    Episode 6: Netilat Yadayim

    Special: What we love about Hannukah

    There are as many ways of enjoying Hannukah as there are Jews... and possibly more. In this Hannukah special, I asked my friends to share what they love about the holiday. I hope you all get to enjoy what you love most about it. Disclaimer: this episode was recorded before the events on Bondi Beach on the first night of Hannukah 5786. I did however want to acknowledge it, and I do so in the episode. May their memory be a blessing.

Der Rabbi und der Kommissar is a new book series about a rabbi who solves crimes. What are your favorite Jewish books?
