Purim, Seriously (Episode 37)

March 20, 2019 11:28 am

It’s almost time for Purim, and this year, the Nice Jewish Fangirls are considering a slightly more serious side of the holiday. Michal and SM are joined by rabbi, author, and certified nerd MaNishtana to break down the issues of cultural appropriation and Blackface that often occur on Purim. Why is it so hurtful? How do fictional stories deal with appropriation and Blackface, and what does that teach us? And how do this misguided costumes completely contradict the joyfulness and generosity that define Purim?

The Fangirls and MaNishtana also share their obsessions over new trailers for Avengers: Endgame and Aladdin, and the Netflix series Travelers and The Dragon Prince… and come to the dawning realization that literally everything is now Disney (except Star Trek.)

CCR is just fantastic. 54 years ago today and it more than holds up.

I never stop being amazed that 25 years ago, Ramat Beit Shemesh didn't exist. Today it goes on and on and on; RBS A alone has over 100 synagogues - and there's also RBS B,C, D, and E - with more on the way.

I witness the Ingathering of the Exiles every time I walk outside.

Smotrich is a fool who speaks like a teenager, but this is rich coming from Jordan, where selling land to Jews is illegal and was punishable by death up to 1995.
