#TPT - A Zionist, a Jew, and an Israeli walked into a bar...

This rabbi's not joking

It’s our third Twadpockle Thursday (#TPT), with another “link of consequence” to scramble your brain!

(AUDIO) Unregistered 265: Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro

Host Thaddeus Russell is a self-described “red-diaper baby,” meaning his parents were actual communists. He was a far-left history professor until his habit of brain-thinking made him no longer comfortable or welcome among his “peers.” He is also Jewish through his mom, as I am.

Russell now runs “Unregistered Academy” with a companion podcast and book.
