Ask a Jew

James Kirchick is a journalist and author of the NY Times bestseller "Secret City: The Hidden History of Gay Washington".

Follow Jamie on Twitter, read his excellent latest piece in the Atlantic about the importance of protecting free speech, and of course his exclusive interview with Armie Hammer.

Don't forget to join us on Substack for a discussion, plus next week will post some photos from Yael's recent visit to Kibbutz Kfar Aza that was attacked on Oct 7. You can comment there, it's a nice place to vent and connect with other likeminded people (Substack, not the Kibbutz).

You can also support us by giving us a 5 star review and comment on Apple Podcasts, it helps us grow and reach more people! And send your questions to [e-mail]
