Ashamed to Admit

In their last episode for season two, Dash and Tami chat with actor and comedian Josh Glanc about … so many things, including: leaving law behind to pursue a career in entertainment, the unbreakable intergenerational umbilical cord, flipped stereotypes in Australian Jewish schools, wanting to make everyone proud and an anti-Jewish heckler. Relevant articles: https://thejewishindependent.com.au/my-mother-is-german-jewish-and-my-father-is-arab-israeli-which-makes-me-sri-lankanhttps://thejewishindependent.com.au/are-year-10-students-too-young-to-visit-auschwitzhttps://thejewishindependent.com.au/an-earnest-attempt-at-communal-healingIf you liked this episode you’ll probably like:‘Paranoid and Petty’ with John Safran: https://ashamedtoadmit.buzzsprout.com/2345229/episodes/15965511-episode-21-paranoid-and-petty-with-john-safran‘Ashamed of Nothing’ with David Baddiel: https://ashamedtoadmit.buzzsprout.com/2345229/episodes/15609221-episode-13-ashamed-of-nothing-with-david-baddielEmail your feedback and voice memos here: [email protected] to The Jewish Independent's bi-weekly newsletter: jewishindependent.com.auTami and Dash on Instagram: tami_sussman_writer_celebrant and dashiel_and_pascoeX: TJI_auYouTube: thejewishindependentAUFacebook: TheJewishIndependentAUInstagram: thejewishindependentLinkedIn: the-jewish-independent

In this episode, your favourite ‘girl, interrupted’ chats to her favourite ‘girl, in finance’ Gaby Rosenberg from Blossom. Gaby talks about her (and her sister Ali’s) journey to becoming co-founders of a startup and explains some basic investment terms. Tami spontaneously cries like she did in primary school maths and they both open up about the pressures of having financial security as adults. Plus Dash reveals something he’s ashamed to admit and it has nothing to do with a bidet. Relevant articles: https://thejewishindependent.com.au/how-could-it-happen-herehttps://thejewishindependent.com.au/we-so-need-more-jewish-characters-who-arent-richhttps://thejewishindependent.com.au/a-new-path-forward-for-homeless-australian-jewish-youthListen to our episode: Are all Australian Jews Rich? https://ashamedtoadmit.buzzsprout.com/2345229/episodes/15057407-episode-7-are-all-australian-jews-rich-no-do-you-have-a-hot-ancestor-yes-plus-a-giveawayEmail your feedback and voice memos here: [email protected] to The Jewish Independent's bi-weekly newsletter: jewishindependent.com.auTami and Dash on Instagram: tami_sussman_writer_celebrant and dashiel_and_pascoeX: TJI_auYouTube: thejewishindependentAUFacebook: TheJewishIndependentAUInstagram: thejewishindependentLinkedIn: the-jewish-independent

With women's reproductive rights in the United States looking more precarious in the wake of the Trump re-election, Tami and Dash explore Orthodoxy's stance on abortion, family planning, and IVF. Who better to turn to than Melbourne lawyer, Orthodox feminist, an ordained rabbi and mother of four (and soon to be five) Nomi Kaltmann. In this episode, Nomi introduces us to two seminal rabbinic figures Rav Moshe Feinstein and Rabbi Eliezer Waldenberg, and she takes us on a journey through the intersection of Jewish law, modern technology, and women’s autonomy. In doing so, Nomi challenges cultural taboos and reveals the surprisingly nuanced and pragmatic approaches that Orthodoxy and the law in Israel has taken to reproduction. Relevant articles:https://thejewishindependent.com.au/orthodox-law-sends-surprising-messages-about-reproductive-rightshttps://thejewishindependent.com.au/kosher-ivf-how-orthodox-couples-manage-fertility-treatmenthttps://thejewishindependent.com.au/my-path-to-becoming-an-orthodox-woman-rabbiEmail your feedback and voice memos here: [email protected] to The Jewish Independent's bi-weekly newsletter: jewishindependent.com.auTami and Dash on Instagram: tami_sussman_writer_celebrant and dashiel_and_pascoeX: TJI_auYouTube: thejewishindependentAUFacebook: TheJewishIndependentAUInstagram: thejewishindependentLinkedIn: the-jewish-independent

For too long, the stories and culture of Mizrahi Jews – Jews from the Middle East, North Africa and Asia – have been unrecognised and unrepresented in Australia's Jewish community. Yet Mizrahi music, food, and culture have enriched Jewish traditions and cultural life for generations, weaving vibrant threads into the tapestry of Jewish identity – in Israel, Australia and Jewish communities worldwide.  In a Mizrahi Heritage Month special, Tami and Dash meet Shai Shriki, a Jewish-Moroccan musician born in Israel who lives in the Northern Rivers of NSW, playing music and crafting the traditional instruments of his Mizrahi ancestors. Relevant articles:https://thejewishindependent.com.au/mizrahi-jews-just-want-a-place-in-the-greater-narrative-of-our-tribehttps://thejewishindependent.com.au/a-muslim-country-that-honours-its-jewish-heritagehttps://thejewishindependent.com.au/a-new-incarnation-of-the-fake-jew-furphyEmail your feedback and voice memos here: [email protected] to The Jewish Independent's bi-weekly newsletter: jewishindependent.com.auTami and Dash on Instagram: tami_sussman_writer_celebrant and dashiel_and_pascoeX: TJI_auYouTube: thejewishindependentAUFacebook: TheJewishIndependentAUInstagram: thejewishindependentLinkedIn: the-jewish-independent
