Video: How Jews Eat

Four Jews break it down.

	How to Buy a Lulav and Etrog World-renown etrog shopper Heshy Fried takes MJL along as he goes shopping for a lulav and etrog to celebrate the holiday of Sukkot.
	Kosher Fest 2009 Kosher food doesn't necessarily mean healthy food. However, it frequently means weirder food. We go behind the scenes of kosher packaged food in America.

THE ADVENTURES OF TODD & GOD

	Episode 1: How to Light the Hanukkah Menorah Todd discovers a magical friend (um, God) who teaches him how to light the Hanukkah candles.
	Episode 2: The Rosh Hashanah Blessing over New Fruit God shows up (as an orange) to teach Todd a Rosh Hashanah lesson: How to eat the new fruit.
	Episode 3: How to Hang a Mezuzah DJ God teaches Todd how to properly hang a mezuzah.
	Episode 4: How to Go Green (Bal Tashhit) Of course Al Gore is God and ready to teach Todd about the Jewish values of environmentalism.

HOW JEWS LIVE

	How Jews Look Beards. Wigs. Noses. Yarmulkes. Hair extensions. USY sweaters...we explore what Jews look like and what that means to us. Are we ashamed? Do we love it? Are big noses really sexy?
	How Jews Eat Kugels. Knishes. Bagels & lox & cream cheese. And falafel with extra harif...We check out why Jews love to eat, what food means to us, and what aspects of eating we're afraid of.
	How Jews Pray Singing. Davening. Swaying back and forth. Asking for a favor. Please, God -- let me get an "A" on this test...We explore what Jews talk (and think) about when we pray, what it means when we do, and whether anyone's on the receiving end.
	How Jews Mourn Judaism provides a script for mourning and grief. See how different Jews respond in this troubling time.

WHAT IS...

	What Is a Shofar? What is a shofar? What do its calls -- tekiah, shevarim, teruah -- mean? Why does it send a chill down our spines and a shiver in our hearts?
	What Is Jewish Music? From the tune of chanting the Torah to the instruments described in the Bible--to Bob Dylan and Joey Ramone--music has always been an integral part of Jewish life.
	What Is a Cantor? The prayer leader, also known as a hazzan, is the central figure who conducts Shabbat and holiday services in Jewish tradition.
	"Hineni," sung by Jeremiah Lockwood Hineni, from the Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services, is one of the most meaningful and humbling prayers that can be prayed by a human being.
