Mishloach Manot

Purim has passed, and you would think that after all of these years of this podcast, Darone would have run out of things to complain about when it comes to Purim, but if that’s what you think, you really don’t give Darone enough credit for finding what to Kvetch about.

Kids and Purim

As they say, ‘Tis the Season… for Darone to Kvetch about Purim. If you have been listening to this show for any amount of time, you know how Darone feels about Purim and Simchat Torah, but what does he still have to Kvetch about after this many episodes? Take a listen to find out.

Kiddush Club

The Kiddish Club is the group at many synagogues that leave right after the Haftara to drink a lachaim (shot of alcohol) or two in the synagogue lobby. What about this would make Daorne Kvetch? You will have to take a listen.

The Selfie

While this may not seem like a Jewish topic for a Kvetch, the image that prompted it was someone davening (praying)… Listen to Darone’s take on this scourage of society.

The Cold

All we can say this week is that when you think Darone is going to zig, you can be sure that he zags. Take a listen to this latest episode of “Kvetch.”

Al Capone

Yeah, you read the title correctly. For reasons unclear, Darone has chosen today, Christmas Day to Kvetch about Al Capone. You wouldn’t believe it if I told you why he chose this to Kvetch about, so please just take a few minutes to listen to his Kvetch, and let us know what you think. As […]

The White House Menorah

Nobody who actually knows Darone could possibly think that he is a fan of the current President, which is what makes it extra surprising that he is Kvetching about this aspect of Chanukah, and the White House, but Kvetch he is, and our job is to share it with you. As we are approaching the […]

Burial and Mourning

We know that as you have listened to Kvetch, you have begun to expect a certain something and that something is, well, a kvetch. Well, today, when you expect one thing, you get another. Maybe it is because Friday would have been his mother’s birthday, or maybe it’s because he went to a funeral on […]

Personal Space on Facebook

This weeks Kvetch comes from an experience that Darone had this week when he was accosted on Facebook Messenger by someone he doesn’t really know. This lead to Darone kvetching about the blur between the private and the public now that we all live our lives (for good and bad) publicly on Social Media.

Simchat Torah…

Isn’t Darone done “kvetching” about the High Holiday season? Not on your life… This time Darone returns to one of his go-to kvetches, in fact, you can hear him talk about it in this episode from March 2017, right after Purim. Hopefully, this will be Darone’s last kvetch about the holidays, but… who knows!

Leather Shoes on Yom Kippur

By the name of this episode, you probably already know what Darone has to complain about in today’s episode of Kvetch, but why not listen, maybe you will enjoy anyway.

Yom Kippur Coffee Issues

If you are one of the few non-Jewish listeners to this podcast, you will be completely confused (and possibly revolted) by this weeks episode. I am Jewish and I am not sure I want to ever hear Darone go off on this issue again.

Oct 02, 20174 min

March For Racial Justice

On September 30th, 2017 there will be a March for Racial Justice in Washington DC. September 30th is also Yom Kippur, and no surprise, the Jewish community is up in arms. What side of this issue do you think Darone will come out on this time? Take a listen to find out. Please consider making […]

Jewish Star

At his latest concert at Madison Square Garden, The piano man, Billy Joel wore a yellow star on his suit jacket as a statement of support for the Jewish community and against the rising Alt-Right/KKK/Nazi sentiments in our country. What on earth does Darone see a problem with about this? You will have to listen […]

Kashrut: Meat vs. Dairy

After recording his last episode of Kvetch, Darone was immediately ready to jump back in and record again, this episodes focus… Kashrut. But he doesn’t complain about cheese, or wine, or two sets of dishes, no… Darone wants to kvetch about why chicken and beef are meat, but fish is not. What do you think? […]

Tisha B’Av

If you know anything about Kvetch host Darone Ruskay, you can’t be too surprised that he would find something to kvetch about when it comes to Tisha B’Av, but we think you may be surprised to see what he has stuck in his craw about this, most solemn day in the Jewish calendar.

How You Wear Tefillin

OK, so after last episode, Darone got a bunch of people asking what was Jewish about his Kvetch…. So, this episode Darone focused on something very in the beltway. In fact, you might say that there kvetching about Tefillin is going a bit overboard, but then again, isn’t that what Kvetch is all about?

Jul 24, 20174 min

Sand

The Jewish content on this Kvetch is a little light, and the whole episode (if said in a different tone) could have been an episode of #AbbaCamp, but since Darone already wasted his kvetch about fireworks in May, this week he focuses on SAND. You know, the gritty stuff that gets stuck in your everywhere, […]

Jew By Choice

It is clear that Darone is just being pedantic, because he isn’t upset about people who have converted to Judaism, it is just about the words. Listen to how Darone gets himself out of this hole that he has dug for himself.

Jun 26, 20175 min

Gal Gadot

What on earth would Darone have to complain about with regards to the Jewish star of one of the largest Superhero movie of the year? Oh, if you have been listening to Kvetch for a while, I bet you can tell, but if not, take a listen to this episode and see what Darone has […]

Checking My Tzitsis

Darone has really got a bee in his bonnet this week (it should be noted that JCast Network has never before used the phrase “bee in a bonnet”, but this week it seems appropriate. When Darone was in primary school he had to prove that he was wearing tzitsis every morning during tefillah, and he […]

Holiday Fatigue

Darone complained about a July 4th item at the Start of May, and now he is ranting about Holiday Fatigue. What on earth could he be annoyed by now? Take a listen to this week’s Kvetch to find out what Darone means when he talks about his Holiday Fatigue. You will be amused.

Fireworks and Yom HaAtzmaut

Look, I don’t mean to kvetch, but can we take a moment to talk about fireworks. I know, everyone loves fireworks, well everyone but ME! Now, you may kvetch that I am talking about fireworks in May and not on July 4th, but I have my reasons. Listen to this week’s kvetch to better understand […]

Eight Days of Pesach

On the seventh day of Pesach, there really is only one thing that Darone could want to kvetch about today… the ridiculousness of their being eight days of Passover in some places and only seven in others. Someone better bring this man some bread.

Apr 17, 20173 min

Hamentashen

What, you thought that Darone was only going to spend one episode kvetching about Purim… Oh no, Darone has more to say, and this is, as always his favorite place to vent.

Apr 03, 20173 min

Purim

A week after the holiday, you had to know that Darone was going to have something to say about Purim. Listen to him kvetch in his own special way in this Holiday version of the podcast.

Saying It The Wrong Way

It took weeks for Trump to acknowledge that their have been anti-semitic outbursts since his election. But then he acknowledged it, but not enough, not the right way! Who are we to say what the right way is? How dare we complain when we get exactly what we ask for.

Rabbis and Their Fringes

Darone has a doozy this week! While the rest of the Jewish community are celebrating the response by so many in our community to what they believe goes against our faith, Darone sees it another way. No, he doesn’t think that Muslims should be banned, but he does have a lot of thoughts and feelings […]

Facebook Live

Darone kinda goes off on a tangent, not really focusing on a Jewish issue (although knowing Darone, he always figures out a way to bring it back, while he kvetches about Facebook Live! Yup, you heard it right, Darone found something to complain about in Facebook… who would have thought!

Feb 06, 20173 min

Undervaluing Myself

In this weeks Kvetch Darone is self-reflective and complaining, in the ways that only he can about the degree to which he does not value himself enough professionally. This one is a doozy!
