About this listen

Welcome to Yada Yada Yiddish, the podcast where Seinfeld meets Jewish wisdom in unexpected ways. 🎙️

Join me as I dive deep into classic Seinfeld episodes, uncovering timeless Torah insights. In each episode, I blend the humor and absurdity of Seinfeld with profound lessons from Jewish tradition. This podcast combines pop culture and spirituality, offering thought-provoking reflections on life, personal growth, and relationships.

In this week’s episode, we delve into “The Pen” from Season 3 of Seinfeld. Jerry’s acceptance of a gift—a simple pen—sparks hilarity and deeper questions about kindness and generosity. Join me as we explore the timeless Jewish perspective on giving. Is it better to give begrudgingly or not at all? What are the nuances of charity and the delicate balance of giving while preserving someone’s dignity? We’ll also dive into Rambam’s eight levels of giving and discover what it truly means to uplift others.
