Eli Lake is back to guide us through the desert and into freedom, stopping along the way to talk about Kanye, Iraq, Ukraine, Israel, Trump, Alvin Bragg and Nickelback. Not quite the 10 plagues, but something.

Yael is back from Mexico, where she is profiled at the airport and almost gets a tattoo from an Argentine of German descent. Chaya Leah first tells a horror story of an interfaith breakfast, and then proceeds to offend everyone who loves the New Testament. Something for everyone on this episode of Ask a Jew!

Get out your jazz hands! In this episode of "Ask A Jew," men and women are dancing together! We welcome our two Broadway correspondents, playwright Jeremy Kareken ("Lifespan of a Fact"), and actor, director, singer and Jewish activist Ari Axelrod.

Not a big theatre fan? Don't worry, we get to the holocaust real fast!

We also discuss recent acts of antisemitism on and off Broadway (off Broadway antisemitism is a little smaller but usually still interesting), disagree a bit about micro-aggressions, and long for the failed Anne Frank musical (shhh!!!!)

Tom Brady, Ozempic, Madonna, and other heroes from the bible are discussed in this week's episode. We also give free medical advice, answer your questions about the NBA, and tell a lot of stories that start with, "I probably shouldn't say this on the podcast, but..."

This week we discuss Netflix's new romcom "You People," which frankly we find offensive to people who like funny movies and attractive male leads.

We also learn about a Kosher Superbowl halftime show, what Orthodox kids learned from Dr. Drew, and... our very ambitious underage stalker.

This week we interview David Ben-Moshe, a black guy from Baltimore who discovered Judaism while serving time in federal prison for drug and gun charges, and now lives in Israel as an orthodox Jew. Yup. Don't worry, we ask ALL the important questions in this episode, like "What kind of drugs did you sell,"  "Will we lose weight if *we* go to prison?" and "How did you find Jews to hang out with?" (answer: the white guys without the swastika tattoos)

David takes us through the pretty awesome spiritual journey of how he found comfort in the uncertainty of Judaism, how he always kept his eyes on the prize while doing time, and the wonderful and and not so wonderful people he met along the way. We also learn about how American bureaucracy almost crushed David's hopes and dreams as a convicted felon, to which Israeli bureaucracy replied - hold my beer!

David will be in NYC soon and we may host a little event, so if you are interested in joining, make sure to sign up to our Substack: Askajew.substack.com

Ever look at the Knesset and tell yourself, "Wow, we're lucky the US congress is so normal"? This week, we call on Lahav Harkov of the Jerusalem Post to help us untangle the swamp of israeli politics (mixed metaphors by design).
