Description
Allison, Don and Noah discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Repealing Godwin’s Law: How Do We Know When That “Again” We Never Want to See Has Arrived? We ask whether we owe it to our ancestors who were swallowed by the Holocaust to decry Trump, Bannon, et. al., as shoving us down the slippery slope into the territory of Never-Again, or whether we owe it to them to not besmirch their tragedy by comparing it to the world’s present political woes. Rabbinic Baskets of Deplorables & Baskets of Rabbinic Deplorables We reflect on how to respond to the most recent Rabbi on the government payroll to unleash inane bigotries in an interview, once we admit that the guy’s done some admirable things alongside this icky one. Post-Mortem & Pre-Natal We discuss our mixed feelings over the court’s decision to allow the parents of a dead naval officer to use his sperm and a surrogate to create a kid whom they will raise as their own child, though he would be their biological grandchild.
