Ep 27 – Count on Me

04/27/23 • 47 min

Jews are in a period of semi-mourning as we count the days of the Omer after Passover. So it’s only appropriate that this episode is heavier than most, as we discuss the Holocaust, funerals, yahrtzeits, and plagues. Luckily, Asher infuses his patented optimism throughout the episode and helps us conclude on an uplifting note, as we discuss both the afterlife and birkas ha-ilanos, an annual prayer for newly flowering trees. We also debate whether Asher should buy a round at his local neo-Nazi biker bar.
