The Torah of the Real Housewives

Rabbi Jenna explores the world of *The Real Housewives* through a Jewish lens. Drawing on the franchise’s memorable conflicts, betrayals, gossip, and reconciliations, she considers what the Housewives reveal about human behavior and places iconic moments in conversation with Jewish texts and values.

The program examines where the Housewives offer unexpectedly meaningful lessons, where they fail spectacularly, and what Jewish tradition can teach about friendship, conflict, betrayal, gossip, and forgiveness. It follows Sixth & I’s book talk with Dorinda Medley, taking a deeper look at the drama surrounding the internationally popular reality-TV franchise and its many spinoffs.
