  • The best podcast for a demoralized Jew (ally of Jews)

    Being Jewish is indispensable listening to anyone who feels so tired, frustrated and torn down by today unprecedented in the modern era attack on Jews; who feels like they are alone, too overwhelmed to think through (very importantly) concise arguments to push back against the hatred. Jonah really brings the best guests, all of who are serious, thoughtful, and experienced people with years or decades of expertise on all things Jew, and most critical, all things Jew hatred. Five stars.

  • Amazing interview with Jay Sanderson

    Fascinating interview with Jay Sanderson! I have seen the need for an evolution in the way Judaism is taught and information is disseminated, and I could not agree more that we need young Jewish minds who embrace AI and social media in order to move forward into the future.
