After a one-week hiatus, we’re back this week and turn this podcast on its head as Marissa steps into the hosting chair. We jump off into a review of summer in the office, the start of camp in the ELC, a quiet Shabbat on July 4, and a bevy of staffing changes. Marissa participates in drill shaming, Dan plots to get down to the Oasis concert at MetLife Stadium, Logan gets jazzed about the Book of Judges, and given this week’s Torah portion, we have to talk about talking donkeys and other mystical/magical animals in the Jewish tradition.

Also this week: using the phrase “Writ Large”, Red Snapper Night in Portland, the double meaning of the term “Food Desert” this summer, all-you-can-eat pancakes in the Berkshires, the Hoosac Tunnel, John Legg weighs in on the metric system, and we talk about coins again for a second.
