The Jew Function Podcast

He's the host of the Tattoos and Torah podcast and he can dig into Talmudic wisdom to cure your addictions, fatherhood challenges, and LGBTQ+ questions. We're hoping he can summon all of his wisdom, spiritual prowess, and unbelievably positive attitude to help us heal the world of Antisemitism. Join us. What allowed the Oct. 7 atrocities to unfold? Why are Jews best defined by their troubl...

Rabbi Leo Dee has endured what no man should. He lost his wife and two daughters in a terrorist attack in April of 2023. But this tragedy, which could've easily brought any of us to our knees, has brought out even finer qualities in an already special individual. He's one of our most insightful guests and he doesn't want others to wait for something painful to bring out the pain in the...

Joe Roberts is managing director of Winston Wilmont, a public affairs firm, and chair of Meretz Canada. He has served in senior leadership positions in Jewish communal organizations across North America. He's advocating for the people, for democracy, for human rights. A columnist. He's a husband. Dad. Jew. But he is also someone who isn't afraid to show his humanity and challenge Jews...

We finally decided to bring the man behind the organization that will free all Jews from their oppressors. We're talking of course about the Mossad. More specifically, the Mossad's fake X account hilariously run by Shwn Eni. We want to tell you more but we'd have to kill you. The best thing to do is tune in and see how the Mossad's parody can help us fight Antisemitsm. But don'...

Seth Menachem is going to be the second psychotherapist we've had on and we have some good feelings about him because in his practice he says that "I work to help you understand your history so we can discover how it is influencing the ways in which you currently operate in the world" - which is exactly what we do with Jews and antisemitism. He's also Fred Menachem's little b...

Seth and I go a long way back with Joseph. I worked on a documentary from 2012 with him and Seth is co-hosting The Great Transition with him. In both instances, his brilliant mind, his clarity of articulation and creative vision, shine through everything he does. We invited him to talk about the state of Israel, of Israelis, and of Jewish unity. He took time from his duty as a medic reservist to b...

Gary Wexler has been there when the foundations for the irrational anti-Jewish campaigns were laid in western schools and in the media. He's a writer for the Jewish Journal, a master marketer, and someone you'd like to listen to. What allowed the Oct. 7 atrocities to unfold? Why are Jews best defined by their troubles? What could be the solution to antisemitism, anti-zionism, and anti-Jewi...

Member of Knesset Hanoch Milvidsky just came back from a visit to the White House and the largest Jewish rally in DC. What went down? What does the future hold? How do we emerge from the current, seemingly never ending, crisis? What allowed the Oct. 7 atrocities to unfold? Why are Jews best defined by their troubles? What could be the solution to antisemitism, antizionism, and anti-Jewish sentimen...

What allowed the Oct. 7 atrocities to unfold? Why are Jews best defined by their troubles? What could be the solution to antisemitism, antizionism, and anti-Jewish sentiment worldwide? what is actually within our control? Is there a science that can explain the laws that govern our development as a society, as a species? What can 2000 years of recorded Jewish history and big data tell us about our...

So much has been said about this eloquent Rabbinfluencer. He recently resigned from the Harvard advisory board on antisemitism and he spoke with Sam Harris about it. But we wanted to dig a little deeper, beyond the internal politics and the obvious frustrations, and get to the heart of what could be the only real solution to antisemitism.  Rabbi David Wolpe X: @RabbiWolpe   W: https://t.co/4WTfPcg...

Bubbling with energy and a good dose of rebellious spirit, Etana is probably one of the few guests we've had on the show that took a real stab at defining Jews from the positive, or at least describing a few time-honored practices all centered around one tent pole, that she felt are at the root of Jewish success. Did we find something tangible the world can actually learn from us and apply at...

They should call him Fred Mensch. We thought we needed cyber security against the alarming rise (surprise surprise) in cyber attacks against Jewish institutions and Jewish individuals. But by the end of the talk, we felt there was some other force we could lean on when the going gets tough. Fred lays bare his life story, his battle with antisemitism, and his beautiful heart. Get ready to hit the g...

JEWS AND THE SURVIVAL OF THE SYSTEM is a modern scientific exploration of Antisemitism or Anti-semitism around the world using the emerging sciences of cybernetics, systems theory and network theory. It describes how the human family is no different than any other integral, interconnected system in nature that exhibits growth by hubs and nods just like any other complex system. Jews are the hubs (...

What would it take for Jews to unite? We connect with Trisha and Gerald Posner, David Bernstein, David Lange, and Rolene Marks for this live podcast. #israel #humanity #antisemitism This talk was great. we even had a rocket alert in Israel in the middle of our conversation!

This talk with Sabrina—wise, well-informed, and so sweet—was so positive about the future. Her thesis carefully laid out the problem of being a Jew in Harvard and the eternal dilemma of which side of the map to lean into in order to follow your conscience and preserve your safety. Little did we suspect that our world would be turned upside down and that the worst we came to assume about Harvard wo...

They write non-fiction history books, do investigative reporting, they contribute to NBC, the History Channel, CNN, FOX News, CBS, and MSNBC, they've created antisemitismwatch.org, and they somehow managed to keep a successful marriage for decades!

The former Seattle Times Editorial Team and columnist got fired by a woke mob over a tweet saying that Hitler could be viewed as less evil than Lenin. Whether or not you agree with his views this gentle journalist has a great point to make about society's double standards and the problem it poses for Jews.

Few others can look at history through such a clear lens as to start seeing those patterns we've been discussing here. Fewer have been able to write so eloquently about these moments in history. Charles makes the case for a mass exodus from the political left. But is there some other power we should turn to or are we destined to wander the hallways of Congress alone forever?  CHARLES MOSCOWITZ...
