Adam is sober this time and very sorry about the strip club incident that went down when he was previously in town. If you don't know what I'm talking about go back and watch that one episode of 2 Bears, 1 Cave. This week, Tom drops a few announcements and Adam's got a new show dropping on Netflix June 19th. But before any of that, they watch the opening clip, which inspires a debate about toxic masculinity and homophobia. From there they get into the Kevin Hart roast fallout, Tony Hinchcliffe's Comedy Store grind, and the two comics who nearly broke "Dr. Phil Live". Adam also tells the story of Brad Williams taking him to a webcam porn shoot in a strip mall right before Passover Seder. They watch Backwards Brenda, a hick influencer in a Walmart parking lot, roast a Portuguese woman's forehead with the help of the comment section, and run some Horrible or Hilarious clips including carnival disasters and a man who doesn't learn from his mistake. Somehow it all ends with Mr. Hands, the internet legend who died because the wrong horse showed up. Yeah, this episode gets pretty dark for some reason. Enjoy!

We Jews are obsessed with telling stories – as the core of the Passover Seder and beyond.  The obsession to do so is woven into the fabric of Jewish life and practice.  Through interpreting our people's narrative, we become the story we tell about ourselves and we partner with God in completing creation.

Rabbi Pink explains how the Passover Seder demonstrates the importance of asking questions and learning from everyone around us.

WATCH THE EPISODE HEREIn this EpisodeHighlights & “Must-Listen” Moments* 0:04 — Another chaotic start: David accidentally goes live 10 minutes early, Amy drops off before we've even begun, and Domenica Marchetti is sitting patiently waiting while the hosts sort themselves out. Welcome to live television, folks, take two.* 5:47 — Big news: SiriusXM signed us!: David announces that SiriusXM has reached out, signed a $2.1 million contract, and created an entire channel called “Culinistas” for them. Amy plays it beautifully straight — until someone notices it's April 1st. David: “Do you realize SiriusXM has no idea who we are? I bought it!” April Fools. Amy: 1, David: 1.* 9:39 — Amy's food week: Providence, Rhode Island food festival: Amy attended a celebration of Providence's dining scene — a city that, like Portland, Maine, punches way above its weight in food culture. She toured Johnson & Wales College of Culinary Arts, did a panel with food writer elyse major, and came away wanting to move there immediately.* 11:41 — This week's bread bake: the Levain: Amy's sourdough rhythm continues — this week a classic nearly-all-white sourdough with a touch of rye flour. A Levain. Beautiful and tangy.* 11:53 — Amy's Passover Seder prep: Amy is getting her brisket going and making chicken stock for matzo ball soup. Her Seder menu also includes crispy glazed sweet potatoes (mandolined, stood up like hassleback, glazed with brown sugar and butter) and roasted asparagus with Parmesan.* 13:02 — David's food week: Portuguese Flourless Almond Cake disaster: David attempted his Portuguese almond flourless cake — a recipe he hadn't made in 25 years — for Passover at Fred and Ginger's house. He forgot the butter. Alan had to drive to the gas station to buy eggs. ADHD: 1, David: 0. He went to an ADHD coach this week, however — and reports it's going well.* 15:01 — Domenica's food week: Domenica's retired husband has been doing all the cooking, which has been wonderful. Highlights: grilled swordfish steaks with asparagus and roasted red pepper, and enchiladas made with a whole rotisserie chicken — left on the counter overnight, tragically.* 17:00 — Crab cake catastrophe: The One was making crab cakes from one-year-old canned crab. The tongue-tingling was histamine poisoning. They tasted it anyway. Don't be like David.* 19:41 — Book spotlight: Pimento Cheese: The Cookbook by Rebecca Lang: David recommends this deep dive into pimento cheese from the author of Around the Southern Table — lemony goat cheese pimento, Tex-Mex pimento, pineapple pimento, and pimento cheese with chili crunch. David riffs on his own deep-fried pimento cheese balls: firmed in the freezer, rolled in panko, fried at 375°F until oozy and golden.* 22:31 — Mrs. Appleyard's Vermont kitchen: Amy goes vintage with Louise Andrews Kent, who wrote under the pen name Mrs. Appleyard — a sort of 1940s–50s Martha Stewart of northern Vermont who wrote seasonal cookbooks chronicling life in the tiny town of Crosbury Common. Charming, funny, and findable in used bookshops.* 24:52 — Food news: Copenhagen's $340 chicken prix-fixe: A restaurant called Kylling (Danish for “chicken”) invites guests to spend the first 90 minutes of their dinner interacting with the chicken that will be served. The bread basket features cardamom buns made with chicken schmaltz. Art, or a lie? David fell for for. Again, April Fools. Amy: 2, David: 1.* 26:03 — Instagram's shadow ban on non-overhead food photos (April Fools, part 2): A “leaked memo” claims Instagram will shadow ban any food not photographed from above — including soup shot from the side. Amy almost sold it. David: “It was believable. I believe everything.” April Fools. Amy: 3, David: 1.* 27:53 — Guest: Domenica Marchetti on Italian Cookies: The main event. Domenica is a prolific food writer and the author of nine acclaimed cookbooks. Her new book, Italian Cookies: Authentic Recipes and Sweet Stories from Every Region, drops April 14th. It covers the genuine, regional Italian cookies — not Italian-American cookies (no rainbow cookies, no iced anise rounds) — organized by the north, central Italy, the south, and the islands.* 29:51 — The cookie that started it all: Canestraletto di Torigna: In 2017, Domenica bit into this crumbly, flower-shaped butter cookie from Liguria (Genoa) and fell down a rabbit hole. She went to the town where it's baked, found it has a history dating to the 15th century, and discovered a town of 2,000 people with eight bakeries dedicated to this one cookie.* 31:16 — Cookie pilgrimage: from Liguria to Saronno: From there it was the amaretti di Gavi (soft almond cookies from Gavi), then Voltaggio, then Saronno — where Domenica interviewed Paolo Lazzaroni, patriarch of the Chiostro di Saronno, the family behind the famous crunchy amaretti. His grandfather purchased a medieval cloister in the early 20th century, where the family has lived and worked ever since.* 34:03 — What's in the book (and what isn't): The book is organized regionally — cookies of the north, central Italy, the south, and the islands. In the islands chapter: Sicilian cucidati (buccellati) — butter pastry filled with fig paste, nuts, and chocolate. Not included: rainbow cookies, Italian-American iced anise rounds. This is Italy, not the neighborhood bakery.* 36:21 — Deep dive on the Serpetti: From the Castelli Romani hill towns outside Rome (where the Pope summers), these S-shaped butter cookies are made by a fifth-generation family in Monteportio Catone. The baker, Paola Rosazza Battore, wouldn't share her recipe — but let Domenica watch. Through pure visual reporting, Domenica reverse-engineered it.* 44:31 — Regional cookie trends from north to south: Butter in the north. Olive oil in the south and Calabria. Lard in some regions. Honey and mostocotto (cooked grape must) in areas where sugar was once scarce. The cookies reflect the landscape, the agriculture, and the history of each place.* 56:54 — Coming back: Domenica hints that this conversation is far from over. David floats the idea of a live “Mouthful” where Domenica bakes a cookie while they talk to her. She's in.* 57:51 — Farewell to Domenica: She's a prolific food writer, author of nine acclaimed cookbooks — from handmade pasta to preserving to traditional Italian cooking — and one of the most trusted voices in regional Italian cuisine. Italian Cookies drops April 14th.

The How of Passover - What is the Passover Seder, and how is the feast of Passover celebrated by Jews the world over? The so-called Last Supper of Jesus was actually a Passover Seder. It is where He established Communion, and elements of the Seder point directly to Him and His blood sacrifice for the salvation of all.

WOW!!!

We've all been to a Seder. We know the songs, the matzah, the wine… and somehow, we still walk out the same person. But what if the Seder was never meant to be a ritual you attend, but a process you go through?In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath uncovers the Seder as a 15-step journey of real transformation. A map for getting unstuck, from old habits, inner resistance, fear, and emotional baggage. Not just leaving Egypt… but finally letting Egypt leave you. This isn't about doing the Seder better. It's about becoming different because of it.Key Points:The Seder isn't a story, it's a step-by-step process of inner freedomWhy we start with holiness before fixing ourselves (Kadesh before Urchatz)The power of being “broken” (Yachatz) as the beginning of real growthWhy we eat matzah (freedom) before maror (pain) and what that says about healingHow each step of the Seder reflects a stage in emotional and spiritual transformationIdentifying your personal “Egypt” what's actually holding you backHow to walk into your Seder this year with intention and walk out different #Passover #Pesach  #Seder  #JewishWisdom  #Kabbalah  #InnerFreedom  #spiritualgrowth  #personalgrowth  #LetMyPeopleGo  #FromStuckToFree  #chassidus  #JewishLife  #MindsetShift  #HealingJourney  #Transformation  #RabbiBernath #chabad #PersonalExodus Available now:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Experiment-What-Would-Your/dp/1069217638Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR2QNJL6Audiobook: https://bit.ly/4tPFZhVSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

"זה לא הכלב שלך!"En: “Noa!” he called. “That's not your dog!”He: "מה פתאום?" היא ענתה, בוהה בכלב. "אה, יכול להיות..."En: “What do you mean?” she replied, staring at the dog. “Oh, maybe…”He: אריאל ידע שאין זמן לבזבז.En: Ariel knew there was no time to waste.He: עם תחילתו של ערב החג, האורחים התחילו להגיע.En: With the start of the holiday evening, the guests began to arrive.He: ומיד כשהגיע אורח הראשון, כל האירוע הפך לפיצוץ.En: And as soon as the first guest arrived, the whole event turned explosive.He: שני כלבים זהים לגמרי, עם עניבות פרפר מיוחדות לכבוד החג, עמדו בכניסה, נובחים בהתלהבות.En: Two identical dogs, with special bow ties for the holiday, stood at the entrance, barking excitedly.He: האורחים התחילו לצחוק, ואפילו אריאל, שלרגע היה קצת נבוך, לא יכל להתאפק מהחיוך.En: The guests started to laugh, and even Ariel, who was a bit embarrassed at first, couldn't help but smile.He: עם כל הדרך שהחג עובר, הלילה ההוא זכור לכולם כלילה שבו התקבלו אורחים נוספים לא צפויים.En: With the way the holiday progressed, that night was remembered by everyone as the night when unexpected guests were welcomed.He: שני הכלבים הפכו לזמן קצר לגיבורי האירוע, כשהם נחים ליד השולחן ומקבלים פה ושם חיוכים וליטופים.En: The two dogs briefly became the heroes of the event, resting by the table and receiving smiles and caresses here and there.He: בסופו של דבר, אריאל למד שיעור חשוב.En: In the end, Ariel learned an important lesson.He: הילל לא תמיד מושלם - הוא מלא באושר ובחוויות ייחודיות.En: A holiday isn't always perfect - it's full of happiness and unique experiences.He: במהלך החג, הוא הבין שההתכנסויות האלה הן לא רק על הכנת כל פרט לפרטים, אלא על רוח השמחה והצחוק שמשתפת את הכל הסובבים.En: During the holiday, he realized that these gatherings are not just about preparing every detail meticulously but about the spirit of joy and laughter that encompasses everyone around.

The food is ready. The table is set. The Haggadah is in place. But the Seder was never meant to be something you run. It's something you enter. In this class, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath reframes Seder preparation, not as logistics, but as inner work. From the wine to the matzah, from the questions to the story, every detail becomes a doorway into something deeper: presence, identity, freedom, and transformation. Because the real preparation for Pesach isn't just cleaning your home. It's clearing space within yourself. This class walks you through how to prepare not just your table… but your mindset, your heart, and your story—so when the Seder begins, you're not just going through it… You're living it.Key Takeaways1. The Seder isn't a performance, it's an experience: You can do everything “right”… and miss the point. The goal isn't perfection. It's presence. Come as you are and step in fully.2. Freedom is personal: Everyone has their own cup of wine—because everyone has their own Egypt. The question isn't just what happened back then. It's: Where am I stuck right now and what would freedom look like for me?3. Matzah is not just food, it's truth: Flat. Simple. No fluff. Freedom begins when you stop performing and start being real. Less image. More honesty.4. The Seder holds opposites and so can you: Pain and gratitude. Bitterness and growth. Slavery and freedom. Real growth isn't choosing one over the other. It's learning how to hold both.5. Curiosity is the gateway to freedom: The Seder is built on questions. Not because we don't know, but because we're still growing. The moment you stop asking… you stop moving.6. You don't need everything to begin: We break the matzah and tell the story over the smaller piece. Because transformation doesn't start when you “have it all together.” It starts with what you have right now.7. The story only works if you're in it: If there's no personal connection… it's just history. The Seder becomes powerful when you realize: You're not telling their story. You're telling yours.8. Freedom is built in small, intentional choices: Not one dramatic moment. But step by step. Choice by choice. Leaving Egypt is not an event. It's a process.9.Available now:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Experiment-What-Would-Your/dp/1069217638Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR2QNJL6Audiobook: https://bit.ly/4tPFZhVSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?

Touching on one rabbi's response to a pro-Palestine campus display and the Passover Seder, Rabbi Zuckerman reminds us that to be a Jew is to tell a story that begins in pain, but does not end there; rather, it's to insist that there is a path from suffering to hope.

Passover is our freedom holiday. On Passover night at the Seder, we tell the story of how the Almighty liberated us from slavery in Egypt. Are we free today? Half the world's Jews live under foreign regimes. The other half live in Israel, which is far from independent today, living under dictates and limitations from the White House. What's more, Israel's anti-emuna government and military discriminate against Torah-observant Jews in more ways than one. Is that freedom? If we're not free, then why tell the story of Passover? Let's find out, with this lovely parable that you can tell at your Passover Seder table.

We welcome ministry partner and special guest Cyril Gordon as he breaks down the Passover Seder and shows how every element—matzah, the four cups, and the removal of leaven—points directly to Jesus Christ and the gospel. This powerful teaching connects Jewish tradition to its fulfillment in Christ and highlights the meaning behind Communion. Also included is a recent update from Cyril's Venice Beach ministry, where he shares real stories of evangelism, salvation, and gospel outreach in a spiritually challenging environment. Learn more about Cyril and the ministry he is doing here: https://savethejews.org/cyril-gordon/ We'd love to invite you to join us at Harvest Church in Arroyo Grande. Come grow in God's Word, experience authentic community, and worship Jesus with us. Whether you're new to faith or have been walking with the Lord for years, there is a place for you here. Join us Sundays at 9am & 11am, and learn more at www.agharvest.org.

Pastor Mark, on this last Shabbat before the Passover Seder, prepares us for the commandment of footwashing and the importance to have our hearts prepared before we take the Third Cup.  If taken in an unworthy manner, Scripture says that one may be weak, sick or even die according 1 Corinthians 11:27-30. 

This Palm Sunday, Pastor Rob takes us into the final week of Jesus' life and the cups that tell the whole story. From the Passover Seder table to the Garden of Gethsemane, every cup points to something deeper — redemption, wrath, and an invitation into relationship with God.The Cup of Redemption reminds us that Jesus is our Passover Lamb — His body broken, His blood poured out to set us free. The Cup of Wrath reveals what it cost Him — He drank the full penalty of our sin so we wouldn't have to. And the Cup of Relationship? That's His offer to us — a new covenant, an invitation to come to the table.The question isn't whether the cup has been offered. It's whether we'll accept it.

IntroductionHaving previously explored the four cups of wine minimum at the Passover Seder in Rabbinic literature on episode #62 of The Jewish Drinking Show, there also exists in the Babylonian Talmud a text relating to the fifth cup of wine at the Passover Seder. This 190th episode of The Jewish Drinking Show explores this text with first-time guest, Dr. Leor Jacobi. A couple of further episodes that we reference within this episode are episode #25 (Demons and the Four Cups of Wine at the Passover Seder with Rabbi Alana Suskin) & episode #99 (Demons and the Four Cups of Wine at the Passover Seder [Redux] with Prof. Sara Ronis).Brief Biography of the GuestDr. Leor Jacobi is a scholar of medieval Jewish art and visual culture affiliated with the Department of Jewish Art in the Faculty of Jewish Studies at Bar-Ilan University. He pursued early studies in cognitive science at the University of California, Berkeley before dedicating years to advanced Talmudic learning in Jerusalem and later returning to academia. He completed his MA and PhD at Bar-Ilan University, where his doctoral research explored the intersection of art and rabbinic literature in medieval culture. Jacobi has held prestigious fellowships, including a Humboldt Foundation postdoctoral fellowship at Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, and has served in various academic roles, including lecturer and research fellow, while contributing to major scholarly projects and journals in Jewish studies and art history, one of which is his "The Fifth Passover Cup and Magical Pairs: Isaac Baer Levinsohn and the Babylonian Talmud", European Journal of Jewish Studies, vol. 15 (2021): 84-103. Support the showThank you for listening!If you have any questions, suggestions, or more, feel free to reach out at Drew@JewishDrinking.coml'chaim!

Welcome back! Check out this Passover Seder Service by our Special Guest Teacher Ari Hauben of Chosen People Ministries.

Laura and John had similar backgrounds in that they both grew up in a Catholic family and were both attracted to Judaism after experiencing a Passover Seder. The couple met at a Greek and Hebrew Training Center and learned  more about the feasts of Israel. They were both involved in the worship team there and the relationship grew. After marrying, they were drawn to Messianic Judaism. John was a pastor for 20 years and although the couple started in California, they traveled to Idaho, where John hosted a radio show called “Proclaiming to Zion.” Recently, the Lord moved them to West Virginia while they wait for a documentary to be produced about their ministry and their thirty-six year marriage.

WOW!!!

At the Passover Seder, we are taught to respond differently to four types of children. Each one asks a different question, and each one needs a different kind of answer. But the Haggadah's response to the “wicked” child is deeply puzzling. Why does it sound so harsh? Why do we seem to insult a child who is simply asking questions? Many people feel uncomfortable when they reach this moment in the Seder. Drawing on the teachings of R. Tzaddok HaKohein, we explore a very different approach. The presence of this child at the table is itself a sign of hope. Questions and doubts are not enemies of faith — they are invitations to conversation. We also share a remarkable story from the first Jewish prayer service in Buchenwald, just days after the end of World War II, which reveals what it truly means to respond to doubt with sensitivity and compassion. In this series, Unlocking the Haggadah, we uncover the hidden structure of the Haggadah so that each paragraph leads logically to the next - transforming the Seder from a confusing collection of texts into a thoughtful and meaningful conversation.

Many people attending a Passover Seder feel puzzled or bored by the Haggadah. The text can seem long, confusing, and difficult to follow. In this series leading up to Passover, we will unlock the structure, meaning, and goal of the Haggadah so that each section begins to make sense and lead naturally to the next. The first key is surprising: the Haggadah is not simply a text to be read. It is a carefully designed educational experience meant to guide us step by step toward a profound goal. And like any great learning experience, it does not begin with answers. It begins with curiosity, wonder, and questions. By the end of this series, the entire Seder becomes a thoughtful conversation rather than a confusing collection of texts.

Passover (Pesach in Hebrew) is widely regarded as the oldest continually celebrated festival in human history. For millennia, Jewish families have gathered to remember the night God struck down the gods of Egypt and delivered His people. Across time and tradition, Pesach remains the one feast nearly all Jews observe, whether Orthodox or secular, Reform or traditional. Ithas endured because it is not just a tradition; it is a prophetic sign." Today on Crosswalk Colorado Springs, Jeff talks to Pastor Devin Knuckles of Vista Grande Baptist Church about his recently published Passover Seder guide, "Behold, the LambSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

All the utensils of the Mishkan (Sanctuary) are described together across the previous two Torah portions. Yet in this week's portion, Ki Tissa, one item appears by itself: the Kiyur, the basin where the priests washed their hands and feet before beginning the sacred service. The message is striking. Even the priests could not simply begin a holy act. They had to prepare themselves first. The same is true for our deepest Jewish experiences. If we arrive at a Passover Seder knowing nothing about it and having done no preparation, we may enjoy the evening - but it will not transform us. Jewish practice quietly insists that holiness begins before the moment itself, when we prepare to meet it. What would change if we prepared for our Jewish moments the way the priests prepared for theirs?

Welcome to Day 2798 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2798 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 113:1-9 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2798 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred ninety-eight of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Title of today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Hallel Begins – The High God Who Stoops Low Today, we cross a significant threshold in our journey through the Psalter. We are stepping into Psalm One Hundred Thirteen, covering the entire hymn, verses one through nine, in the New Living Translation. To understand the shift we are making today, we need to look back at the trail we have just hiked. For the last two days, we have been trekking through Psalm One Hundred Eleven and Psalm One Hundred Twelve. Those two psalms were a matched pair—twin "acrostic" poems that functioned like a classroom. They taught us the "A to Z" of God's character and the "A to Z" of the godly person's character. They were wisdom psalms, designed to be studied, pondered, and memorized in the quiet of the study hall. But today, the bell rings, and the class is dismissed. We are moving from the study hall to the Festival. Psalm One Hundred Thirteen marks the beginning of a special collection known as the "Egyptian Hallel" (Psalms One Hundred Thirteen through One Hundred Eighteen). These six psalms were, and still are, the liturgical soundtrack of the Passover Seder. They celebrate God's deliverance of Israel from Egypt. In Jewish tradition, Psalms One Hundred Thirteen and One Hundred Fourteen are sung before the Passover meal, and Psalms One Hundred Fifteen through One Hundred Eighteen are sung after the meal. This means that on the night Jesus was betrayed, just before He went to the Garden of Gethsemane, He likely sang these very words with His disciples. So, as we read this psalm, we are not just reading poetry; we are stepping into the Upper Room. We are hearing the song that fortified the Messiah for the cross. The theme of this psalm is a magnificent paradox. It presents Yahweh as the God who is Infinitely High—seated above the nations and the heavens—yet who insists on stooping Infinitely Low to lift the poor from the dust and the barren woman from her grief. It is the theology of the Great Descent. So, let us lift our voices with the choir of history and begin the Hallel. The first segment is: The Call to the Servants: A Praise Without Borders. Psalm One Hundred Thirteen: verses one through three. Praise the Lord! Yes, give praise, O servants of the Lord. Praise the name of the Lord!  Blessed be the name of the Lord now and forever.  Everywhere—from east to west— praise the name of the Lord. The psalm opens with the signature shout of the Hallel: "Hallelujah!" ("Praise the Lord!"). But notice...
