S1 Ep 22: In this episode Rabbi Spiro and Ellie are discussing a push by antisemitic groups to have local governments in the US make resolutions stating that their police force is racist and violent because they trained with the IDF. This has passed in Durham NC, Seattle and it's on the way to several other US cities. We are looking into what is the history and halacha of Jewish rules of engagement in war, what is a moral army and what is the history of how Jewish soldiers are allowed to act, train and carry out missions.

S1 Ep 20: In this episode Rabbi Spiro and Ellie are dissecting the birth of the word “antisemitism” and how only 75 years ago, the racial and scientific dialogue of the age, and well-devised language and marketing, crafted a new and dangerous justification for hatred that ultimately ended up purposefully wiping out ⅔ of the European Jewish world, and ⅓ of all Jews worldwide in full view of civilized humanity.
