On to the show…
In honor of Valentine's Day, the edJEWcation crew tackles the big questions:
What does Judaism really say about love and marriage?
How do Jewish dating traditions actually work?
And can you have a successful partnership while maintaining independence?
The rabbi shares his own marriage story (spoiler: they got engaged after three weeks), explains why lust, romantic love, and companionate love are different. CL challenges the Hollywood myth that your spouse needs to fulfill every single role in your life, while Jay keeps everyone honest about balancing independence with intimacy.
From Talmudic wisdom on choosing partners to practical advice on avoiding an "office wife," this episode offers refreshing perspectives on Jewish relationships that are equal parts traditional insight and modern realism. Whether you're single, dating, or have been married for decades, this conversation will make you rethink what love really means, and no, it's not just butterflies and Valentine's candy.


“Tell your friends to like us and love us and care for us” is gold.
