Sylvia and Simon Jacobson: How Different Generations Talk About Jewish Life [Divergence 1/6]

JL;DR SUMMARY Sylvia and Simon Jacobson engage in a profound discussion on the intergenerational continuity of Jewish life through the lens of the Chabad movement. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
