Two episodes a week? It must be some kind of non-denominational holiday season miracle!
For this episode, we got a Rabbi who’s an expert on Christmas music. No, really. David Komorovsky is a rabbi in Canton, Ohio. Growing up in the Midwest with a Jewish community the size of a high school football team, Rabbi David amassed an encyclopedic knowledge of all things Goy, including our peoples guilty pleasure: Christmas music.
We talk to Rabbi David about the age old antisemitic trope that Jews are behind all the Christmas songs and… oh wait, what? It’s true? Why *did* Jews write the best Christmas songs? Turns out there is a simple answer, one that anyone who grew up as a bit if an outsider will relate to.
Merry Christmas to all our Christians, we love that you listen to a podcast called "Ask a Jew" and promise to protect you if anyone ever calls you an antisemite. To our Jews, happy C/Hannukah, turns out if you go watch a public menorah lighting it doesn’t count, you still have to go light one yourself at home, as Yael just learned :/ And if you celebrate anything else or are a practicing atheist (we love those too!), please let us know below so we can properly shower you with blessings.
