soundcloud (2168) jewish (1827) morning jew katie halper heather gold
In honor of Pesach, liberation, Monica Lewinsky’ recent TED Talk and Indiana’s anti-gay implementation of a RFRA law about religion we replay a classic morning Jew that deals with all of these issues and features Dahlia Lithwick.
This week we have special guest Dalia Lithwick, legal expert and editor at Slate & Newsweek. We talk about how there used to be a separation of Church and State, how there are no more WASPs on the Supreme Court, George Clooney, Monica Lewinsky, Rob Ford and Principal Schmutz! And we do a lightning rounds of headlines.
Comics Heather Gold and Katie Halper discuss Lena Dunham and her recent New Yorker piece Dog or Jewish Boyfriend and the criticism surrounding it claiming that it’s anti-Semitic. The morning Jewesses cover male Jewish humourists like Woody Allen who talk about Jewish women in their work. They discuss the merfuffle over Dunham in general and imagine what an actual anti-Semitic piece would look like.
