| Escalate Me, Bro | 02 Oct 2024 | 01:06:43 | |
Sunday October 6 listener Zoom!! Go to askajew.substack.com for details. Shana Tova from the bomb shelter! Just kidding, the IDF said we can go out, plus, after an hour we finished folding laundry and drinking a bottle of whiskey, and we were bored. This episode was recorded before Iran launched a ballistic missile attack at our faces, so if we sound a little too cheerful and irreverent....well, I guess that's on brand. Pics and links here on substack. In this one:

Sign up for FREE on our Substack to stay in touch! Today we welcome national security correspondent, journalist and podcaster Eli Lake. Since we have such an esteemed guest with us, we spend plenty of time talking about reality tv, hot members of congress, and circumcisions. But also: why are people so obsessed with Israel, the ortho-woke, Salman Rushdie, Trump vs. Netanyahu, Kanye West, Zen and the art of dodging missiles, getting high in the bible, and much much more...

| ASK A JEW: Little Miss Has No Confidence | 10 Aug 2022 | 01:01:15 | |
In this episode of AAJ the girls go real deep on being confident and dealing with their shortcomings, all while blaming their moms (and the Holocaust) for their problems. They also discuss Yael's bday party that you weren't invited to, ChayaLeah's obsession with a Mormon family on Instagram, why Yael refuses to be saved by a podiatrist, and of course, cats that look like Hitler.

| ASK A JEW: The Naked and Afraid Archeologist | 03 Aug 2022 | 00:57:21 | |
Yael and Chaya Leah debate the hot issues of the day, from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to something happening to someone in China? (We weren't really paying attention).
Also: how we define our Judaism (surprisingly the girls have very different answers for this), the best and worst airports, Chaya Leah gets fat-shamed by an (anti-semitic) TSA dog, Yael pulls off a major international smuggling operation at the age of 14, and much much more!

| ASK A JEW: Better Sorry Than Safe | 19 Jul 2022 | 01:08:24 | |
Chaya Leah and Yael welcome parenting guru and "America's Worst Mom", Lenore Skenazy. We talk about how to let your child grow freely (whatever the opposite of helicopter parenting is), deadly laundry baskets, anxious parents, and crappy kids. We talk about the importance of play, take some questions about screen time, and how parents and kids can slowly learn how to chill. This is a great conversation even if you don't have kids! Lenore is the president of Let Grow, the nonpartisan nonprofit promoting childhood independence and resilience. A reporter by trade – including 14 years at The New York Daily News -- Lenore came to prominence/infamy after her newspaper column “Why I Let My 9-Year-Old Ride the Subway Alone” landed her on The Today Show, MSNBC, Fox News and NPR. Allowing her son that unsupervised trip garnered her the nickname “America’s Worst Mom.” She went on to write Free-Range Kids, the book-turned-movement claiming “Our kids are safer and smarter than our culture gives them credit for.” The book’s second edition just came out this summer, with a forward by Let Grow co-founder Jonathan Haidt. (And his wife! And daughter!) Lenore has been profiled in The New Yorker, lectured everywhere from Disney to DreamWorks to the Bulgarian Happiness Festival (a real thing). And you may have seen her reality show, World’s Worst Mom. Joing the AAJ conversation on Susbtack! askajew.substack.com Email us your questions askajewpod@gmail.com ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Want to help us grow?

| ASK A JEW: Revenge of the Rabbi | 12 Jul 2022 | 01:14:08 | |
Rabbi Aba Perlmutter is back! He wanted to talk about laughter, but being the serious pundits that we are, we went straight to abortions. The orthodox take might surprise you. We also get some spiritual guidance on how not to hate our fellow man (even though they can be really annoying), discuss why we should hold the center and love our country, why we don’t need a Jewish president (or king), Chaya Leah’s royal aspirations, what the rabbi thinks about Meghan and Harry, the Jewish view on divorce, the importance of shame, John Travolta, online communities vs. IRL communities, night terrors, the praying football coach, Muslim and Jewish privilege, and how to fix your life (don't worry, he won't tell you to become orthodox). Also, if you want to know the secret to a happy marriage, you’re going to get through a story about Carson Daly. Please remember to sign up to our substack: askajew.substack.com and email us at askajewpod@gmail.com. Our next guest is Lenore Skenazy, founder of Free Range Kids and America's Worst Mom, according to the biased media.

| ASK A JEW: The First Ladies | 05 Jul 2022 | 00:56:52 | |
Your two favorite Jews and backup Jew Nancy Rommelmann are back to talk about everything but abortions! We start with a historical overview of the hotness of First Ladies, a certain Israeli first lady's fondness for cases of pink champagne (I mean, who amongst us?), the royal family, getting older (related), gardening (super related) and Jews surviving in the wild in Peru (the Jews are related to the host). Also: * The Holocaust weight loss challenge * Bodega guy - friend or bro? A crisis communications disaster. * USA! USA! USA! * Stealing silverware from a country club. * Traveling during Covid is a human right. * Working out in the heat is a human right's violation. * Check out friend Meghan Daum's and future friend Sarah Haider's new podcast, A Special Place in Hell Happy Anniversary to Chaya Leah and Baruch, the world's most patient British Orthodox Jew.

| ASK A JEW: Every Cow Has a Hebrew Name | 15 Jun 2022 | 00:58:35 | |
Chaya Leah manages to ruin Yael's surprise birthday party within the first 5 minutes of the episode. Yael talks about her vegan vacation in Northern Israel, and the girls discuss the Queen's birthday (like, *the* queen, not Yael), our giant fanbase in Kuwait, a listener question about Jewish quibbles over the letters S and T (as in Shabbas vs. Shabbat), new Hebrew words that just dropped, Yiddish is so hot right now, Starbucks makes America great, and even a talmudic take on Amber Heard and Johnny Depp (what is this, May 2022?).

| ASK A JEW: Anti-Racist Fetus | 01 Jun 2022 | 01:07:20 | |
The girls welcome Coleman Hughes. If you haven’t heard the name, Coleman is a gifted writer, musician, rapper, podcaster, and probably a Nobel Prize winning physician too. After Chaya Leah makes it awkward right off the bat, we move to topics like: * Afros make you closer to G_d, * The season when Hasidic people bloom * Seeing the best in people * Coleman doesn’t know much about the israeli Palestinian conflict and we love him for it * Campus wars vs actual wars * Anti-racist fetus * Coleman not being funny (?) * A good Neil deGrasse Tyson story * Amare Stoudemire doesn’t play on Shabbos * Famous Jewish Rap legends * An even better Snoop Dogg story * Coleman’s band will make you not want to go home * We Didn’t Start the Fire isn’t a Jewish song? * Sam Harris and other imaginary friends
We could have gone on forever but we were about to pass out from the heat.

| ASK A JEW: No Sleep Till Brooklyn | 25 May 2022 | 00:34:03 | |
If NYC felt extra holy this week, it was because Chaya Leah and Yael were roaming the streets together, handing out blessings and kissing babies. They got in the sweltering studio to talk about meeting fans IRL at the Fifth Column live event, going on a tour of Crown Heights, being mocked (rightfully) by waiters at a kosher Chinese restaurant, and more. Also, Chaya Leah maps out Brooklyn, which is kind of like a West Side Story of Jews but with less dance-fighting. And the girls settle an age-old question the rabbis can't agree on - is Hugh Grant still attractive?

| ASK A JEW: 3 Jews, 2 Drink Minimum. | 20 Apr 2022 | 01:25:28 | |
The girls fawn over Noam Dworman, owner of Comedy Cellar, and the NYC comedy scene's very own godfather, if the godfather was Jewish and generally just a cool guy. We talk about his personal history to the industry through his father, the holocaust being funnier than slavery, what American Jews get wrong about Israel, Will Smith (...we recorded this a little while ago), why comedians are funny, Hasidic Jews and COVID, comedy and COVID, and how we all love Orthodox Jews unless we're on a plane. Noam also shares how it was to bring back Louis CK post-cancellation, as well an almost-traumatic childhood memory... Go to Comedy Cellar!

Chaya Leah tells the tale of how she and her girlfriends traveled around the country in a van solving mysteries with a dog... or that might be Scooby Doo. But the part about traveling around the country with a van full of Jews is true! Also, Yael tries to compliment the Rebbe but ends up offending him (of course) by comparing him to the pope. Bonus content: Purim, Brad Pitt, diets, and an accidentally deep conversation towards the end about the F word (feminism) Trigger warning: You may never again be able to eat Hamentschen after this episode.Joing the AAJ conversation on Susbtack! askajew.substack.com Email us your questions askajewpod@gmail.com ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Want to help us grow?

| Ask a Jew: 210% Ashkanazi Jews (7) | 11 Jan 2022 | 00:56:55 | |
Yael and Chaya Leah welcome Bill Schulz, who walks like a Jew, talks like a Jew, but is actually some type of Catholic. The trio compare various percentages of Ashkenazi blood, ask Bill for dating advice (which is kind of like asking Chaya Leah for help picking a country club) and ponder the merits of children, friendships, and breaking out of Yeshiva.Joing the AAJ conversation on Susbtack! askajew.substack.com Email us your questions askajewpod@gmail.com ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Want to help us grow?

Chaya Leah is hung over in Vegas while Yael is nursing her COVID (or is it the other way around?), and talk New Year's resolutions, favorite books of 2021, and fawn over the two great minds, Christopher Hitchens and that guy that was married to Reese Witherspoon.

Yael and Chaya Leah kick around the idea of mezuzah merch, talk about the kosher haven that is Cancun, and try to bring back smoking, as G_d intended.

| Ask a Jew: G-d loves the New England Patriots (3) | 29 Nov 2021 | 00:47:23 | |
Chaya Leah and Yael make it 90 seconds before talking about the Holocaust, but don’t worry, it’s funny (though if you’re not Jewish please don’t laugh). Yael learns about sexy Hasidic men with back tattoos, and is also relieved to find out she can indeed be buried in a Jewish cemetery, despite her 90210 tramp stamp. The girls also grapple with a Talmudic question concerning an ugly bride, determine it’s ok to pray for the Yankees to lose, and Chaya Leah tells of her special not-at-all creepy Sam Harrisspreadsheet.Joing the AAJ conversation on Susbtack! askajew.substack.com Email us your questions askajewpod@gmail.com ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Want to help us grow?

| Getting up again | 01 Sep 2024 | 00:35:20 | |
We hopped on to record with a heavy heart this morning, after hearing the devasating news of the murder of 6 Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity: Carmel Gat, Ori Danino, Almog Sarusi, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alex Lobanov and Eden Yerushalmi. They managed to survive 11 months, only to be executed somewhere between Thursday and Friday by their captors. We're angry, sad, contemplative, fearful - and thought you might want to join us through this ride.

| Urban Warfare Urban Legends with John Spencer | 26 Jun 2024 | 01:13:18 | |
Why war isn't as simple as two armies fighting, the obsession with "2,000 pound bombs", Hamas's non-battlefield strategy (which the media helps it achieve) and so much more with John Spencer. No one understands the intricacies of modern warfare like John Spencer. As a retired US Army Major and chair of Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point, not only has he studied war for years, he also put his boots on the ground as a soldier and researcher (including several visits to Gaza over the last year). So of course, we asked him the important questions - are we all going to die? Is he single? And why is he so obsessed with concrete? The After Action Review:
