What’s it really like to be a Jewish student on campus today? In this episode, the rabbis are joined by Zac Bates Fisher, Student Engagement Officer for Progressive Judaism, to hear four candid stories from students with very different experiences of Jewish life at university.

In a moment when Jewish identity can feel heightened, tense or misunderstood, these stories are about choice — choosing to step into Jewish life, to build community and to find connection. From sport and Shabbat dinners to interfaith iftars and growing inclusivity across shared Progressive and Orthodox spaces, students show that even in complex times, Jewish campus life can be intentional, resilient and full of possibility.

The rabbis are back for a fifth season of Rabbiting On, kicking off with the rabbis sharing some jaw-dropping tales of what people think is perfectly acceptable to say about how they look; a nod to Judaism’s own long tradition of saying exactly what it thinks. From sacred texts that freely comment on appearance to the eternal Jewish obsession with festivals and food, this episode has opinions, laughs and plenty to chew over.
