Today’s show is a conversation about Passover, privilege, social justice and so much more. I’m joined on this joint episode by Lucy Gellman of The Kitchen Sync podcast and the Arts Paper of Greater New Haven. We’re two Jews of European descent talking about our complicated relationship to Judaism and the importance of telling the passover liberation story. We also dig into white privilege, the Jewish art of questioning everything, our commitment to transformational social justice and of course, food.
