This week on Unorthodox, we’re shaking the lulav and the etrog and celebrating Sukkot.

First, we’re learning all about the global history of the etrog thanks to Be Fruitful: The Etrog in Jewish Art, Culture, and History. We talk to Warren Klein, one of the collection’s editors, and Jenna Weissman Joselit, a favorite Unorthodox guest and contributor to the collection.


Next, we talk with Roger Studley, the founder of Urban Moshav, a nonprofit dedicated to creating Jewish co-housing communities, about Berkeley Moshav and the role that co-housing plays in building community.

Finally, we’re resharing the 2018 trip our former editor Sophia Steinert-Evoy took to the only commercial etrog farm in the U.S., in Exeter, California, to meet the non-Jews running it.
