In this episode I answer the burning question: why don't all Jews celebrate Sigd?

I also talk about Israel, explaining why it it NOT an apartheid state and wonder why the world hates that tiny little country so much. And, what a Jewish philosophy can teach us about the absurdity of the idea of cultural appropriation.

Can companies please stop preaching at us? I want to buy scented soaps without being berated for my "privilege." 

Filling out a government form made me think: do we know what race is?
