Summary

Happy almost-Iran war day! On this solo pod, we discuss our respective Valentine’s Days, whether or not the US should start executing Olympic athletes who don’t bring home medals, and Chaya Leah’s near Holocaust experience at a fancy kosher restaurant in LA. We also finally take some listener questions! We help a listener explain to her Goyfriend why she wants to raise their kids Jewish even though she’s not a huge Jew herself, and advise another listener facing her new role at work as the token “tell us about antisemitism” employee. You can send yours to [email protected]. No questions is stupid, as you can clearly see by Yael’s question about a drunk encounter with a Big Mac. Want to help us grow?
