O.M.f.G, what a wonderful four letter word. Those four letters can say so much in so little time, whether expressing joy or grief, excitement or disappointment, delight and sorrow, impatience or urgency - truly the breadth of human experience. As rabbis, we know that when the stories of our lives meet the stories of Jewish tradition, transformation/growth/something awesome occurs.

Season 4: Episode 4, the kids are allright
In this special episode of OMfG, the rabbis JG are thrilled to welcome to very special guest hosts, Aliza and Mia, two of the Berkshires' finest recent high school grads. Aliza and Mia share their experiences as Jewish American teens, reflecting on the challenges of their unique high school experiences , their evolving Jewish journeys, and the impact of October 7. Join us as we talk, laugh, and think out loud with Aliza and Mia as they answer questions ranging from "what do you wish adults understood about being Jewish teenagers today?" to "why do sloppy joes exist?" -
Here we are, stuck in the middle with you.
OMfG Season 4, Ep: 3 Here we are, stuck in the middle with you.
It's been more than 100 days since the horrific events of October 7, and the rabbis JG are checking in. In this terribly challenging moment, it feels like we are in the middle of a story that we wish we knew had a happy ending. This week, we're talking comfort food, comfort tv (clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose) and Jewish wisdom for making our way through tough times. -
The Israel Episode
OMfG Season 4 Episode 2: The Israel Episode
Since the terrifying events of October 7, we've been struggling to find the words for this moment. After nearly seven weeks of watching so much pain and horror unfold, the rabbis JG got together for a long talk about what makes this moment so singularly difficult. From fragmentation to unity, or from doubt to conviction, we hope you'll join for this unique episode as we reflect on the war in Israel. -
Elul: Warming Up for 5784 with Rabbi Taylor Swift
Omfg it's almost 5784! The Hebrew month of Elul has arrived and the rabbis JG are getting ready! But we could never get ready alone- we get by with a little help from our friends. And so, with gratitude to Rabbi Rachael Pass and Jodie's URJ Eisner Camp tzofim and Olim limud groups, we present to you a little Elul Torah of Swift. From collective effervescence to dealing with regrets, we hope you'll join us as we make our way through the end of summer into a sweet new year ahead.

OMFG: We’re at a Christian Retreat Center!
OMFG: We’re at a Christian Retreat Center!
Live from Middleburg, Virginia (well, live when we recorded it…) the rabbis JG are back together again, and reflecting on themes of rest, renewal and retreat. With gratitude to our friends and teachers, join us for a different kind of episode as we think out loud about where we’ve been, and where we’re going. Happy summer to you! -
On Preparing to Leave Egypt
OMfG! It's almost Passover!
The rabbis JG are getting ready for Passover and hope you'll give a listen as we tackle important questions like "what spiritual chametz are you hoping to rid yourself of this year" and "how long is too long to keep matzah meal"? We're bringing in the wisdom of our rabbis as we get ready for the festival of freedom, so sit back, grab some matzah and a seltzer, and enjoy! And if you're not feeling quite ready for the festival days ahead, don't worry, we got you: there's no way everyone was ready to leave Egypt at the same time.
