A gleaner’s garland, abraxas bop. Eulogy for the hyacinth rainbow. Throttlebottom doo-dah at the flicker-flame's trial. Cattywampus yawp, ninnyhammer’s neigh. Elegiac dirge of the Anthropocene’s twilight, echoing through Shadow Gulch. Canceled event horizon. Extinction boogaloo, debacle bacchanal, hot mess hecatomb.

Listen along as Rabbi Menashe Uhr explores the topic of Mitzvos with two special guests - Shlomi and Mellissa. The 3 come very very different Jewish backgrounds, and each bring their own perspectives (and questions!) to the table.
