Ask a Jew

The Antisemitism space is thriving

Episode Summary

In this episode we cover a failed meditation, a succesful trip to Israel (it's all fine now), and the moral confusion about rapes that aren't planned but just kind of happen. Also: a listener creates a fun game: who said it white nationalist or left wing antisemite? Check out askajew.substack.com to play! Our apologies to Princess Kate for making fun of her, clearly we recorded this hours before she shared the news of her diagnoses.
