Join us November 7th in NYC for a Shabbat dinner!! Tickets here! There will be food, there will be alcohol, there will be listeners just like you. Tickets are limited.
In this solo-pod, we recommend taking smartphones away from your kids and giving them cigarettes instead, ask ourseleves if we are crying wolf about Mamdani (no), and discuss what Israeli Jews and diaspora Jews should learn from each other.
As I was typing this, I just heard of the passing of the NYPD’s Chaplain, Chief Chaplain Rabbi Dr. Alvin Kass.
Rabbi Kass had close to 60 years of service under his belt with the NYPD, and was an absolute powerhouse. You couldn’t meet with him and not feel uplifted, no matter your background or faith. He truly loved this city, the NYPD, the Jewish faith, the cops - he was one of a kind. His legacy is pretty much the opposite of everything Mamdani stands for, and we should never forget him. May his memory be a blessing.
