The Jew Function Podcast

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...

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.

But Jared's got it all, a deep understanding of the dangerous covenant between wokeness and anti-Jewishness, a winning strategy for the future, and a charming smile. He's a real tiger.

Proud Jew. Ozraeli. Executive director Israellycool Israel Advocacy. Middle East analyst. Oh, and did we mention he's the Van Helsing of antisemites? The great thing about David is that he'll be the first to call you out if you go against the Jews but he also has a warm spot in his heart if you are ready to open up, talk things over, and connect.

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...

One would think that woke politics, as terrible as they are, would have a warm spot for Jews, the ultimate minority group and 832-time winners of the gold medal for suffering. But even though Jewish people are often at the inception of liberal, humanistic, and progressive movements, history tells us that they don't turn up too well for Jews. Well, to get an expert to explain this, and how neo-...

With South African history behind her, a keen understanding of antisemitism,  and plenty of media experience, Rolene—who recently moved to Israel—is a tireless advocate for Israel but isn't afraid to go beyond the politics of the issue into the sticky stuff that makes people human.

We interviewed the host of one of the most popular conservative podcasts in the U.S. and asked him about growing up as a poor immigrant from the Middle East, about the country that embraced him, and talked about his thoughts on the dumbing down of the current generation, the sense of extreme polarity that seems to dominate every aspect of life, and what will save the Jews from the rising tide of a...

Why do we need to get scared half to death to make big life changes? More importantly, can we make changes not for fear of death but for love of others? Israel Bitton talks about the motivation for his new book and the golden rules by which Jews need to live in order to change the minds of the antisemites. Israel's digital signature: T: @IsraelBitton T: @AmericansAA - Americans Against Antisem...

Do we believe things are getting better or is this a form of wishful thinking on our part? Did we really do everything in our power to solve antisemitism? Are we willing to admit that perhaps we don't know what people really want from us? Could it be that deep down Jews feel different and that tryin to suppress this feeling will not make our uniqueness go away? Lots of great questions and a de...

With more than 1 million followers on Instagram, over 500,000 on TikTok and an impressive array of media credits and modeling gigs to her name, Austin is perhaps the archetype of Gen Z celebrity.

And although she's using her platform to support human rights struggles of d...

He's often labeled as an anti-semite but we met a guy who is not satisfied with the literal interpretation of the Torah by both Jews and Christians. Frankly, we can't blame him. One of the most well-read guests we've had, consuming everything from the Torah and the Talmud to the New Testament and everything written about those books, Adam Green invited us into his relentless search for...
