Hey, J crew, this is Mark Oppenheimer from on Orthodox. A little bonus feature right now.

A few weeks ago I wrote a piece for the New York Times Sunday review about the word Jew versus the word Jewish.

Like you notice how people will say, oh a nice Jewish family moved in next door rather than some nice Jews moved in next door.

Or, oh my daughter's dating a nice Jewish boy but not she's dating a Jew which again

sounds a little off anyway so a little bonus feature for you the J crew this is me a few weeks

ago on WNYC's on the media being interviewed by Brooke

Gladstone talking about my New York Times piece called Reclaiming Jew.

Have a listen. Are you a little bit sad because you've done Jew-S and

now you've done Jew?

Joo. I'm moving on to Hebrew and yid and let me turn.

And like is shei's or something we can say?

Sheini?

We're going to go sheini? Jew is the funny word because it is because Jew is the only word that is the polite

thing to call a group of people and the slur for the same group. That's Louis

CK on a word that can be a semantic sand trap.

Writing in the New York Times last weekend, Mark Oppenheimer argues that the word has accumulated

so many dodgy associations across the centuries that Jews, non- Jews and politicians

avoid it altogether.

Speaking at the U.S. Capitol in D.C. at the Holocaust Memorial Museum's Day of Remembrance Ceremony

on Tuesday, Trump said Jewish 11 times, but Jew only twice.

We've seen anti-Semitism on university campuses

in the public square and in threats against Jewish citizens.
