Listener’s beware, this episode of the show is virtually guaranteed to leave you super hungry. NJ native and former screenwriter Joel Haber made aliya to Israel in 2009. Looking to leave his former profession behind in the Old Country, Joe did what anyone would do and became a licensed tour guide and soon found himself escorting travelers from all over the world discover and uncover the wonder and beauty that is the Land and People of Israel. Joel also grew up in a modern orthodox home with a mother who was a great home cook, and a cosmopolitan one, and through her kitchen ate many traditional foods of his Ashkenazi Jewish background as well as dishes from other segments of Jewish culture. Developing a diverse palate, Joel’s taste buds found their perfect habitat when he got to Israel and he quickly was able to enjoy the super diverse variety that is today’s modern Israeli culinary scene (think everything from picked herring and kugel to malawach, khachapuri, kuba & gondi). Combining his passion for tours with his love of food, Joel is renowned for his incredible, one of a kind tasting tours of Jerusalem’s iconic Machane Yehuda market and giving lectures on what our classic Jewish dishes say about our culture. He is the author of the popular Jewish food blog, “The Taste of Jewish Culture” and author of the book “Chulnt: How an Unassuming Sabbath Stew Traveled the World, Changed its Look, and Came to Embody the Jewish Experience.”

Welcome to Jewanced

Jewanced is hosted by Dan Feferman and Benny Scholder, two guys who grew up in America and live in Israel.

They're curious. They want to discuss. They want to challenge popular conceptions, they want to think critically, examine independently, and most of all, they crave nuance.

Each episode features a different guest. All interesting and original people who strive to break boundaries. Together with Dan and Benny, take a deep dive into politics, foreign affairs, religion, science, technology, food, the arts, business – you name it. Explore the nuanced crossroads of Israel, the global Jewish experience, and beyond.

What's the goal? To create a daring platform where people share their stories, insights, creations, and visions. Jewanced has no talking points, no script, no agenda...just a deeper nuanced understanding of our existence.
