Schol Prayer

No, Darone isn’t about to kvetch about prayer in public schools, he has something to say about going to school to participate in family davening at his children’s Day School. While his instincts are to kvetch about it, at his heart all he can do is kvell! https://media.blubrry.com/jcasttotalfeed/jcastnetwork.org/storage/kvetch/schooltefilah.mp3Podcast: Download

It’s A Small World

Before we start, let me be clear, Darone could easily do a Kvell about the amazing experience of taking his children to Orlando for a Disney vacation. It was an experience that he will never forget, but if you have been listening to Kvetch for the last 60+ episodes you know that Darone can always […]

Phylacteries

Darone loves the word phylacteries, but doesn’t wear them often. For those who don’t know, phylacteries is another word for tefillin. But wear them or not, what in the world would he have to kvetch about them? Take a listen to find out. Also, if you could, please consider making a donation to JCast Network […]

Columbus Day

Darone sure is frustrated this week. Why? Because of Columbus Day! Not because it should (or shouldn’t) be called Indigenous Peoples Day! Why then is Darone so spastic? Listen to today’s episode and you will understand why it is such a problem (or at least why he think it is). https://media.blubrry.com/jcasttotalfeed/jcastnetwork.org/storage/kvetch/columbus.mp3Podcast: Download

Services…

In the days after the High Holidays, you can’t be too surprised that Darone would want to Kvetch about the length of religious services, but in an unusual swerve, Darone actually has more of a Kontemplate (you know the K is just to stay in the Kvetch and Kvell model) on the length of religious […]

Hummus

Regardless of whether you spell it Hummus or Chumus or Chummus, there is no question that Hummus has taken over!

Darone Ruskay
Darone has spent the past fifteen years working in the Jewish Education field, providing top-quality Jewish education to the North American community. he served as the Conference Coordinator for The Coalition for the Advancement of Jewish Education (CAJE) for many years. Since then he has worked at United Jewish Communities (UJC), as their Director of Young Leadership Cabinet Membership, at The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS), in the Department of Institutional Advancement, and most recently as the Managing Director of The Skirball Center for Adult Jewish Learning at Temple Emanu-El. He brings his passion for Jewish Life and Education, as well as his personal interest and passion for media and technology to this new venture, and is perfectly suited to lead the JCast Network (which he might just have to call JCN as he is so used to working at institutions that use their initials.)
