Lebanon is for Lovers - with Jonathan Elkhoury

Wednesday, December 11, 2024 • Duration 01:18:49

Jonathan Elkhoury is just your typical Lebanese, Israeli, Christian, Gay Zionist.

Born in Lebanon, Jonathan fled the country at the age of 8 with his family when Hezbollah took over their village. Since his father was in the South Lebanese Army and worked closely with the IDF, the family (along with about 6,000 other SLA members and their families) were offered refuge in Israel, where they have been living since.

Follow Jonathan on Instagram, X and Facebook,

Escalate Me, Bro

Wednesday, October 2, 2024 • Duration 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:

Who’s less hot, JD Vance or Tim Walz?
An update on Nicole Kidman’s wigs on The Perfect Couple
Our low expectations from celebrities these days
George Washington wrote a nice letter once to Jews an we’re still talking about it
A distressed hostage back from Hamas captivity, and Noa Argamani
El Al to people trying to get flight tickets to Israel: Don’t.
What kind of Orthodox is this?
Is Austria’s far right leader hot? AAJ investigates
An on-an-off relationship with G_d
We may have made a big mistake offing that austere religious scholar Hassan Nasrallah
Our friend Eli Lake about the importance of winning, in The Free Press
A Sephora for Beirut
Why do Orthodox women always do this for a living?
And a listener has an R-rated Auschwitz related question…

ASK A JEW: America Don't Worry, Israel is Behind You, with Eli Lake

Tuesday, August 16, 2022 • Duration 01:18:56

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...

Check out The Re-Education with Eli Lake

ASK A JEW: Little Miss Has No Confidence

Wednesday, August 10, 2022 • Duration 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

Wednesday, August 3, 2022 • Duration 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!

Book recommendation: Spies of No Country, by Matti Friedman.

Broadway recommendation: MJ the Musical (It's amazing. Don't @ me.)

ASK A JEW: Better Sorry Than Safe

Tuesday, July 19, 2022 • Duration 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.

ASK A JEW: Revenge of the Rabbi

Tuesday, July 12, 2022 • Duration 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

Tuesday, July 5, 2022 • Duration 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.

Make sure to check out Nancy's podcast with Sara Hepola, "Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em"

And Nancy's writings at Make More Pie

ASK A JEW: Every Cow Has a Hebrew Name

Wednesday, June 15, 2022 • Duration 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?).
