Jewish Folklore (Fighters): Episode 16

Husband and Wife conclude Part II: Heroes:Chapter 3: Fighters & Strong Men, from A Treasury of Jewish Folklore.In this episode of the Sacrilegious Book Club, topics include the notion of Brain over Brawn; hammers and epiphanies; mennorahs and Channukah; double spies and Severus; AND boxers and Houdini.Though we only read one story, it was a lengthy one that fully held our attention and helped us understand the background of a very important Jewish holiday. Next time, we will move to Part 3 and cover some entries from The Human Comedy: Droll Characters. We hope you'll get a copy of the book and read along with us.Join us on DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zKSkip the ads by joining Acast+ https://plus.acast.com/s/6331d364470c7900137bb57dThank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists!Check out these links for more information about our podcast and merchandise:Our Homepage: https://sacrilegiousdiscourse.com/Help support us by subscribing on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sacrilegiousdiscourseSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sacrilegious-discourse-bible-study-for-atheists/donations
