Hey J crew, this is Mark. I'm here to wish you a happy Hanukkah, but also to send you a special little mini-sewed between our regular

episodes. You may remember that last April I wrote a piece for the New York Times on whether you can use the word Jew as a noun like hey what are you I'm a Jew we tend to say Jew is the adjective anyway

Brooke Gladstone of WNYC's on the media invited me onto her podcast to talk about the use of that

word. Well flash forward about six months, eight months and Kalea Moore the

wife of Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore has that great line in which she

defends her husband against charges of anti-Semitism by saying one of our

attorneys is a Jew and all of us kind of cringed. Well, Brooke Ladsden invited me back on on the media to talk about that.

And this episode was even better because not only did we cover some of the old round and play snippets of the last time I was on on the media but we

also talked about the proper spelling of Hanukkah and we listened to some music from hip-hop

artists rapping about their Jew lawyers and then we heard some Pete Seeger doing Hanukah Oh Hanukah in Yiddesh.

Hanukahoy Hanukh Hanukhah. Anyway, it's a terrific episode. It's a bonus for you.

Have a listen and I'll be back at the end with a few more things to tell you in this Hanukkah season. The bitterly divisive Alabama election is over and amid multiple allegations of

sexual assault and an appalling record on racism and anti-Semitism, Roy Moore nearly won.

But he didn't.

In a campaign rally on Monday night,

Kayle Moore came to her husband's defense

in a memorable way.

Fake news would tell you that we don't care for Jews.

I just want to set the record straight while they're here.

One of our attorneys is a Jew.

We had very close friends that are Jewish and rabbis and we also fellowship with them.

We'll return to the Kaylemore momentore moment, but first if the way she said

...
