Karen sits down with Smashing Life member Emily Cohen for an honest chat about contemporary Jewish life - from dealing with antisemitism in the workplace to what it’s like to be a single Jewish woman in 2023.

They cover everything from how Emily started wearing a Star of David in response to an antisemitic boss, to what it’s like engaging in Jewish life as a single thirty-something woman, to what exactly it is that makes the Smashing Life community so empowering.

You’ll find out:

- Emily’s advice for anyone dealing with antisemitism in the workplace

- How non-Jews can make workplaces inclusive for Jews

- Why so many people don’t think of Jews as a minority 

- What congregations can do to make themselves more welcoming to single Jews 

- Why Jewish singles events need to stop cutting off at age 36

- What it’s like being on Jewish dating apps in 2023

- Why Jewish community’s become more important to Emily over time

- Why Shemini Atzeret and Yom Kippur are Emily’s favorite Jewish holidays
