Jew in the House

What’s this Asarah B’Tevet fast all about? We then swing on the pendulum between sorrow and joy at the hostage exchange. John’s representative, Brad Schneider (D-IL), discusses being a Jewish congressman these days. We trade notes on the Inauguration, our modern hakhel ceremony. John encourages Asher to be more like Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, and Asher hopes his interfaith colleagues are less like the cancelled Imam. We end by imagining Trump Tower in Gaza City.
