- Religion & Spirituality
Chutzpod is a frank and wide-ranging conversation on how to build a good life, using real-life quandaries and millennia-old Jewish wisdom. Each week, Rabbi Shira Stutman and podcast host Hanna Rosin bring a Jewish lens to life's toughest questions, asked by our listeners: Do I offer forgiveness to a friend who refuses to apologize? Am I right to be annoyed at all the service dogs on the plane with me? How do we work to heal this broken world? It's a podcast for people of all or no faiths; Hebrew school truants and proud yeshiva graduates; those who want to be inspired but don't want to schlep to synagogue; basically, anyone trying to live a meaningful life during these trying times. One part advice column, one part reflection on what Judaism teaches on how to build a good life, using real-life stories and millennia-old wisdom.

The Torah on Money
Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Kiddushin 31b
Rav Asi had an elderly mother. She said to him: “I want jewelry.” He made jewelry for her. “I want a man,” and he said: I will seek one for you. “I want a husband who is as handsome as you.” He left her…and went to Israel.
