Ask a Jew ·

2023/12/21

This week we are re-airing one of our favorite episodes, "All I want for Christmas is Jews", from December 2022. In this episode we interview Rabbi David Komerofsky, an expert on Christmas music. I know, right??If Rabbi K's name sounds familiar, it's because his congregation in Canton, Ohio was just the target of a shooting plot by a 13-year-old. Such are the times. But first - Chaya Leah is back from Israel and we talk about the horrors she saw there, as well as the horrors she saw in her hometown
