Kiddush Club - News for Jews

With Yeshiva Week behind us, and a once in a decade storm sweeping the country, our hosts are back in the studio, braving the cold, and asking the main question everyone is wondering: what in the world is bananas and rice?!    In unfortunate news another civilian was lost at the hands of ICE, and people from all sides - right, left and center are questioning: has ICE gone too far? We tackle that q...

It's all about bullying this week. No, not the school-type (although eerily similar) but the bullying that goes on in politics, specifically as related to President Trump.  First, the Board of Peace is underway, with a cool $1B price tag to join, and of course, YOU BETTER JOIN or you may get tarriffed to oblivian! Then we delve into the Greenland saga, where more and more countries are lining up a...

It's happened many times before but for some reason this time feels different. The people have taken to the streets en masse in Iran, Trump has drawn a red line, the brutal Iranian regime is murdering innocents, and yet we hear absolutely nothing from all the brave SJ Warriors across the world in protest.  We tackle the latest in Iran, as well as a follow up to the other powder keg: Greenland.   A...

Talk about starting off the new year with a bang!   In a stunning operation, US Delta Forces with the US Military entered Venezuela and arrested their leader Nicolas Maduro. Why did America do it? What does it mean for Venezuela and the world? What happens next, and of course, who is running Venezuela?!   Also this week we cover some interesting developments at the Shas-A-Thon, updates on the Iran...

We've been covering anti-Semites on the right and the truth is, it's been dark. BUT! No sooner did it all seem doom and gloom that we find out that we have a new champion to take on Candace Owens! Tune in to find out more about him.   A lot going on with Israel as well, including the Bibi-Trump meetup and press conference, updates on Iran and the deployment (finally!) of Iron Beam.    Check out Ir...

The masks are off. The gaslighting is over. And in an act of incredible bravery, Ben Shapiro dropped a nuke on stage at Turning Point's AmFest. Though it was incredibly brave, we can't help but wonder if this helps the Jewish and Israel cause or hurts it, but we get into all of the details this week.   Included this week are updates from home in the US, Trump's latest and we remind everyone that t...

It's the Festival of Lights, and Jews worldwide celebrate the miracle of the Jews overcoming their oppressors, and of course they do it with lots and lots of FOOD! This week we cover homemade pizza and extreme sufganiot as well Chanukah celebrations around the world.   Also this week, we cover the horrific tragedy in Australia that has left the Jewish world reeling once again, including reactions...

The guys return to the studio this week with Hanukkah gift fails, wizard hat origins, Elon Musk’s maybe-flying Roadster, and the main question of the week: is Tucker really moving to Qatar? One can only pray...   Also this week features Mossad sharks, Candace Owens contradictions, Nick Fuentes delusions, and Trump’s… well, very Trumpy takes. Of course we throw in some drunk raccoons and a noose la...

First it was Trump, and now Bibi himself has requested a pardon from President Herzog. This week we discuss the fairness of the pardon, as well as the optics to the rest of the world.  Also this week we have iPhones in Gaza, Palestinian AI deepfakes, Javier Milei and the Isaac Accords, and the latest conspiracy theories from you-know-who.   On the US front, the Venezuelan situation is getting even...

For years at this point, social media has been alight with the constant stream of would-be self-made Gazan "reporters" providing their propaganda on the situation on the ground and running fundraisers to "help the poor Gazans." But what if it was all, as we suspected fiction?   Also this week we have Trump doing stand-up comedy on multiple fronts, the Trump-Mamdani meeting, updates on the Park Eas...

Like everyone else, we thought we knew everything there was to know about United Hatzalah - at least the major info, so when we sat with Dovi, we didn't expect any earth shattering information. Oh how wrong we were! Learning about how United Hatzalah came to be, how it evolved after October 7th, and even more, how they are now using technology to make UH better than ever totally blew our minds, an...

Just when we thought it couldn't get any weirder (or funnier) we got to see our President perfuming another head of state (Al Sharaa) and writing letters to another sitting President (Herzog) asking for a pardon for yet another head, Bibi. But it's not just with the Middle East - the President has his sites squarely on Venezuela, and their anxiety is beginning to show. Finally, Trump's feud with M...

So the government shutdown is supposedly ending - but not soon enough apparently for our Producer and his travel travails. We catch up this week on the Mamdani win and the fallout as well as the latest ongoing controversies with our favorite anti-Semites. On the Israel front, Hamas are stuck in tunnels, brawls are happening in Bnai Brak and Bibi gets a post January 1st invite to NY.  Lastly, we vi...

Even though this was recorded right before the historic election in NYC, our hosts bring the fun this week with a bet lost, and with Mr. P collecting the debt! Also this week are follow ups on the Tucker Carlson / Nick Fuentes / Ben Shapiro controversy,  some of the recent Trumpisms, and a classic segment on the best way to interact with AI. ________ ** The ultimate raffle - win a GOLD BAR or enti...

So Sliwa didn't drop out, the betting markets are putting a Mamdani win at 85% or more, and all the Jews around the world are thinking: is RFK right, and should we be INCREASING our consumption of foods with saturated fats??   Also this week we follow-up the Gaza Ceasefire, specifically the attacks from Hamas and Israel's retaliation, Hamas terrorists living it up in an Egyptian resort, and fresh...

Like the rest of the Jewish world, the cast was on hiatus for the holidays, and over the past several weeks, there has been so much news, and we're here for all of it. From the Trump/Witkoff Ceasefire, to the hostage releases, to the resulting Hamas re-emergence, these weeks have driven an emotional rollercoaster for Jews everywhere, and our hosts are here to break it all down.   Also in this week...

Yechiel Jacobs shot to stardom from his hysterical takes on the lunacy of the pro-Hamas demonstrators and activists, but there's much more to Yechiel than just those takes. We sat down with Yechiel to talk about his rise to fame, how he deals with the haters, and what we can expect to see from him from here. He's one of the most requested interviewees, and we're excited to bring it to our listener...

As we go move headlong into Season 6 (!) Israel moves headlong into a new peace proposal put forth by the Trump Administration, accepting it immediately while it waits for Hamas to do the same. At the same time, around the world things haven't changed much: another flotilla, more bias from the UN, and New York City inches closer to electing a Socialist Anti-Israel Mayor.   But all is not lost! We...

As the year winds down and we close out the season, we’re delivering a packed finale! From the moving Slichot services at the famed Park East Synagogue to a must-hear PSA on hotels in East Jerusalem, to Israel’s latest incursion into Gaza City, we cover all of the latest in the Jewish World. We also break down the wild conspiracies buzzing around the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Russian drones i...

As episode 204 dropped, the entire country watched in shock horror as Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and influential political figure was shot by a single bullet from a building 200 yards away.   Unfortunately not long after we got word of his passing. You guys asked for our reactions. Here they are. ________ ** Acquire a piece of eternity! Now is the time to reserve a plot on Har Haze...

As we went to press the events of Charlie Kirk's death happened, and we were unable to cover them, but rest assured we will be covering them in the Bonus this week, so make sure to join: https://buymeacoffee.com/kiddushclub/membership   It was a busy week, with a terror attack in Jerusalem, followed by a precision strike inside of Doha, Qatar. Trump seemed to sanction it, then walked it back; we g...

It's Elul once again, and the Jewish people are introspecting, some starting slichos, and of course it's back to school. This week we begin in an unusual place - sports stories! In Israel, another flotilla has an unfortunate turn of events, the IDF takes out some of the most wanted terrorists and we hear from the Israeli Ambassador to the US on the most common sense argument for Israel's response...

The non-stop droning of the News, celebrities, protestors and pundits are claiming that there's a famine in Gaza. Israel and the US disagree. This week we take a look at what the evidence shows. Also in Israel, a hospital is hit accidentally and Israel takes responsibility for it.   In other news, we discuss the pay gap in the WNBA, some new developments in AI, and an interesting NY Post story on...

And with our very own Accent Guy traveling, we bring you this episode via Zoom, but never fear, this episode is packed with news, hock and for the first time ever, we play a trivia game live thanks to TUKnow.org.  In this week's news we cover the Hamas acceptance of the Egyptian cease-fire as well as the latest from Iran. On the US front, Trump met with Putin followed by meetings with Zelensky as...

Sometimes right when it feels like everything isn't going our way, we get these little signs from Above to remind us that He controls the world. This week we hear more about the latest from France vs. Israel, and the retaliation from Above, as well as the other recent Israel news.   In the US, President Trump has federalized the DC police force and has planned to meet with Putin on US soil.
