Searching for Kurdish Swag

We haven’t spoken since John’s dog ate the afikoman, and we discuss his Omer success and Asher’s Omer challenges. In the meantime, Asher continues his amazing world travels, this time to Kurdistan on an interfaith mission with his Chaldean friends. We discuss that region’s deep connection to Jewish history, including minor prophets like Nachum (John had to Google him). We then discuss Trump’s anti-antisemitism efforts, and our gratitude that adults are finally in the room on college campuses. Asher ends by describing the Wild West way in which new Jewish holidays are established.
