We lament the “useful idiots” who support Hamas, but derive hope from our true allies. Asher surprisingly announces his political aspirations, while John (an avid C-SPAN viewer) advises caution. Asher memorializes Samantha Woll, and we compare notes on our crying habits these days. We rejoice in the newfound Jewish unity and faith, and John reminds us that humor is a Jewish superpower in times of trouble.

Ep 36 – Am Yisrael Chai

In our most somber episode (hopefully ever), we discuss how we celebrated Judaism’s happiest day on Israel’s saddest day. Asher taps his expertise on Islam to explain the 10/7 perpetrators, while we try to understand the mentality of their supporters worldwide. So much for Asher’s upcoming “shared society” trip to Israel. As usual, we end on a positive note, in this case the return of Jewish unity - for now.

Ep 38 – Best of Times, Worst of Times

Asher describes being one of almost 300,000 at the Israel rally, while John joined virtually. We turn our ire on fellow Jews who give aid and comfort to the enemy, and suggest mini-cherem for them. After questioning whether we can be simultaneously frightened and emboldened by current events, we end on a note of Thanksgiving - and kosher turkey.
Enjoy Thanksgiving!
