Morning Jew

Comics Katie Halper (@kthalps) and Heather Gold (@heathr) look at the week's headlines and ask: is it good for the Jews? This episode originally posted March 9, 2013. A big Popedate on our fave Pope. The Pope It's Ash Wednesday this week which calls for some serious Jewish investigation. Shout out to Catholics! Many of the ultra- orthodox in Israel have been protesting in huge numbers because they don't want to serve in the military (and it turns out many of them are anti-Zionist so put that mix together. The Shonda of the week is a Florida shocker and the Oscars are lacking in Jews, can you believe it? And in keeping with Jewish tradition, Heather talks about being sick. The Jewesses premiere a new game: How Could You Die? a game that explains Jewish love. We also explain the curse that drives Jewish naming and bring you a special conversation between Woody Allen and Michele Bachman you'll only see on Morning Jew.
