The Podcast for Nerdy Jews Episode 81 - 3rd Anniversary Special - Dungeons & Dreidels A year has passed since the goblins were driven from the village and the light of Hanukkah was saved by the hero called Hershel… or so everyone thought. Now, on the final night of the town’s Hanukkah celebration, the wind howls and dark clouds gather above. Join the village’s unlikely heroes—a blacksmith, a tailor, a butcher, and a teacher—as they defend their home, unravel a mysterious return, and stand together to protect the light.

April 9, 2025 Torah Smash! The Podcast for Nerdy Jews Episode 78 - New Games, Old Wisdom In this episode, we dice into the world of reboots, remastering, and retelling, both in the sacred and the pixelated. Ethan begins by sharing his love for the remastered version of one of his favorite games, Star Wars: Dark Forces, and what changed in its recent rerelease. We discuss movie reboots, and why it’s sometimes okay for things to change.

March 12, 2025 Torah Smash! The Podcast for Nerdy Jews Episode 76 - Separating the Nerdy from the Mundane After last episode’s connection to Shabbat, there was only one logical topic for the next conversation: havdalah! We learn about the ritual objects of havdalah and the meaning behind this short, weekly celebration. We discuss when we keep our nerdy parts of our lives separate, we find some sweetness in nerd culture, and we also talk about the bad body odor of gamers, for some reason. Once we’ve gotten to that point, how can we separate ourselves from that space? 00:00:41 Torah Smash Live! 00:01:32 Part II: Havdalah (Separation) 00:08:46 What are the nerdy things we do that we want to keep separate? 00:13:56 What are the spaces you wish were ceremoniously separated? 00:17:17 Sacred symbols of separation that bring us joy 00:21:51 Taking in the sweetness of nerd culture 00:28:13 Symbols of light in nerd culture 00:32:45 Ritual moments Share this episode with a friend: https://www.torahsmash.com/post/episode-76-separating-the-nerdy-from-the-mundane Connect with us online, purchase swag, support us with a donation, and more at www.torahsmash.com .…
February 26, 2025 Torah Smash! The Podcast for Nerdy Jews Episode 75 - Shabbat: There’s A Nap For That Shabbat is a way for us to reflect on the week and reset ourselves. We power ourselves down and find ways of interacting with our loved ones and our community in ways that can really nourish our soul. So, this is a reminder to download that special app on your smartphone that will help you appreciate and recognize shabbat. And, while you’re at it, don’t forget to organize your apps and delete the ones that just fill up the space without any significance. After that, go take a nice shabbat schluff. 00:00:37 Torah Smash!
