The Jews Are The Winningest Team in Human History — Rabbi Leor Sinai (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rabbi Leor Sinai changed Margarita's life before he ever met her. He ran Alexander Muss High School in Israel, the program that completely shaped Margarita's Jewish identity.

He's also the guy who wrote his college thesis on whether jokes can make people less racist. Turns out the answer is complicated — and there's one type of humor that can actually make prejudice *worse*. Harrison gets honest about the sharp rise in antisemitism showing up in his comments, the audience member who blurted "no" when he said he was Jewish, and why b
Chloe Hechter - People's Jewish American Princess (opens the original)
