Welcome back to edJEWcation! On this week’s episode, we start by discussing a couple of potential business ideas: Could there be a “Chabad-mode” for AI that would allow Jews who are Shomer Shabbos to use it during the weekly day of rest? Or a “Fred Flintstone-mode” for Uber so observant Jews can use it during the holiday?Then we get into the meat of our discussion (no dairy, though; this is a thoroughly kosher podcast): the holiday of Shavuot (which is going on in the US right now), which

Many OG’s (original gentiles) think that Jews’s favorite holiday is Hanukkah because of the gifts (awesome) and the gelt (disgusting), but au contraire, in our expert opinion, the titleholder and reigning champion for favorite Jewish holiday is Passover.After all, who doesn’t like five-hour dinners where you lament the enslavement of your
