This is belated, but I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who made it out Monday night. Though the weather was AWFUL, you guys forged through anyway and made the show a spectacular one.
For those who couldn’t make it on Monday night, Chapter 6 will be available this Saturday morning, March 23!
Wow! What a busy week! I’ve been so wrapped up in very exciting secret behind-the-scenes OMGWTFBIBLE things that will make this show even more amazing (and other, more mundane, tasks) that I haven’t found any time to post. That and all the Jewish news this week has been kind of depressing and you can probably read sad things elsewhere. But we have a new Pope! How cute is the new Pope? He’s the cutest possible Pope! JUST LOOK AT THIS POPE!
Pope Cuteness IV
I know he’s technically “Pope Francis” but I can’t help but call him “Pope Grandpa.”
Anyway, there is a live taping on Monday! Woohoo! If you can make it, I’d love to see you there!
Chapter 6 – LIVE! With special guest Steve DeSiena!
Parkside Lounge (317 E. Houston Street)
Monday, March 18 – 7:15 PM
21+! FREE !
What if you can’t make it?
The live episode will be available online on Saturday, March 23. Everybody wins! Weee!
I must apologize. This, which looks like a total mess, aired last night and I said nothing about it. I have failed somewhat in my duty to you as a funny Bible man.
Instead, I watched “Bob’s Burgers.” Because Jon Hamm was guest-voicing as a talking toilet. How could I not.
Anyway, at some point, I will do a time-shifted live-tweet this thing. Watch this space for date and time!
Check it out! Someone posted the entire King James Version of the bible on RapGenius, a site where Internet folk dissect and analyze rap lyrics. I can only assume that the only reason they didn’t use my translation is because it’s not finished yet.
Now!
Who wants to sign up there are start adding OMGWTFBIBLE jokes?
Chapter 5, with special guest Esther Werdiger, is now available, just in time for Purim! Listen in and learn about how Avram got involved with local politics for some reason!
Chapter 5 will be arriving on your Internet listening devices this Saturday! But to whet your palates for more biblical wackiness, I’m please to present our very first bonus episode. Recorded just before Chapter 5 was this Monday, in this special episode of the show, I’m joined by Jewniverse and Hello Giggles writer Julia Gazdag as we read an e-mail from a very special listener.
Enjoy!
Chapter 5 happened last night and some of our audience took some instagram photos! If you took some pictures, be sure to share them with #omgwtfbible!
First, some pre-show prep:

Here’s a shot of Esther and me talking about something crazy Avram did:

And of course, an upside-down picture of me turning into a ghost.
Get set to listen to Chapter 5 this Saturday! And check this space tomorrow! There might be a surprise!
I have been profoundly flattered by all the nice things people have been saying about OMGWTFBIBLE. Recently, Jewish Atheist, a not-very-religious blogger who, like me, comes from an Orthodox Jewish background, had this to say about the show:
This is a pretty awesome.
Reading through the Hebrew Bible.. and making fun all the way through. And done by an OTD Jew, which makes it a bit more relevant for folk like me than other popular bible-mockings. If you’re in NY, you should check out the live show.
I can’t say I disagree. If you’re curious about the live show, check out the details on facebook.
