Nisht For Me Episode 14 - Chanukah Special: 8 Nisht For Me's of the Year
The chanukah cardigans are out which only means one thing…it’s NFM’s Chanukah special!!! Some disclaimers about this episode:Yes we know it’s out on technically the last day of Chanukah but, you know, indulge us. It is possibly our most x-rated recording to date, with both language and content that makes @abigailradnor wonder what Grandma Clair would make of it but then she is the grandma who discovered porn on Arron’s computer when he was teenager and made zero fuss so Abigail’s probably not giving her enough credit. ...

Nisht For Me Episode 5 - Shiva House Rules
In much of this episode we have explained a lot of the terms and traditions in the show itself ( it’s almost like we’ve got better at this!) But here a few bits that may need a little explanation:Kuchen - German and Yiddish for cake. Grandma Shirely baked a cinnamon version and a one with raisins that had to be served with a shmear of butter, both were equally legendary.Alte kaker - an elderly person, they wouldn't take this description as a compliment

Nisht For Me Episode 2 - The Cray Cray World of Kosher
As this episode is all about ‘kashrut’, the act of ‘keeping kosher’, let’s clear up what that actually means. Time to hand over to Little Miss Leviticus himself, Arron Ferster, to chat us through the rules:Okay, so, the laws of kashrut as laid out in the Torah are the dietary laws that Jews are instructed to live by. Jews of all different shapes and sizes implement these laws differently but the headliners are as follows:1. Only animals that have both split hooves and chew the cud are edible as kosher - this is where all...
