    Ep. 26: Was the Superbowl Antisemitism Ad Misguided?

    What if everything you’ve been told about fighting antisemitism isn’t just ineffective—but could actually fuel the problem? Rabbis Rabbi Jonathan Jaffe and Rabbi Leora Londy dive headfirst into the controversy sparked by a $15 million Super Bowl ad, dissecting whether public campaigns against antisemitism truly help—or just reinforce Jewish vulnerability. They unpack the critiques swirling around the ad’s messaging, and explore Bret Stephens’ provocative call for Jews to “stop fighting hatred” and instead invest in Jewish life and identity. Is Jewish resilience found in building bridges and institutions or simply by “leaning in” to authentic Jewish practice? The episode tackles the tension between withdrawal from public advocacy versus the risks of becoming insular, and asks whether Jewish identity should hinge on opposition to antisemitism or on positive, lived experiences. Listen as Rabbi Jonathan Jaffe and Rabbi Leora Londy share personal stories about raising children safely in America, discuss the ebb and flow of Jewish history—from Mount Sinai Hospital to Brandeis University—and debate the complexities of intermarriage and inclusion in today’s Jewish community. As they reflect on powerful moments with their teens, the hosts leave us with a message of hope: Maybe the most sacred work is neither fighting nor fleeing, but deepening relationships and living Jewish authenticity.

    Ep. 25: How Does Music Connect You to Prayer?

    What if the most transformative moments in Jewish prayer aren’t found in the words—but in the music you didn’t even know was shaping your spirit? In this revelatory episode of “In Such a Time,” Rabbis Jonathan Jaffe and Leora Londy pull back the curtain on their very different—but unexpectedly harmonious—musical journeys into the rabbinate. Whether you think you’re “not a music person,” grew up bored by synagogue choirs, or can’t imagine prayer without melody, this conversation exposes how the sounds and silence of Jewish life have quietly been shaping us all along. You’ll hear Rabbi Jonathan Jaffe reveal his musical roots in Hawaiian slack key guitar and rock bands, and why his childhood counted synagogue music as little more than “filler”—before a single encounter in San Francisco flipped everything he believed. Rabbi Leora Londy shares the hidden power of growing up with a cantor-mother, geeking out on the “sounds of the season,” and the shock of standing in an unfamiliar synagogue in Florence where her musical “Jewish GPS” stopped working. Highlights from this episode include: The hilarious and humbling stories (“I only learned bassoon for the grade!”) behind each rabbi’s path to spiritual songleadingUnpacking why Jewish prayer can feel stale or electrifying—and why feeling lost in the music might actually be a sacred momentThe tug-of-war between tradition and innovation: Should services be a familiar playlist or a boundary-pushing “concert”—and what happens when congregants push back?Powerful vignettes from transformative musical moments: women’s nigun circles, rain-soaked prayer gatherings, and kids who learn Shabbat tunes before they know what they mean.An invitation to listeners to reflect: What music moves you? And how alive could Jewish community feel if you let yourself sing (or dance!) along?Whether you’re a foot-tambourine-wielding Shabbat rocker or a reluctant participant on the back row, this episode will make you rethink the soundtrack of your Jewish soul.

    Ep. 24: What Does Judaism Have To Say About Protesting?

    What happens when the sacred act of protest collides with violence—and what does Judaism truly say about standing up, dissent, and crossing the line? This week’s episode of “In Such A Time” dives explosively into the turbulent debates around recent ICE protests in Minnesota, exploring not just policy and politics but the very essence of Jewish ethical responsibility in moments of national crisis. Rabbi Leora Londy and Rabbi Jonathan Jaffe take listeners on a passionate journey through the layered complexities of protest: When does protest become hooliganism? Is it ever justified to block law enforcement if you believe the law itself is unjust? As scenes of violence and heartbreak unfold on American streets, the rabbis wrestle openly with agreement, disagreement, and the dilemma of witnessing human suffering versus respecting the law. They challenge listeners to move beyond empty platitudes, question the purpose and consequences of collective action, and to reflect deeply on the micro- and macro-level effects protest has on society. Key highlights include: Personal and Jewish historical reflections on the necessity—and limits—of protest, including the example of Abraham’s challenge to God.The emotional and ethical impact of ICE enforcement and the way immigration sweeps have affected families and community.The danger of protest culture drifting into the performative or the cult-like, and the need for informed, purposeful activism.A raw debate about human rights, law enforcement, and the responsibilities of governments and citizens.Parallels between American protests and those in Israel, especially around policy, collective behavior, and heartbreaking losses from violence.A poignant closing as both rabbis grapple with their anxieties for democracy and offer prayers for peace, human dignity, and thoughtful civic engagement.Timestamped Episode Overview: 00:00: Welcome and introduction to the topic of protest and ICE.01:21: Initial reflections on the health of protest in democracy and Jewish perspectives.03:27: Differentiating types of protest: nonviolent, hooliganism, blocking law enforcement.07:53: Wrestling with moral responsibilities when faced with injustice.12:03: The human side of immigration, due process, and compassion.18:25: Emotional distress, policy vs. humanity, how enforcement impacts families.23:29: Lively debate over political platitudes versus concrete policy solutions.31:37: Parallels with Israeli protests and tragic consequences of collective action.40:49: The psychology of protest movements, cult-like behaviors, and collective action.44:21: Personal responsibility, informed activism, and impacts of protest in society.49:56: Inspiring moments of global protest, hope, and calls for humane policy and peace.This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the meaning of protest, the future of democracy, and the demands of conscience—revealing just how fraught and vital these conversations are in such a time.

    Ep. 23: Should We Keep Kosher?

    What do kosher hot dogs, mummified chickens, and a mall food court have in common? In this surprisingly candid and humorous episode of "In Such a Time: Conversations on Jewish Life, Leadership and Meaning," hosts Rabbi Leora Londy and Rabbi Jonathan Jaffe dig deep into the intricacies—and idiosyncrasies—of kashrut, the Jewish dietary laws. From Kalua pig at Hawaiian bat mitzvahs to high-priced Passover pizzas at the American Dream Mall, they explore how keeping kosher shapes identity, creates community, and offers spiritual meaning, even amidst the chaos of modern life. Along the way, you'll hear about their personal journeys: why Rabbi Jonathan Jaffe draws the moral line at mammals, how Rabbi Leora Londy navigates diner omelets and chicken nuggets for her kids, and why the "cold dairy" salad might be the most Jewish lunch order of all. Their thoughtful conversation reveals why the rules of kashrut go far beyond food—they’re about humility, boundary, mindfulness, and authentic connection, whether you're buying groceries in Spring Valley, arguing for kosher kitchen standards at synagogue, or pondering why a Tel Aviv restaurant offers shrimp… on matzah.

Get ready for stories you won’t believe: from the wild logistics of booking B’Nai Mitzvahs years in advance (complete with Google Docs and “party wars”) to why brisket is king in New York while lox and bagels reign supreme in San Francisco—even at shivas. You’ll hear about the reality of serving a congregation that churns by 10-15% each year, the entrepreneurial spirit that makes San Francisco’s Jewish scene an incubator for innovation (and failure!), and the culture shock Rabbi Jonathan Jaffe faced moving to the New York suburbs—where parking and family networks rule the day.
