Ask A Jew is going to Wyoming!! We’ll be hosting a live show Monday, August 10th in Jackson Hole , how cool would it be if you join us there? If not for us, do it for Nadav Eyal , who will be our special guest, and who we didn’t add to the above AI image because he may (rightfully) sue us. Any questions? Email us at askajewpod@gmail.com Thanks for reading Good for the Jews! This post is public so feel free to share it. This week, we discuss Clavicular and Ro Khanna’s great adventures, why the Haredi issue will probably determine Israel’s next elections, and how adorable it is that everyone’s obsessed with us. Oh look, i’m angry in the NY Post again! Please read and fume with me. This time I write about how a brave Israeli hostage practically had to ambush the UN lady in charge of violence against women to finally agree to hear about her sexual assault at the hands of Hamas. However bad you think the UN is - it’s worse. Now, here is a photo from my Israel trip, the dead sea to be exact. Fun fact - this animal is called a Yael. And yes, it wento to Harvard. Finally, last night I had dinner with not one but TWO former AAJ guests! Can you guess who they are? Hint: neither are Israeli.

Jean is the author of The Matzah Ball , Mr. Perfect on Paper , and Kissing Kosher . We enjoyed a funny, heartfelt, and surprisingly deep conversation about Jewish identity, chronic illness, love stories, and the very specific chaos of writing unapologetically Jewish characters in modern publishing. We talked about: * How Jean accidentally became one of the biggest names in Jewish romance fiction * Why Jewish representation in books matters (especially when the Jewish character isn’t just someone’s anxious accountant uncle) * The rise of the Jewish rom-com industrial complex * Chronic illness, vulnerability, and writing from real life * What makes a “Jewish love story” feel distinctly Jewish Jena is the Founder and CEO of Jewish Joy LLC and of the Jewish Joy Book Club .

Special guests may make an appearance… Now that logistics are out of the way - we gathered around the microphone last night to discuss Chaya Leah’s favorite holiday, Shavuout, and her two least favorite things in the world: antizionist Jews and Eurovision. We also have some TV and book recommendations for you, discuss Mayor Mamdani’s stupid party, and send some special love to Albania. Turns out I was partially right about our Albanian brethren, I said they didn’t lose a single Jew during the holocaust, turns out they actually GAINED Jews. You should use this super fun fact to impress your Albanian doormen in New York, they are very proud of it (rightfully so), as well as their impeccable Eurovision voting history (doormen may not care about that). Shout out to my dad Ronnie for this information! Some links: * JVP barfy tweet * J-Street mamdani Substack , what do you think? * Great book recommendation following our shipping recommendation - thank you to whoever suggested it! * ICYMI - my Eurovision recap (you don’t need to enjoy or like or even know what Eurovision is to read) * Some listeners suggested a book club, but we all know books are for nerds. How about we all pick a season of 90 Day Fiance and watch together?? Meisha and Nicola — a gorgeous American and painfully average Israeli united by their love of Jesus — agree!

Today on Ask a Jew, we’re joined by writer Freya India , author of Girls: Generation Z and the Commodification of Everything , to talk about what growing up as a girl looks like in the age of Instagram, how we are all carrying generational trauma from Eve, and why not everything in your life is a problem to be fixed. Turns out we’re all just 13-year-old girls! Now go buy the book. Do you know you can watch this episode on YouTube? Well, you can! We also get into why social media can feel like a “rumination machine” for anxious girls, how beauty culture and Facetune turn teenagers into products, and why every normal feeling is suddenly language‑ified into a “disorder,” a “trauma,” or a “healing journey.” We also talk about what boys are seeing online, the rise of “looksmaxxing,” and whether anyone knows how to have a normal relationship anymore. If you’re a parent, a millennial/Gen X woman looking at Gen Z with horror, or a Gen Z girl trying to make sense of your own feed, this one is for you.

Two episodes in one week? You lucky ducks! Maybe there’s even a third one coming…Only Hashem (and maybe producer Gabi) knows. BUT FIRST - are you following us on YouTube? Listen, I get if you’re an antisemite and don’t want to show your cards. We won’t judge you. But if you care about the Jewish people, really the only thing left to do is subscribe, like and leave a comment! We had some beginner’s luck with the delightful Sal Mercogliano (34,000 views?? Maybe we do control the media), and also uploaded some older ones, like fan favorite Michael C. Moynihan of The Fifth Column ! BTW if you are a YouTube expert email us at askajewpod@gmail.com for all your tips, because our team (aka Yael) does not know what it’s doing. You can also email any questions, comments and concerns there. Today’s episode is a blast from the past, aka last week. Not to make this a history lesson, but do you remember the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner? How about the King Charles White House visit? Those were the days! We also cover the terrible attack in London (sadly this could be true of any week), the etiquette of leaving voice notes, and how fun it is to colonize people’s minds. Enjoy.

Rabbi David Wolpe needs no introduction, but if you insist: He’s a scholar in residence at the Maimonides Fund, Rabbi Emeritus at LA’s Sinai Temple, and formerly a visiting scholar at the Harvard Divinity School (where, you know, Yael…never mind). This is a somewhat optimistic, thoughtful (well, at least Wolpe’s part), conversation about why Jews are fine (when’s the last time you saw a Hittite walking around?), whether the bible is true, how we can build stronger friendships with other communities, and if we should forgive Kanye….not to mention Mandy Patinkin. Happy Passover to our Jews, and Happy Easter to our Christians! Everyone else, have a wonderful and happy week, and thank you for listening! Also: * Jews like our clouds without silver lining. * Things are great! All things considered. * There’s no such thing as a grown up. * The wrath of Jewish WhatsApp groups (you don’t need to text him about every Swastika) * Wait, not everything in the bible is real??

Happy Nowruz! Is Iran winning? Do the people support the regime? Are the Arab countries mad at us? Beni Sabti has no time for your nonsense. Born and raised in Iran, Beni is one of Israel’s top war commentators and a fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) at Tel Aviv University. We were honored to catch him for a bit (albeit after a few glasses of wine…) to get the real story behind the headlines. Shots were fired, and narratives sunk like the Iranian Navy. Follow him on X.

Today on Ask A Jew, we fly into the future to talk to Claire Lehmann , the founder and editor-in-chief of Quillette , a fantastic Australia-based online publication. We talk about the state of the nation in the land down under, how Australians are grappling with the rise of antisemitism and radical Islam, and which Australian celebrities are secretly based (looking at you, Bluey). Before we kick that off, we spenD about 30 minutes catching up, talking covid, hugs, and the Manosphere. We obviously recorded this before the two horrific terrorist attacks in the US yesterday, and who knows what will happen in the coming days to make this episode seem out-of-date, or even more timely. If you’re Jewish, go to synagogue tonight. If you’re not, stop by and say hi. And either way, thank a police officer if you see them! xx TONS OF LINKS, VIDEOS AND FUN ON SUBSTACK!!
