Episode 356: Hanukkah -- a "Bad Jew" Take - Dan and Lex

from Judaism Unbound · host Institute for the Next Jewish Future

Happy Hanukkah! Or as we like to spell it, (c)(h)(x)(j)an(n)(i)(u)k(k)a(h)! We're about 1 week early, but in this episode, Dan and Lex explore Hanukkah in depth, asking how we might deepen our relationship to it if we connected it to frameworks from our recent conversation with Emily Tamkin, about her book Bad Jews. Also, they tie the holiday of Hanukkah to....Jewish weddings? It sounds incoherent, I know, but if you listen, we promise it will all make sense!This Hanukkah, Judaism Unbound is partnering with The Torah Studio on an initiative called Apocry-Fest: Hanukkah Unbound and Un-Canonized!
