And How Does That Make Jew Feel? (Episode 35)

December 31, 2018 7:44 pm

The Nice Jewish Fangirls return, and this time, they’ve got a professional! Dr. Avigail Gordon joins the NJFs to explore and explain depictions of mental health and therapy in popular culture, from Monk and Frasier, to Batman and Daredevil. What works when exploring mental health in fiction? What really doesn’t? And how can artists do right when exploring mental health in the future?

In this episode, SM, Tamar, Michal, and Avigail also obsess over The Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir, a very millennial movie projector, The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal, and The Power by Naomi Alderman.

It's easy to look at abortion in the abstract, but let's hear the stories of three Orthodox women who made the painful decision to terminate their pregnancies - each in a different circumstance, each for a different reason.

Firing Line with Margaret Hoover@FiringLineShow·

#Republican former New Jersey @GovCTW calls #Trump's @GOP a "cult," and she believes a new, more centrist party could rise up in its place.

"I'm a firm believer that our country does better with two parties, a center-left and the center-right," Whitman tells @MargaretHoover.

The crisis of Orthodox teachers leaving... and not coming back. (And they have good reasons, too.)

"A government that arose through blind hatred, out of evil argument not for the sake of heaven... a cursed government..."

A thread about religious Knesset members and the language they sometimes use against their opponents.
