Summary

This week, in addition to our regular Thursday episode, we’re doing something a bit different. President Trump’s Executive Order on immigration struck us as so troubling, so decidedly antithetical to the Jewish values we hold dear—and such a disappointment given our own paths to this country—that we were moved to respond. On this mini-episode, Liel Leibovitz, Stephanie Butnick, and producer Elissa Goldstein offer brief reflections. Sign up for our weekly newsletter to get new episodes and more. Email us at Unorthodox@tabletmag.com—we'll share our favorite notes on air.

0:32.0	emails or on Twitter or on Facebook
0:33.8	and just having the sense that the many thousands of you who listen regularly are
0:37.8	out there and are there for us and we also really love being there for you. Anyway, the point is it's just it's a really
0:46.1	special kind of communion that I don't think any of us thought would exist when we set out to do this
0:51.1	podcast. So when things go crazy in the world of current events we kind of want to
0:56.7	share them with you. So with the executive order on immigration a few days ago We just all felt like you know we have a scheduled show
1:06.3	coming up next Thursday it's going to be an edit of our live show at the
1:09.6	JCC Manhattan but we don't want that to be the next time you hear from us. We want to do
1:14.7	something in between now and then to say that we're really shaken by this and
1:20.4	we know a lot of you are as well and we wanted just to have our say.
1:24.0	Liel wrote a really beautiful piece about his love for America
