Assemblyman Sam Berger, a Queens Democrat, visited the studio to discuss what it's like being one of a handful of Orthodox Jews in the state legislature.
We discuss interactions with his colleagues, how faith informs his political values, oversight of Yeshivas and pandering on issues related to Israel. We also get to the bottom of whether there are good bagels near the Capitol.
