This week on The Havdalah Happy Hour, we’re joined by the one and only Ben Suffel! We kick things off with a very special feature: 90 seconds of frozen video thanks to a technical glitch. (Don't worry — we recover faster than Jeremy and Jill will be eating pizza after Passover ends.)

Once we’re back in action, we recap Passover. Tune in to hear our hot takes on Passover-themed TV episodes, our favorite Passover desserts (macaroons? flourless cake?), and we end with our Shonda of the Week segment.

Pull up a chair, pour a glass of Elijah’s wine (or something stronger), and join us for another spirited episode on the Beth El Podcast Network.




At the heart of The Beth El Podcast Network is our flagship series, The Chai Life at Beth El Congregation. This particular podcast serves as a vibrant meeting point where ancient traditions and modern life sit down for a genuine conversation. Rather than offering lectures, it creates a space for thoughtful dialogue that examines how Jewish wisdom, values, and community intersect with the pressing questions and daily realities we all face. Each episode is crafted to feel like joining a discussion among curious friends, one that is both accessible and deeply substantive. You'll hear explorations that are as likely to touch on spirituality and text as they are on culture, ethics, and current events. The aim is to illuminate perspectives that resonate within the Jewish community while also providing insightful points of connection for anyone interested in a thoughtful, faith-based lens on the world. This network's cornerstone podcast consistently proves that topics grounded in religious tradition can be profoundly engaging and universally relevant, turning each audio session into an opportunity for both discovery and reflection. We invite you to find a moment in your week for these conversations that educate, challenge, and ultimately, enrich the listener's understanding.
