Havdalah Happy Hour (February 14, 2026)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Pack your virtual bags, because this week Ben Kreshtool, Jill Suffel, and Cantor Emily Ellentuck are taking us on a full‑on travel adventure. We dive into Israel trips—from the magic of stepping onto Israeli soil for the very first time to the emotions, memories, and meaning that come with it.
Naturally, the conversation drifts into the essentials: where you must eat when you travel, the universal chaos of airport shenanigans, and the joys (or nightmares) of navigating travel papers. And because it wouldn’t be Havdalah Happy Hour without it, the ever‑present duo of weather and traffic makes its weekly cameo.
As always, we wrap things up with a heartfelt blessing of the week and a perfectly on‑brand shonda of the week.
✨ Tune in and enjoy the journey.
