B”H Guys I must live under a rock because just yesterday I found out about the webseries Soon By You. I haven’t watched TV in ages, probably since the good old days of Seinfeld and Friends, so finding Soon By You, a clean, and refreshingly funny series about Orthodox Jews dating in New York, was a super happy accident.

Nothing New Under the Sun

by Leave a Comment

B”H The wise King Solomon said “There’s nothing new under the sun,” a phrase I was very familiar with growing up thanks to my dear mother.

  B”H Insert me singing Andres Calamaro’s “Hace Calor” as an intro to this post… get it?  “Hace calor, hace calor, estaba esperando…” Sorry for the 90’s music digression but if you know what I’m talking about, you’re happily singing now. I know it! Otherwise, here we go…. It’s a whooping 99 degrees in Houston, TX and only getting hotter, my friends… ¿Quien se acuerda de la canción de Andrés

    I loved being part of your podcast, I had no idea what to expect and it was refreshing as a Jewish woman to participate in your podcast. Your questions related to what I do, combined with Judaism gave me a lot to think about. I love getting new questions instead of the typical “why did you start the project?” which is important but I’m glad you gave it a twist. I hope your listeners enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed being part of it! Thanks for challenging me to think about my topic and religion as one.
