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.

Customer Reviews
Great listen!
I stumbled upon this podcast a couple years ago and was intrigued that Joshua Malina was on it. I am also a parasha geek and it was another way to keep up with the weekly Torah portion.
I wasn’t sure about this new format - answering listener questions. I have been won over. I love the Hanna Rosen/Rabbi Shira chemistry, I love all the sideline issues that come from each question, and I love that the episodes are 20ish minutes which is about how long it takes me to clean up my kitchen. I always learn something new and feel that each episode has been worth my time.
thats it

Love the new format
I know a lot of people probably started listening to the show because I’d Josh Molina and I loved that version too but I’m actually really enjoying the Q&A format and everything Hannah brings! And as always, Rabbi Shira brings so much wisdom, makes Judaism feel both accessible and also complex, and is always willing to learn as well as teach.
