The show may be called Kvetch and Kvell, but we all know that Darone does more kvetching than kvelling, but this week he is trying to change that a bit. Today’s episode comes from a Facebook post he wrote at the end of the day on Thursday, June 6. How do you listen to Kvetch […]

Kvetch

Dayenu

So, did you see the joke about Anne Frank taking a selfie in a bikini. Did you follow the aftermath where the Harvard humor magazine the lampoon apologized for making the joke. Well, obviously this is a topic that Darone is going to want to kvetch about, but his kvetch may not be what you […]

Lampoon

This week Darone has quite a kvetch. When the Museum of Jewish Heritage decided they needed a new url for their latest exhibit, they had lots of urls that they could choose from. The one they chose, is just kvetch (or maybe even kringe)-worthy. What do you think? Does the url they chose make it […]

Auschwitz.NYC

This year Darone insisted that he wasn’t going to do a Pesach episode complaining about all of the things people complain about on Pesach (the Seder is too long, nobody enjoys matza, kashering the house is so exhausting, KP Cheese is yucky, why is everything so expensive…) but that didn’t mean he couldn’t find something […]

Pesach at The Ball Game

Darone likes Jewish music, well some Jewish music. Jewish parody music, you know when they take a regular pop song, and make it Jewish, or some of the songs by Adam Sandler, yuck. They all go to the lowest denominator and focus on stereotypes and, well, it is just something that Darone felt the need […]

Jewish Parody Music

With seven Purim Kvetches in the bag, what possible issue could Darone still have to Kvetch about with regards to Purim? Take a listen to find out just what he is so annoyed about this year! Want to listen to Darone’s past Purim Kvetches? Hamilton Parodies (2016) Hamentashen (2017) Simchat Torah (2017) Purim (2017) Purim […]

Purim 2019

When Darone said he wanted to do an episode on this one, everyone at JCast Headquarters were scratching our heads, but then when we heard what he had recorded, we all sort of agreed. Not sure if it is a kvetch, or a kvell, and not sure how Jewish it is, but it is a […]

Ticket Stubs

It must be in our DNA! Every parent needs to have the fight, as they were on the other side of the argument when they were children. Even when your children enjoy prayer, no one enjoys getting ready for shul… What in the world could frustrate him soo much? You will have to listen to […]

Getting Ready for Shul

In a rare Kvell, Darone talks about the enjoyment he gets when he hears his children singing the songs and prayers they learn at school to themselves in the shower. It is somehow the combination of their voices and realizing that it is these special songs that are on their lips, that just make Darone […]

Singing In The Shower

It’s MLK Day today, and the kids are off from school. Since the election of Barak Obama, MLK Day has in many places become a day of service, and wouldn’t it be nice to spend the day doing just that, sure? Is it possible… not so much, and that reality has really got Darone Kvetching […]

MLK Day of Service

Christmas is over I said, move on I said, wait until next year I screamed, but nope, Darone could not wait another year before he complained about one aspect of being Jewish on Christmas. What in the world could frustrate him soo much? You will have to listen to find out. How do you listen […]

A Special Christmas Kvetch…

On Christmas Eve Day, it is no surprise that Darone would want to kvetch about school vacations, but this time, perhaps he has a point…

School Vacations

In this episode of The JCast Journey, host Darone Ruskay returns for his semi-annual request for support. Have you been listening to JCast Network podcasts for days, weeks, months, years? Well as we say, podcasts are free to listen to, but not free to produce. Darone discusses some the cost of keeping the network afloat, and […]

2018 End Of Year Appeal

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!

Schol Prayer

I don’t know what you think, but Darone has some strong feelings about what you call your Rabbi. Take a listen and hear why! Let us know what you think by reaching out to us on Facebook at http://facebook.com/JCastNetwork. See you in two weeks.

First Name Rabbis

I don't mean to Kvetch, but some things really annoy me. I just can't ignore how annoying I find certain things, and this is my opportunity to vent, to get this stuff off my chest. Perhaps it will speak to you too.
