The CJN office is coming up on a summer vacation, so the Canadian Jewish Shmooze and Menschwarmers are taking a couple weeks off. But when we get back, we've got some exciting news — The CJN Podcast Network is growing.

Famed soccer commentator Andrés Cantor best sums up our feelings about the Toronto Raptors winning the NBA Finals: "¡GOOOAAAAALLLLLL!" But God forbid we have a parade and someone not rain on it — in this case, those someones are BDS supporters who took issue with Raptors co-owner Larry Tanenbaum promising to fly the team to Israel. Plus: checking anti-Semitism in the FIFA Women's World Cup.

Menschwarmers is hosted by Gabe Pulver and Jamie Hirsh, and produced by Alex Rose. Michael Fraiman is the supervising producer and edited this episode. Our music is “Brass” by 4bstr4ck3r feat. Daman.

The NBA Finals are afoot, and the Toronto Raptors are roaring ahead as potential first-time champions. Behind them every step of the way—sometimes too literally—is probably the most famous Canadian Jew alive, Forest Hill's own Aubrey "Drake" Graham. Hosts Gabe and Jamie chat about the concerns that he's not acting like a nice, quiet Jewish boy.
