Karen first met Matthew when he invited her to be a guest speaker at the 2023 Jewish New Media Festival in Philly - she’ll be speaking on Sunday, May 21, along with KoshaDillz, the team behind Unorthodox the podcast, and more - and they instantly connected over their shared commitment to spreading Jewish pride and joy.

- Why Judaism is all about community
- How to overcome antisemitism with Jewish joy
- Why everyone should visit the Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History
- How Matthew’s quest for community drew him to Judaism
- What it was like for Matthew finding out about his Jewish heritage for the first time as an adult - and what inspired him to go all-in and convert to Judaism
