In this episode of The JCast Journey, host Darone Ruskay continues to riff on his last episode about Alex, Inc. to discuss Living Biblically, the new show on CBS, that is based on the amazing book by A.J. Jacobs The Year Of Living Biblically. Darone reflects on why, like Alex, Inc. this show does not scratch the itch that the book did, and considers how the important things often do not measure up when they are recreated for the masses.

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.)
