Ask a Jew: 210% Ashkanazi Jews (7) Jan 11, 2022

Show notes

Yael and Chaya Leah welcome Bill Schulz, who walks like a Jew, talks like a Jew, but is actually some type of Catholic.

The trio compare various percentages of Ashkenazi blood, ask Bill for dating advice (which is kind of like asking Chaya Leah for help picking a country club) and ponder the merits of children, friendships, and breaking out of Yeshiva.Joing the AAJ conversation on Susbtack!

Ask a Jew: There Were No Fat people in the Holocaust (6) Dec 31, 2021

Show notes

Chaya Leah is hung over in Vegas while Yael is nursing her COVID (or is it the other way around?), and talk New Year's resolutions, favorite books of 2021, and fawn over the two great minds, Christopher Hitchens and that guy that was married to Reese Witherspoon.

Ask a Jew: People You Thought Were Jewish (4) Dec 06, 2021

Show notes

Yael and Chaya Leah kick around the idea of mezuzah merch, talk about the kosher haven that is Cancun, and try to bring back smoking, as G_d intended.

We also debut a new interview feature, People You Thought Were Jewish! Starting with our good friend, journalist and media mogul Nancy Rommelmann, who despite being a funny writer from New York, is actually not a Jew.

Have any ideas for people we could interview who just *feel* Jewish to you, but are not? Let us know on Twitter!

Ask a Jew: G-d loves the New England Patriots (3) Nov 29, 2021

Show notes

Chaya Leah and Yael make it 90 seconds before talking about the Holocaust, but don’t worry, it’s funny (though if you’re not Jewish please don’t laugh). Yael learns about sexy Hasidic men with back tattoos, and is also relieved to find out she can indeed be buried in a Jewish cemetery, despite her 90210 tramp stamp. The girls also grapple with a Talmudic question concerning an ugly bride, determine it’s ok to pray for the Yankees to lose, and Chaya Leah tells of her special not-at-all creepy Sam Harrisspreadsheet.Joing the AAJ conversation on Susbtack!
