    Is it aging or just bad posture?

    We're kvetching about aches, pain and the real struggle of getting older (or just surviving a kid's soccer game.) Dr. Shimi Blau joins us for a hilarious and heartfelt episode on chronic pain, medical empathy, and how to redirect a long-winded kvetch - doctor style.

    Let's Kvetch Episode 7: A Kvetch of Biblical Proportions
    Aug 1 2025

    This week, Howard shares a tech support nightmare of 'biblical proportions' after attempting to upgrade his home internet. From a no-show bucket truck to a technician who didn't want to do his job, Howard's kvetch takes us on a frustrating journey. But the story's happy ending leads Rabbi Leban to connect the experience to the deeper meaning of Tisha B'Av, and the power of responsible kvetching to fix what's wrong—in our homes and in the world.
