Episode 460: Rabbi Joseph Edelheit - Weep With Those Who Weep
On this episode of Crackers and Grape Juice, <a href="https://substack.com/@teerhardy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Teer</a> and <a href="https://substack.com/@jasonmicheli" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jason</a> sit down with <a href="https://substack.com/@josephaedelheit" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rabbi Joseph</a> for an honest and deeply personal conversation about what it means to be Jewish in a time of global conflict. As headlines from Gaza continue to grieve and divide, Rabbi Joseph offers a perspective shaped by history, faith, and heartbreak—speaking candidly about the loneliness many Jews feel, the complexity of the moment, and the challenge of holding grief for all who suffer.<br /><br />This is not an easy conversation. But it’s a necessary one. Together, we ask: What does it mean to tell the truth without resorting to partisanship? What does it look like to love our neighbors when the world tempts us toward sides? And how can Christians and Jews move toward one another in a time when it feels easier to retreat?<br /><br />If you're looking for a place to start—not to solve, but to understand—this conversation is a step in that direction.<br /><br />Find <a href="https://crackersandgrapejuice.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Crackers and Grape Juice</a> on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/crackersandgrapejuice/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crackersnjuice" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Facebook</a>, and <a href="https://crackersnjuice.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Substack</a>.

Episode 459: Walter Bruggemann
In this special episode honoring the life and witness of Walter Brueggemann, we revisit a conversation that captures his prophetic brilliance and pastoral heart. Jason, Teer, and Taylor sit down with the legendary Old Testament theologian (whose books can be found on just about every pastor’s shelf) to talk about what it means to be a community of resistance, the radical challenge of sabbath, and his favorite word for describing the biblical encounter between David and Bathsheba. Brueggemann’s voice was bold, unsettling, and always grounded in the hope of God’s coming kingdom. We’re grateful to share this conversation again, as a tribute to a theologian who taught us to speak truthfully and live faithfully.<br /><br />Find <a href="https://crackersandgrapejuice.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Crackers and Grape Juice</a> on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/crackersandgrapejuice/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crackersnjuice" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Facebook</a>, and <a href="https://crackersnjuice.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Substack</a>.
