    The Summer of 1997...Where It All Began

    In the very first episode of Just Jew & Me, Dana and Adam kick things off with plenty of excitement (and maybe a little nervous energy). They dive into why they decided to start a Jewish-themed podcast, sharing personal stories about identity, community, and what it really means to be Jewish today. From celebrating the best parts of Jewish life to tackling the tough stuff—like the rise in anti-Semitism—they keep it honest, heartfelt, and, of course, full of laughs. Whether you're Jewish or just Jew-curious, they’re here to create a fun, welcoming space to learn, reflect, and schmooze.
