  • The Passover Haggadah: The Book for the People of the Book

    The Passover Haggadah: The Book for the People of the Book
    Mar 31 2026
    The Haggadah is the most widely read Jewish book in the world, and yet it was never supposed to be a book at all. Yael takes Schwab through its surprising history: how an oral commandment became rabbinic debate, evolved into illuminated medieval manuscripts, and ended up as 60 million free copies tucked inside a can of Maxwell House coffee.

  • Albert Einstein: Was He a Zionist? (Part 2)

    Albert Einstein: Was He a Zionist? (Part 2)
    Mar 26 2026
    Jonathan Schwab and Yael Steiner tackle one of Jewish history's most debated questions: was Albert Einstein a Zionist? From Nazi Germany naming him public enemy number one to eventually being offered the presidency of Israel, Schwab traces Einstein's complicated, lifelong relationship with Zionism. And they explore a question the Nazis first raised as an attack: was Einstein's science somehow Jewish? Check your feed next Tuesday for a special Jewish History Nerds just in time for Passover.

  • Albert Einstein: Rebel. Reject. Genius. (Part 1)

    Albert Einstein: Rebel. Reject. Genius. (Part 1)
    Mar 19 2026
    Before Albert Einstein became the wild-haired icon who changed how we understand the universe, he was a struggling patent clerk with a rejected dissertation, no job prospects, and a messy personal life. But he had time to spare and a mind that wouldn't stop. In this first episode of a two-part series, Jonathan Schwab takes Yael Steiner through the Einstein you don't know: a contrarian Jewish outsider whose ideas would reshape our understanding of time, space, and reality itself. Next week: The series continues with Part 2 — Einstein's Jewish identity, his complicated relationship with Zionism, and the question the Nazis asked loudly: was his science Jewish?
