Episode Synopsis

For the second time, we've got an episode based not on my Rear Pew Mirror humor column, but on my actual yes-they-let-me sermon from the first day of Passover (April 16, 2022). It's a special one, as it was my first sermon in my hometown since my bar mitzvah. They let me back in, and didn't kick me right back out.
Also, instead of being about any of the many Passover-related things in the Passover Torah reading, it's about another subject entirely. In fact, it's entirely about "the other" – the Eirev Rav, the mixed multitude, making their only named appearance in the entire Bible. And about football. And Star Trek.
Hear how close I teetered to causing a lightning strike on a sunny spring day. And how any image you conjure of "sermon" ain't what people get from me. 
Confused? You won't be after this episode of the Rear Pew Mirror podcast.
