The Yid and the Shiksa Tzuriel Amster

On today's episode, recorded in India, Saagar Jain and I leave no stone unturned as we begin our discussion on Indian culture and conclude with a bit of compare and contrast between Judaism and Hinduism. Saagar explains how the British reign on India during the 19th and 20th centuries framed the current State and culture, and together we analyze what makes Hinduism distinctly different from the three monotheistic religions. We live across the planet, yet Saagar and I share similar passions and we seem to have more in common than I could have imagined. Join us! 

On today's episode Gal Porat and I take a ride discussing the perspectives of Jews living in the states versus the Jews (or Israelis) living in Israel. Together we explore how our nationalities affect our Judaism, as well as some of the ways our Jewish expression can be unique to the countries we live in. Join us!

On this episode Victoria Lozano and I discuss our very different but similarly challenging paths from young adulthood to our current careers. Some of us have our whole lives planned out since our Junior year in high school, others are still trying to find that meaningful balance of work and passion, and most of us are somewhere in the middle. Join Victoria and I as we share our stories; from the hallows of the Yeshiva walls to the beaches of dirty Myrtle. 

Who is the Yid? What is a Shiksa? I'm the Yid, (Jew), and each episode I'll have another guest (the Shiksas) join me as I discuss various topics across religions, traditions, and culture. In this episode I will explain a little bit about myself, my background, the name of the podcast, and what it's all about. Laugh with me!
