Listen "Matir Asurim"
Episode Synopsis
Did Asher visit Africa to avoid Pesach cleaning? We discuss his recent trip to Ghana (after Syria), and John suspects that Asher is a CIA officer. Asher describes the slave trade artifacts he witnessed, and contrasts them to slavery in the ancient Jewish tradition. He then answers Passover FAQs and reminds us to remember the goal of our seders. We grapple with having gratitude for freedom while our people remain in tunnels. Of course, no Jewish podcast is complete without referencing a problematic case of someone shouting “Heil Hitler.”
