Ep. 268: ‘Entourage’ actress Emmanuelle Chriqui, Orthodox sex therapist Bat Sheva Marcus, and more
This week, we’re filling up on matzo and revealing the final four competitors in our Jewish Names of the Year bracket.
Our first guest is actress Emmanuelle Chriqui, who starred as Sloan in Entourage and Dalia in You Don’t Mess with the Zohan. She tells us about growing up in Canada to Moroccan Jewish parents, her latest TV role, and her involvement with the Black-Jewish Entertainment Alliance.
Then, Orthodox sex therapist Bat Sheva Marcus returns to the show to talk about her new book, Sex Points: Reclaim Your Sex Life with the Revolutionary Multi-point System.
Lastly, Mark spoke with Shuly Rubin Schwartz, the first woman to serve as chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary.
