Who Wants ‘Nobody Wants This’?
The JCast Network Total Feed
10/15/24 • 55 min
In this episode, we dive into the thought-provoking Netflix series “Nobody Wants This,” exploring its funny and sometimes cringey take on identity, community, and the challenges of belonging. Joined by special guest Rabbi Talia Kaplan of Congregation Beth Shalom in Overland Park, Kansas (whose hot take on the show recently went viral), Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky discuss the show’s rich Jewish themes, including the search for love and meaning, the impact of communal expectations, and clergy ethics. Together, we’ll unravel why this series resonates deeply in our contemporary world and why you might just find yourself actually wanting whatever ‘This’ is!
Rabbis Michael Knopf and Jesse Olitzky are lifelong friends, pop culture fanboys, and lovers of all things Jewish. Join them every other week for a conversation about what’s going on in pop culture from a Jewish perspective and about Judaism through the lens of pop culture.

Nazir, Daf 8
The JCast Network Total Feed
01/31/23 • 13 min
Welcome to the Daily Daf Differently. In this episode, Joe Rosenstein looks at Masechet Nazir, Daf 8.
Yesterday’s daf focused on the implications of the person’s vow on the length of his or her n’zirut if the vow mentioned duration. Today’s daf focuses on the implications of the person’s vow if it specifies the n’zirut not in terms of time, but in terms of other measures. For example, what happens if a person vows to be a nazir like the sand at the sea or like the capacity of a basket? Does such a vow refer to the number of days of n’zirut or the number of terms of n’zirut? After completing the discussion of the text on today’s daf, we discuss briefly the question of what it would mean for us to consecrate ourselves to God in a way that the nazir apparently did in ancient times. This completes Chapter 1 of Tractate Nazir and so we close with an appropriate celebration.
