Description
Every shul has them. Every school depends on them. Every community would collapse without them. But nobody’s interviewing them. (Not) Your Average Jew pulls back the curtain on the unsung heroes of Jewish life . Hosted by Rabbi Elie Weissman and his cousin Andrew Weissman — the self-proclaimed Peppiest Jew in the Pew — this podcast asks the questions that get to the heart of what it really means to be Jewish today: where we came from, what we believe, what we’re passing on, and how we’re holding up. No famous names required. Just real Jews, real stories, and real conversation.

Join R' Elie Weissman, Andrew Weissman, and guest Lou Soroka as they delve into personal stories, spiritual reflections, and the significance of authentic connection within the Jewish community. This episode emphasizes the importance of talking openly about one's relationship with G-d, fostering meaningful inner experiences, and exploring the internal vs. external expressions of faith.
Most assume community size determines connection, but Courtney’s journey from small-town Houston to Teaneck tells a different story. She shares how intentional relationships—not numbers—shape belonging, faith, and purpose. From Texas to Israel to New York City to New Jersey, her experience shows that meaningful community can exist anywhere when rooted in genuine connection.
In this pilot episode, Andrew and R' Elie discuss the (not) average Jews they will be interviewing and how this podcast came to be. The duo discuss real responsibility, and Andrew shares a fascinating story about his encounter with a Bnei Brak Rebbe in Brooklyn.
