On episode #134 of the “(Is It) Good for the Jews” podcast: Rosen and Goldbrener begin with a series of rants followed by a lesson in urban civics, before delving into the deeper meanings of Purim and Purim — some including beatboxing! — scheduled for this year. Then: bomb threats — what do they actually mean? And: Dome unabashedly positive flag-waving for the Israeli baseball team’s ongoing World Baseball Classic success.
Finally, they ask:
