The Beth El Podcast Network Havdalah Happy Hour. (December 20, 2025)
This week on Havdalah Happy Hour, Ben Kreshtool, Jill Suffel, and Emily Ellentuck are joined by special guest Sami Halle for a sweet and spirited conversation.
The spotlight is on sufganyot as the group samples and rates an incredible spread—four bakeries, two dozen donuts, and plenty of opinions to go around. Listeners are invited to join the fun by sharing their favorite donut flavors or go‑to bakeries in the comments.
The episode also explores the tradition of eating dairy on Hanukkah, sparking a thoughtful discussion about holiday customs. And when it comes to latkes, are you team zucchini or firmly against? The hosts debate with humor and heart before closing, as always, with a blessing and the beloved Shonda of the Week.
