Coronation Cholent
Ep. 368: Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis; The Best Advice Show host Zak Rosen; exploring the archive of the National Library of Israel
This week on Unorthodox, we’re looking for the recipe for Coronation Cholent.
Our Jew of the week is Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis. He joins us to talk about life as chief rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations, what it was like to spend the night at St. James’s Palace when King Charles’ coronation fell over Shabbat, and why he’s so dedicated to interfaith work.
Our second Jew of the week is Zak Rosen. He hosts the podcast The Best Advice Show and co-hosts Slate’s parenting podcast, Mom and Dad Are Fighting. He joins us to share some of the unconventional advice he’s received.
We’re also bringing you our latest installment from The Archive, our series exploring the collections of the National Library of Israel. This week, we learn about Gandhi’s surprising letter to Hitler, and his correspondence with the Jews of Bombay.
We love to hear from you! Send us emails at [email protected], or leave a voicemail at our listener line: (914) 570-4869.
