In this episode, we’re joined by Jonathan Friedmann, a professor, dean, community leader, and now the co-host of the Amusing Jews podcast from AU Studios. After learning about how the Jewish religion can be distinguished from Jewish culture and tradition, we talk about how the Jewish-American experience led to roles in entertainment and how so much of this culture remains hidden in plain sight in broader American pop culture. We also learn whether a True Amusing Jew can think Seinfeld isn’t funny and if rituals need religion to be maintained.
In the bonus segment, available exclusively for Patreon supporters, we hear some controversial takes on the vexing issue of Jews celebrating Christian holidays as well as (less controversially) Jonathan’s dream guests for Amusing Jews.
