We’re Back Baby!
Sunday, 1 March, 2026
We discuss the attacks on Iran and Asher monitors shabbat events in a halachically permissible manner. John describes whether Congress should declare war formally (last time against Romania?) and Asher gives parallels to Purim. We have AI on our minds as John hopes that it will not replace us. Asher challenges us to consider if we are here “for such a time as this” and encourages us to be tough Jews, not that weakling in the anti-antisemitism commercial. This is a public episode.
