Steve discusses homeland, holocaust, and humanity in the first half of the show with Americanish podcast hosts Adela Cojab & Mariam Wahba, learning about their experiences finding friendship with each other. Both women are from the Middle East: Mariam is a Coptic Christian and Adela a Syrian Jew; both are working to foreground faith in America.
In the second half of the show, Steve chats with his dear friend Asker Ashkenazi, who discusses the Israeli high school tradition of a field trip to Auschwitz. When these field trips were canceled during the global COVID-19 shutdowns, Asher made sure to take his son on his own.
