NEW EPISODE: The Schmooze — with Special Guest Rob Nagus, CEO of @calgary_jewish_federation.

This one is special.

Not only because it’s our first guest episode — but because the conversation goes right to the heart of Jewish life in Calgary.

We sat down with Rob Nagus, CEO of Calgary Jewish Federation, to talk about:

🟦 What Federation actually does
🟦 How Jewish community infrastructure is sustained
🟦 Why advocacy, security, and education matter now more than ever
🟦 The rise of antisemitism in Canada
🟦 The power and responsibility of community involvement

Rob also shares his personal journey — from Montreal to Edmonton, to Toronto, and finally back to Alberta — and how those experiences shaped his understanding of Jewish belonging.

This isn’t just an interview.

It’s a conversation about identity, resilience, and building something that lasts.

If you care about Jewish Calgary — listen us schmooze...

For years, people in our community have said the same thing:

“We need one place to stay updated.”
“We need stronger communication between organizations.”
“We need to know what’s happening, who’s doing what, and how we can get involved.”

So… we built it. And I’m genuinely excited to share it with you.

🎙️ Introducing The Schmooze — Calgary’s Jewish Community Podcast!
This is more than a show. It’s a central hub for our entire community. A place where stories, updates, voices, and conversations can finally live in one accessible space.

Every week, Jared and I will be bringing you:

• meaningful interviews with community leaders and doers
• conversations about the issues shaping Jewish Calgary
• spotlights on upcoming events and opportunities
• behind-the-scenes looks at the organizations that support our city
• stories you may never have heard, but absolutely should

Our goal is simple: to help Jewish Calgary feel more connected, more informed, and more united.

If we want a stronger, healthier, more vibrant community, we need a shared space where we can talk, learn, laugh, disagree respectfully, and build together.

That’s what The Schmooze is for.

This is a starting point — and I honestly believe it can grow into something powerful with your support.

Episode 1 is officially live.

Come join us, listen in, and be part of the conversation that brings our community together.
