people apart from others? And more importantly—what does it mean to be holy in our everyday lives?

From the food we eat to the prayers we say, holiness isn’t a once-a-week event—it’s a daily choice. Ben and Cantor Emily explore how everyday actions can become sacred, why Judaism encourages us not to cancel out a mitzvah, and how we can bring intention and meaning into even the most routine moments.
