Why does an alarm clock need to be Kosher?
Listener questions special!
In this episode of Ask A Jew, we answer your questions like why can religious Jews go into a mosque but not a church? Does an alarm clock need to be kosher? And should you say a prayer every time you use the bathroom?

Before we get to that though, we cover our thoughts on:
Is it ok to go back to posting day-to-day things on Instagram?
Our strange social media algorithms
The NYC Meetup wrap-up
The ugliest of all the Hadid’s
War isn’t a Loony Tunes cartoon
What we’re angry about today
AND - is TJ Maxx the secret to healing the world?
I got off of all social media during the pandemic but got back on Facebook after October 7th to troll UNRWA. In fact you might know me from my many UNRWA posts where I voice concern that Sinwar and his buddies have run out of tampons because a pretty girl like Sinwar doesn't want to leave a blood trail in a tunnel, as that would be a real tragedy. Other than that, I too watch a lot of Facebook Reels but with Orthodox Jewish men dancing - mostly in circles but it's mesmerizing.
Yael, I have a Rabbi (Angela Buchdahl) for you! I belong to her synagogue and she's kind of rockstar and her sermons are outstanding.
You two make me laugh more than anyone but also because I mostly listen to very serious Jews or unfunny Republicans, regardless, you guys are the best! Thanks!!!
I could listen to ChayaLeah talk about Judaism all day (or at least for an hour every week or so.) It's so important to be practice gratitude and participate in community, especially when the wider world is so full of sadness and brokenness.
