Secular Schools, Jewish Kids

from edJEWcation · host edJEWcation

We’re back — and we’ve got feelings. Well, one of us does. Right out the gate, the Rabbi had to get something off his chest. Apparently, he’s been “dumped.” And by that, he means he wasn’t in a couple of episodes. (No actual dumping occurred. No hearts were broken. Unless you count his.)So, naturally, we spent the first few minutes of this week’s episode addressing The Great Podcast Snub of 2025.To paraphrase: Without me, it’s just not the same, he said. And according to a definitely real and not made-up person on the street, the show without him was teetering on — brace yourself — boring. 😱Don’t worry, folks. The Rabbi’s back, his ego has been gently re-inflated, and we’re stronger than ever.The rest of the episode followed suit and went, well, somewhere. Including discussions around:Campus Protests and AntisemitismThe Role of Jewish Identity in EducationDivisions Within the Jewish CommunityThe Importance of Jewish EducationChallenges in Secular EducationNavigating Jewish Identity in Secular SpacesDefining Hillel's MissionThe Role of Activism in Jewish HistoryThe Rabbi’s Meeting with Meir KahaneThe Controversy of Power in Jewish IdentityThe Reality of Antisemitism TodayThe Future of Jewish Identity and Israel
