JL;DR SUMMARY Allison Kaplan Sommer, Don Futterman, and Noah Efron discuss the growing popularity of a former follower of Rabbi Meir Kahane, the reasons behind the mass exodus of leaders from Israel's Meretz party, and the potential influence of video marriage in Utah on Israel's wedding traditions.

• This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
• Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
• 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'.
