Elul: The one with our spouses (and a live audience!)

Saison 1 · Épisode 13

mercredi 4 septembre 2024 • Durée 01:29:22

This is it, folks: the last episode in our first season! And it’s a pretty special one. The tables have turned, and our spouses, Ariane Barrie-Stern and Joseph Eskin, are interviewing US, in a conversation we had live at Ohavay Zion Synagogue in Lexington. We laughed, we almost cried, and Joseph broke some very big personal news… about Ben and Ariane. We can’t wait for you to hear it. But first we’ll talk about the month of Elul. Before we get caught up in the High Holidays, Elul reminds us to be strong and courageous, and ready ourselves to turn towards G-d. We’ll cover it all as we say goodbye to season one and turn towards season two!

Tevet: A delicious dialogue about food and resilience

mercredi 13 décembre 2023 • Durée 01:14:07

This month, we’re breaking down kashrut, or kosher — the dietary laws governing what Jewish people do and don’t eat. They cover both the food itself, how it can be combined, and how meat should be prepared (animals must be slaughtered a certain way to minimize their pain). And we’ll kibitz with Top Chef Sara Bradley, who’s running a restaurant and raising a family in Paducah, KY, where the Jewish community is much smaller there than it used to be. We’ll learn what changed, and also how to make the perfect brisket. Grab a snack before pushing play; this episode will make you hungry!

Kislev: Hanukkah, Teddy Abrams and music, oh my!

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mardi 14 novembre 2023 • Durée 01:07:19

It’s Kislev! That means time for Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights. We’ll tell you the story, and the history of why the story itself is told the way it is. And we kibitz with Louisville Orchestra Music Director Teddy Abrams about Jewish composers’ place in the American music tradition. Teddy tries to trick us into some free therapy [disclaimer: we are rabbis, not therapists!] and we commiserate over his hit Christmas single that never was. “I think seven people have heard it,” he says. Listen to our Kislev episode and join their numbers!

Cheshvan: The value of rest and reconnection

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

dimanche 15 octobre 2023 • Durée 01:19:25

On today’s episode we’ll kibitz with University of Kentucky President Dr. Eli Capiluto. Capiluto shares his experiences of growing up as a Sephardic Jew in Montgomery, Alabama, during the Civil Rights Era. Sephardic Jews are Jews who were expelled from Spain after 1492, and that identity can make them feel out of place, even among other Jews. And this month in Judaism, it’s Cheshvan — also known as the rabbi’s favorite month, because there are NO HOLIDAYS! So we’ll talk about shabbat, that one beautiful day of the week where we rest, reconnect, and reset for the week to come.

Tishrei: The one with all the holidays (and two mayors)

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

vendredi 8 septembre 2023 • Durée 01:17:13

Shalom, y’all, and welcome to the first episode of The Bluegrass Schmooze! This one’s a doozy, because we decided to launch a new podcast during Tishrei, or the Jewish Holiday Super Bowl. Deep dive with us into all the events happening This Month in Judaism… from the first lit candle of Erev Rosh Hashanah, all the way through until that long Torah scroll is unfurled on Simchat Torah. (For our non-Jewish listeners, this segment will also explain why your Jewish friends are so hard to book happy hour with this time of year.) Then we’ll welcome special guests Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg and “mayor for life” Jerry Abramson, who reflect on how their Judaism influences their leadership, and share their hopes for the city in the new year. ---------- "The Bluegrass Schmooze" gets support from the Jewish Heritage Fund, the Eye Care Institute's Butchertown Clinical Trials and the members of Louisville Public Media.

The Bluegrass Schmooze Trailer

mardi 22 août 2023 • Durée 02:19

When Shani Abramowitz and Ben Freed took their first jobs as rabbis in Lexington and Louisville, they got one question from their classmates and friends: There are Jews in Kentucky? The short answer is yes! The long answer is right here, in your podcast feed. Every month, you'll hear a deep dive into upcoming holidays and their meanings, catch up on current events that impact the Jewish community, and kibbitz with a Jewish Kentuckian who has a great story. And each episode wraps up with a L'Chaim of the Month — a toast to a person or group making our world a better place (bourbon in a kosher dill jar optional... but strongly encouraged). Zei gezunt, y'all!

Tamuz: Women repairing the world

lundi 8 juillet 2024 • Durée 01:37:40

Tikkun olam. It's a Hebrew phrase that means "repairing the world." And our guests on this episode say it's the principle that compelled them to sue the Commonwealth of Kentucky over its near-total abortion ban. We'll talk about that lawsuit, and how the law affects people trying to become parents through IVF. And we'll learn about the month of Tamuz, a rather sleepy month that hits just when the summer heat has us feeling ready for a nap.

Sivan: The many roads to revelation

vendredi 7 juin 2024 • Durée 01:20:21

We’ve been counting up to it for seven weeks, and it’s finally here: Shavuot, in the month of Sivan! On Shavuot, we celebrate receiving the Torah on Mount Sinai after a long journey through the desert. We’ll learn all about it this episode. And we’ll meet some Kentuckians who had revelations of their own. Hal Forbess and Ken Shuck are both Jews by choice, and they share their journeys with us, and with you.

Bonus: How Ira Glass learned to tell stories from Broadway and the bimah

jeudi 23 mai 2024 • Durée 17:51

When Ira Glass created "This American Life" in 1995, he wanted to expand on traditional news reporting and tell stories in new ways. Same thing in 2014, when he and members of his production team brought "Serial" to life and changed the podcasting world. But while he's known for innovation, he traces his own storytelling roots to older influences he experienced growing up in a Jewish community in the 1960s and '70s. Ira joined us for a conversation ahead of his appearance in Louisville on June 1. Find show details at LPM.org/ira
