Is anyone following this Yeshiva University situation with an on-campus LGBTQ group? Really interesting. My sense is that the Supreme Court will rule in YU’s favor, given their track record on religious cases
Pods! Have you ever listened to Three Jews, Four Opinions? They were on vacation last week so the last episode is 8/4 but it’s weekly. Anyways, three Jews spanning the political spectrum talk about US and Israeli politics. Warning: lots of yelling at each other to stop talking, and then talking over each other when they don’t. Pure joy https://open.spotify.com/show/3OCieZwg2lDpbhiQGYZl7D
Other than that, I think we all listen to the same podcasts. Chaya Leah, Identity/Crisis is great. P.s. I lied, People of The Pod from the AJC is also good https://www.ajc.org/peopleofthepod
Re: secular Jews and how they see Orthodox Jews. I could very much be an outlier but I’ve always appreciated the visibility of Orthodox Jews. “Brave” sounds condescending but that gets close to it without me rambling. Maybe “awe.”
I do think there’s a tension with secular Jews so Chaya Leah’s not imagining things. However, if a secular Jew feels embarrassment, that’s on them and they need to figure out their relationship to Judaism because it needs fixing. That feels like a self-hating thing to me.
I always imagine the orthodox in my neighborhood can tell I’m Jewish and think “there goes a Jew in the wild!”
And, apropos of nothing, I started reading Wandering Stars by Shalom Aleichem and it’s so good. The characters are constantly cursing things and I’m getting some great lines.
Love the podcast. Can’t wait to hear all about Bella hadid’s nose next week

I loved Israeli Sesame Street in Hebrew school!
