episode 4: The “Love, Death and AOC” Edition
Allison Kaplan Sommer, Don Futterman and Noah Efron discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.
—Who Shall Live—
As Israel’s hospitals are overwhelmed with Covid patients, how do doctors decide who gets a ventilator and who doesn’t?
—AOC, AOC, Won’t You Fight for Me?—
Is AOC not that into us?
—Make Me a Match—
Why is matchmaking becoming a thing for (secular) Israelis?
—Our First Lousy, Temporary Homes in Israel—
For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion, ahead of Sukkot, the only holiday of the Jewish year that valorizes lousy, temporary housing, we reminisce about some of our first lousy, temporary homes here in Israel.
All that and the happy music of Amir ve Ben!
