Jewish Matchmaking? On Netflix? Who could have predicted this a year ago? Now that The Bagels have finished bingeing the series, they got a chance to speak with the utterly delightful comedian Pamela Schuller about her standup, dating with Tourette's and disability inclusion.A long-ago meeting with the show's matchmaker, Aleeza Ben Shalom, built trust and laid the groundwork for Pamela's appearance on the series (she's four-foot-six and went on a date with Stuart) — and the rest is (very recent) history. Pamela, as always, was authentic and funny, answering questions about the show, the difference between her standup gigs and her inclusion/advocacy gigs, putting herself out there and the search for a partner.

Jewish people who have lived are immortalized not just by streets and libraries on earth but on objects and landscapes in space that may or may not ever experience human occupation. If you've played Jewish geography with friends or feel a joyful affinity when learning that a historic figure such as scientist is Jewish then […]
The question of whether the co-wives of a daughter would be permitted to the brothers... As answered in the time of R. Dosa ben Hyrcanus, in accord with Beit Shammai (which is a startling alignment). He was elderly and rather homebound, so he wasn't available for consultation or elaboration on his psak, so eventually, a crew of rabbis make the trek to his home. And the Gemara presents what seems to be the entirety of their visit and inquiry. Plus, the harsh language among brothers... (and then we meet him too). Also, lessons from Haggai the prophet, about the case of the co-wives of the daughter, the tithing in Jordan, and details about whom we accept how easily for conversion. Specifically, two groups of people who would have thought to have factors that would invalidate them as possible converts -- but the names of these groups are similar to two groups that were indeed valid to convert, which muddies things. Which leads into questions of different standards, how much Jewish practice does it take to be considered Jewish, etc. Plus, a discussion of the non-Jews and their desecration if the first Beit HaMikdash, which is held against the Tarmodim (one of the groups), and the violence against women in war... With implications for Jewish lineage...

In this episode, Ashley is joined by friend Jess to talk about how distance, drinking, and running into people (for better or for worse) plays a factor in dating in each city. Jess also discusses her experience with Jewish geography both in LA and Philly, and how even though a city can be large, sometimes being in a tight-knit community can make it feel small. They talk about the stress of driving to dates, getting stuck if you start drinking away from home, and Jess shares a story about pre-gaming a date a little too hard.

Caroline Dorn and Ellie Klein Goldman are the women between @RogueShul. Until this week, the account was anonymous, but that didn't stop it from being at the center of many delightful conversations for people active in the Reform movement (and beyond). The account was from the POV of imaginary synagogue staff dedicated to the mission and the people, but a little exasperated from time to time.Ellie and I are from the same hometown in Indiana (aka The Crossroads of America), her bestie from Camp GUCI is my Rabbi's daughter, and her younger brother was in my class at Woodrow Wilson Junior High. In 2021, Ellie and Caroline are launching the Real Time Strategy Group to help synagogues and teams with trainings, workshops and professional development.
