Recipe for Change: Standing Up to Antisemitism with Idina Menzel, Ilana Glazer & Moshe Kasher

In this special episode of "Recipe for Change," hosts Idina Menzel, Ilana Glazer, and Moshe Kasher bring together a diverse group of Jewish creators, leaders, and allies for three distinct Shabbat dinners. Over delicious meals prepared by esteemed chefs Nancy Silverton, Einat Admony, and culinary historian Michael Twitty, the guests engage in deep, vulnerable conversations about Jewish identity, culture, and heritage.

The discussion tackles the painful reality of rising antisemitism in America and across the globe. Guests share personal experiences of facing prejudice, discuss the historical roots of common stereotypes, and explore the complexities of Jewish identity—including how it intersects with race, privilege, and other marginalized identities.

Despite the heavy topics, the dinners also serve as a vibrant celebration of Jewish resilience, joy, and community. From the significance of Shabbat to the power of allyship and the legacy of civil rights activism, the episode highlights the enduring strength of Jewish pride and the collective hope for a more inclusive world.

Key takeaways

• Jewish identity is multifaceted, encompassing religion, ethnicity, and culture, with diverse expressions across Ashkenazi, Mizrahi, and Persian traditions.
• Antisemitism is on the rise globally, manifesting in both overt violence and subtle, systemic stereotypes that guests have personally experienced.
• The intersection of Jewish identity with other marginalized experiences, such as being Black, queer, or transgender, highlights the need for inclusive spaces within the Jewish community.
• Historical stereotypes, such as those surrounding wealth and power, have deep roots in historical restrictions but continue to fuel modern conspiracy theories.
• Allyship and solidarity among different marginalized groups are crucial in the collective fight against bigotry and hatred.
• The tradition of Shabbat offers a powerful weekly sanctuary for rest, reflection, and cultural preservation that has sustained the Jewish people throughout history.

00:00:09.775 --> 00:00:14.747
Man:<00:00:09.776> Brazen<00:00:09.777> brutality.<00:00:09.778> People<00:00:09.779> attacked<00:00:09.780> in<00:00:09.781> the<00:00:09.782> streets.

00:00:14.747 --> 00:00:20.553
There's<00:00:14.748> been<00:00:14.749> a<00:00:14.750> rise<00:00:14.751> in<00:00:14.752> violence<00:00:14.753> against<00:00:14.754> Jews,<00:00:14.755> and<00:00:14.756> it<00:00:14.757> makes<00:00:14.758> me<00:00:14.759> scared.

00:00:20.553 --> 00:00:23.556
Just<00:00:20.554> really<00:00:20.555> vile<00:00:20.556> speech<00:00:20.557> towards<00:00:20.558> myself,

00:00:23.556 --> 00:00:26.392

00:00:26.392 --> 00:00:32.532
I'm<00:00:26.590> angry<00:00:26.789> because<00:00:26.987> this<00:00:27.185> should<00:00:27.384> not<00:00:27.582> take<00:00:27.780> place<00:00:27.979> against<00:00:28.177> my<00:00:28.375> brothers<00:00:28.574> and<00:00:28.772> sisters<00:00:28.970> simply<00:00:29.169> because<00:00:29.367> of<00:00:29.565> their<00:00:29.764> Jewish<00:00:29.962> faith.

00:00:32.532 --> 00:00:36.302
Somebody<00:00:32.533> carved<00:00:32.534> on<00:00:32.535> my<00:00:32.536> table<00:00:32.537> a<00:00:32.538> swastika.

00:00:36.302 --> 00:00:44.243
Anti-Semitism<00:00:36.511> is<00:00:36.721> on<00:00:36.930> the<00:00:37.139> rise<00:00:37.348> in<00:00:37.558> America.<00:00:37.767> Jews<00:00:37.976> will<00:00:38.185> not<00:00:38.395> replace<00:00:38.604> us!

00:00:44.243 --> 00:00:46.812
We<00:00:44.244> don't<00:00:44.245> look<00:00:44.246> one<00:00:44.247> way,<00:00:44.248> we<00:00:44.249> don't<00:00:44.250> speak<00:00:44.251> one<00:00:44.252> way,

00:00:46.812 --> 00:00:49.582
but<00:00:46.813> we<00:00:46.814> have<00:00:46.815> a<00:00:46.816> common<00:00:46.817> heart<00:00:46.818> and<00:00:46.819> a<00:00:46.820> common<00:00:46.821> journey.

00:00:49.582 --> 00:00:52.218
I<00:00:49.583> think<00:00:49.584> it's<00:00:49.585> really<00:00:49.586> painful,<00:00:49.587> and<00:00:49.588> I<00:00:49.589> think<00:00:49.590> we<00:00:49.591> have<00:00:49.592> to

00:00:52.218 --> 00:00:58.958
have<00:00:52.344> a<00:00:52.471> kind<00:00:52.597> of<00:00:52.724> Jewish<00:00:52.850> pride<00:00:52.977> about<00:00:53.103> who<00:00:53.229> we<00:00:53.356> are<00:00:53.482> and<00:00:53.609> about<00:00:53.735> where<00:00:53.861> we've<00:00:53.988> come<00:00:54.114> from,<00:00:54.241> about<00:00:54.367> what<00:00:54.494> we've<00:00:54.620> achieved.

00:00:58.958 --> 00:01:01.761
I'm<00:00:58.959> proud<00:00:58.960> of<00:00:58.961> the<00:00:58.962> fact<00:00:58.963> that<00:00:58.964> Jews<00:00:58.965> have<00:00:58.966> survived.

00:01:01.761 --> 00:01:06.732
I<00:01:01.762> think<00:01:01.763> for<00:01:01.764> me<00:01:01.765> it's<00:01:01.766> the<00:01:01.767> fact<00:01:01.768> that<00:01:01.769> we<00:01:01.770> can<00:01:01.771> claim<00:01:01.772> Paul<00:01:01.773> Newman.

and<00:08:14.861> our<00:08:14.862> customs<00:08:14.863> became<00:08:14.864> this<00:08:14.865> thing<00:08:14.866> that<00:08:14.867> we<00:08:14.868> could<00:08:14.869> carry<00:08:14.870> in<00:08:14.871> a<00:08:14.872> briefcase,

00:08:18.163 --> 00:08:21.767
because<00:08:18.316> we<00:08:18.469> were<00:08:18.622> constantly<00:08:18.775> under<00:08:18.928> attack<00:08:19.081> either<00:08:19.234> by<00:08:19.387> the<00:08:19.540> Romans<00:08:19.693> or<00:08:19.846> the<00:08:19.999> Byzantines.

00:08:21.767 --> 00:08:24.703
And<00:08:21.768> you<00:08:21.769> name<00:08:21.770> it,<00:08:21.771> they<00:08:21.772> wanted<00:08:21.773> us<00:08:21.774> out.

00:08:24.703 --> 00:08:28.307
And<00:08:24.704> Judaism<00:08:24.705> became<00:08:24.706> the<00:08:24.707> religious<00:08:24.708> side<00:08:24.709> of<00:08:24.710> it,<00:08:24.711> but<00:08:24.712> we<00:08:24.713> were<00:08:24.714> Judean<00:08:24.715> people

this<00:08:32.278> bug-out<00:08:32.279> kit<00:08:32.280> of,<00:08:32.281> like,<00:08:32.282> when<00:08:32.283> shit<00:08:32.284> gets<00:08:32.285> real

00:08:35.214 --> 00:08:39.118
whatever<00:08:35.295> we<00:08:35.377> go<00:08:35.458> and<00:08:35.539> spread<00:08:35.621> out<00:08:35.702> to,<00:08:35.783> we'll<00:08:35.865> always<00:08:35.946> be<00:08:36.027> able<00:08:36.108> to<00:08:36.190> hold<00:08:36.271> on<00:08:36.352> to<00:08:36.434> our<00:08:36.515> customs.

00:08:39.118 --> 00:08:43.322
It's<00:08:39.261> like<00:08:39.403> cultural<00:08:39.546> go-bag.<00:08:39.688> -<00:08:39.831> Yeah.<00:08:39.973> -<00:08:40.116> I<00:08:40.258> have<00:08:40.401> to<00:08:40.543> come<00:08:40.686> clean.

00:08:43.322 --> 00:08:46.191
So<00:08:43.323> my<00:08:43.324> real<00:08:43.325> spelling<00:08:43.326> of<00:08:43.327> my<00:08:43.328> name<00:08:43.329> is<00:08:43.330> M-E-N-T-Z-E-L,

00:08:46.191 --> 00:08:52.932
which<00:08:46.378> everyone<00:08:46.564> would<00:08:46.751> say<00:08:46.938> "Ment-zel."<00:08:47.124> And<00:08:47.311> I<00:08:47.497> had<00:08:47.684> a<00:08:47.871> lot<00:08:48.057> of<00:08:48.244> self-hatred<00:08:48.431> about<00:08:48.617> that<00:08:48.804> for<00:08:48.990> some<00:08:49.177> reason,<00:08:49.364> -<00:08:49.550> and<00:08:49.737> then<00:08:49.924> wanted<00:08:50.110> this<00:08:50.297> cool<00:08:50.483> sounding--<00:08:50.670> -<00:08:50.857> I<00:08:51.043> get<00:08:51.230> it.

00:08:52.932 --> 00:08:56.435
So<00:08:52.933> I<00:08:52.934> took<00:08:52.935> the<00:08:52.936> "T"<00:08:52.937> out,<00:08:52.938> which<00:08:52.939> didn't<00:08:52.940> help<00:08:52.941> anybody<00:08:52.942> say<00:08:52.943> it,<00:08:52.944> right?

00:08:56.435 --> 00:08:59.104
Mm-hmm.

00:08:59.104 --> 00:09:03.175
Being<00:08:59.105> Jewish<00:08:59.106> in<00:08:59.107> this<00:08:59.108> business<00:08:59.109> has<00:08:59.110> been<00:08:59.111> sort<00:08:59.112> of<00:08:59.113> a<00:08:59.114> double-edged<00:08:59.115> sword.

00:09:03.175 --> 00:09:09.081
It's<00:09:03.282> definitely<00:09:03.390> gotten<00:09:03.498> me<00:09:03.605> some<00:09:03.713> great<00:09:03.820> parts,<00:09:03.928> but<00:09:04.035> I've<00:09:04.142> definitely<00:09:04.250> gotten,<00:09:04.358> "Eh,<00:09:04.465> we're<00:09:04.573> just<00:09:04.680> going<00:09:04.788> to<00:09:04.895> go<00:09:05.003> more<00:09:05.110> all-American."

00:09:09.081 --> 00:09:13.218
-<00:09:09.202> And<00:09:09.324> I'm,<00:09:09.445> like,<00:09:09.566> "Hm."<00:09:09.688> -<00:09:09.809> Right.<00:09:09.931> "You<00:09:10.052> know<00:09:10.173> I'm<00:09:10.295> from<00:09:10.416> Omaha?"

00:09:13.218 --> 00:09:15.721
I<00:09:13.219> don't<00:09:13.220> know<00:09:13.221> if<00:09:13.222> it<00:09:13.223> gets<00:09:13.224> more<00:09:13.225> all-American<00:09:13.226> than<00:09:13.227> that.

00:09:15.721 --> 00:09:20.159
Here's<00:09:15.722> a<00:09:15.723> question.<00:09:15.724> When<00:09:15.725> you<00:09:15.726> get<00:09:15.727> to<00:09:15.728> fill<00:09:15.729> out<00:09:15.730> what<00:09:15.731> ethnicity<00:09:15.732> you<00:09:15.733> are,

00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:25.330

00:09:25.330 --> 00:09:31.470
I<00:09:25.479> reject<00:09:25.628> it<00:09:25.776> and<00:09:25.925> I<00:09:26.074> say<00:09:26.223> other,<00:09:26.372> because<00:09:26.520> I<00:09:26.669> don't<00:09:26.818> want<00:09:26.967> to<00:09:27.116> be<00:09:27.264> labeled,<00:09:27.413> and<00:09:27.562> I<00:09:27.711> also<00:09:27.859> don't<00:09:28.008> feel<00:09:28.157> like<00:09:28.306> I'm<00:09:28.455> just<00:09:28.603> white,<00:09:28.752> you<00:09:28.901> know?

00:09:31.470 --> 00:09:39.178
Well,<00:09:31.634> I<00:09:31.797> think<00:09:31.961> that<00:09:32.124> you're<00:09:32.288> right.<00:09:32.451> It<00:09:32.615> depends<00:09:32.778> on<00:09:32.942> whose<00:09:33.105> company<00:09:33.269> you're<00:09:33.432> in.<00:09:33.596> If<00:09:33.759> it's<00:09:33.923> a<00:09:34.086> medical<00:09:34.250> form,<00:09:34.413> I<00:09:34.577> would<00:09:34.740> put<00:09:34.904> Jewish<00:09:35.067> because<00:09:35.231> it<00:09:35.394> matters<00:09:35.558> in<00:09:35.721> terms<00:09:35.885> of<00:09:36.048> your<00:09:36.212> medical<00:09:36.375> history.

00:09:39.178 --> 00:09:41.747

00:09:41.747 --> 00:09:47.753
I<00:09:41.839> would<00:09:41.930> think<00:09:42.022> twice<00:09:42.114> about<00:09:42.206> it.<00:09:42.298> -<00:09:42.389> And<00:09:42.481> I<00:09:42.573> hate<00:09:42.665> to<00:09:42.756> say<00:09:42.848> that,<00:09:42.940> but<00:09:43.031> that's<00:09:43.123> the<00:09:43.215> reality.<00:09:43.307> -<00:09:43.399> Are<00:09:43.490> Jews<00:09:43.582> white?

00:09:47.753 --> 00:09:50.389
What<00:09:47.754> does<00:09:47.755> it<00:09:47.756> mean<00:09:47.757> when<00:09:47.758> people<00:09:47.759> say<00:09:47.760> Jews<00:09:47.761> are<00:09:47.762> or<00:09:47.763> are<00:09:47.764> not<00:09:47.765> white?

00:09:50.389 --> 00:09:55.394

the<00:10:16.282> social<00:10:16.283> construct<00:10:16.284> that<00:10:16.285> we're<00:10:16.286> locked<00:10:16.287> into

00:10:24.289 --> 00:10:28.293
But<00:10:24.469> we<00:10:24.649> Jews,<00:10:24.830> we're<00:10:25.010> complicated,<00:10:25.190> and<00:10:25.370> we<00:10:25.550> don't<00:10:25.731> exactly<00:10:25.911> fit<00:10:26.091> that.

00:10:28.293 --> 00:10:33.999
Again,<00:10:28.450> some<00:10:28.606> Jews<00:10:28.763> don't<00:10:28.919> present<00:10:29.076> as<00:10:29.233> white.<00:10:29.389> And<00:10:29.546> even<00:10:29.703> if<00:10:29.859> we<00:10:30.016> present<00:10:30.172> as<00:10:30.329> white,

00:11:34.493 --> 00:11:38.363
just<00:11:34.494> ask<00:11:34.495> somebody<00:11:34.496> that<00:11:34.497> really,<00:11:34.498> really,<00:11:34.499> really,<00:11:34.500> really,<00:11:34.501> really<00:11:34.502> likes<00:11:34.503> white<00:11:34.504> people,

00:11:42.501 --> 00:11:45.270
and<00:11:42.502> we're<00:11:42.503> also<00:11:42.504> the<00:11:42.505> anti-white.<00:11:42.506> That's<00:11:42.507> really<00:11:42.508> what<00:11:42.509> it<00:11:42.510> is.

00:11:45.270 --> 00:11:48.273
And<00:11:45.271> so<00:11:45.272> you<00:11:45.273> can<00:11:45.274> benefit<00:11:45.275> from<00:11:45.276> white<00:11:45.277> privilege<00:11:45.278> and<00:11:45.279> you<00:11:45.280> can<00:11:45.281> also<00:11:45.282> be<00:11:45.283> afraid

00:11:48.273 --> 00:11:51.543
that<00:11:48.274> your<00:11:48.275> synagogue<00:11:48.276> is<00:11:48.277> going<00:11:48.278> to<00:11:48.279> get<00:11:48.280> bombed.

00:11:51.543 --> 00:11:54.379
From<00:11:51.544> my<00:11:51.545> perspective,<00:11:51.546> like,<00:11:51.547> the<00:11:51.548> conversation<00:11:51.549> is<00:11:51.550> always<00:11:51.551> are<00:11:51.552> Jews<00:11:51.553> white?

00:11:54.379 --> 00:11:57.015
All<00:11:54.380> they're<00:11:54.381> ever<00:11:54.382> doing<00:11:54.383> is<00:11:54.384> looking<00:11:54.385> at<00:11:54.386> Ashkenazi<00:11:54.387> Jews.

00:11:57.015 --> 00:12:01.486
And<00:11:57.180> they're<00:11:57.344> ignoring<00:11:57.509> this<00:11:57.673> huge<00:11:57.838> section<00:11:58.002> of<00:11:58.167> Judaism<00:11:58.331> which<00:11:58.496> is,<00:11:58.660> like,<00:11:58.825> the<00:11:58.989> answer<00:11:59.154> is<00:11:59.318> no.

00:12:01.486 --> 00:12:06.391
For<00:12:01.487> me,<00:12:01.488> I<00:12:01.489> have<00:12:01.490> multiple<00:12:01.491> identities,<00:12:01.492> multiple<00:12:01.493> ethnicities.

00:12:06.391 --> 00:12:09.928
My<00:12:06.392> Jewish<00:12:06.393> identity<00:12:06.394> is<00:12:06.395> so<00:12:06.396> linked<00:12:06.397> to<00:12:06.398> being<00:12:06.399> Iranian.

00:12:09.928 --> 00:12:12.865
I<00:12:09.929> eat<00:12:09.930> Jewish<00:12:09.931> food<00:12:09.932> that<00:12:09.933> is<00:12:09.934> specifically<00:12:09.935> Iranian<00:12:09.936> and<00:12:09.937> Jewish,<00:12:09.938> right?

00:12:12.865 --> 00:12:16.034
Like,<00:12:12.866> I<00:12:12.867> pray<00:12:12.868> in<00:12:12.869> a<00:12:12.870> way<00:12:12.871> that's<00:12:12.872> specifically<00:12:12.873> Iranian<00:12:12.874> and<00:12:12.875> Jewish.

00:12:16.034 --> 00:12:20.105
And<00:12:16.035> so<00:12:16.036> the<00:12:16.037> mainstream<00:12:16.038> cultural<00:12:16.039> Judaism--

00:12:20.105 --> 00:12:23.876
I<00:12:20.106> learned<00:12:20.107> to<00:12:20.108> speak<00:12:20.109> Yiddish,<00:12:20.110> and<00:12:20.111> say<00:12:20.112> "shayne<00:12:20.113> punim,"

00:12:23.876 --> 00:12:27.212
and<00:12:23.877> know<00:12:23.878> how<00:12:23.879> to<00:12:23.880> get<00:12:23.881> away<00:12:23.882> with<00:12:23.883> so<00:12:23.884> much<00:12:23.885> in<00:12:23.886> the<00:12:23.887> community,

00:12:27.212 --> 00:12:29.915
which<00:12:27.213> is<00:12:27.214> amazing<00:12:27.215> and<00:12:27.216> wonderful.<00:12:27.217> I<00:12:27.218> love<00:12:27.219> the<00:12:27.220> exchange.

00:12:29.915 --> 00:12:33.418
I<00:12:30.024> view<00:12:30.133> it<00:12:30.242> as<00:12:30.351> a<00:12:30.460> contribution,<00:12:30.569> right?<00:12:30.678> That<00:12:30.787> we<00:12:30.896> have<00:12:31.005> so<00:12:31.114> many<00:12:31.223> different<00:12:31.332> ways<00:12:31.441> of<00:12:31.550> behaving.

00:12:33.418 --> 00:12:38.056
When<00:12:33.544> Ashkenazi<00:12:33.669> Jews<00:12:33.795> came<00:12:33.921> to<00:12:34.046> the<00:12:34.172> States,<00:12:34.298> we<00:12:34.423> held<00:12:34.549> onto<00:12:34.674> Yiddish,<00:12:34.800> we<00:12:34.926> held<00:12:35.051> onto<00:12:35.177> the<00:12:35.303> customs<00:12:35.428> and<00:12:35.554> traditions,

00:12:38.056 --> 00:12:41.660
and<00:12:38.057> as<00:12:38.058> generations<00:12:38.059> go<00:12:38.060> on,<00:12:38.061> you<00:12:38.062> kind<00:12:38.063> of<00:12:38.064> assimilate.

00:12:41.660 --> 00:12:45.497
And<00:12:41.779> Persian<00:12:41.898> Jews,<00:12:42.017> because<00:12:42.136> we're<00:12:42.254> so<00:12:42.373> fresh,<00:12:42.492> have<00:12:42.611> held<00:12:42.730> on<00:12:42.849> to<00:12:42.968> a<00:12:43.087> lot<00:12:43.205> of<00:12:43.324> those<00:12:43.443> traditions<00:12:43.562> still.

00:12:45.497 --> 00:12:50.235
So,<00:12:45.498> very<00:12:45.499> deeply<00:12:45.500> instilled<00:12:45.501> in<00:12:45.502> me<00:12:45.503> is<00:12:45.504> making<00:12:45.505> sure<00:12:45.506> Shabbat<00:12:45.507> happens<00:12:45.508> every<00:12:45.509> Friday<00:12:45.510> night

00:12:52.938 --> 00:12:55.574
and<00:12:52.939> I<00:12:52.940> still<00:12:52.941> feel<00:12:52.942> very<00:12:52.943> close<00:12:52.944> to<00:12:52.945> the<00:12:52.946> story

00:12:55.574 --> 00:12:58.176
of<00:12:55.575> emigrating<00:12:55.576> because<00:12:55.577> of<00:12:55.578> persecution.

00:12:58.176 --> 00:13:01.480
That's<00:12:58.177> such<00:12:58.178> an<00:12:58.179> interesting<00:12:58.180> spectrum,<00:12:58.181> too,<00:12:58.182> between<00:12:58.183> Hari<00:12:58.184> and<00:12:58.185> Rachel.

00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:04.616
Somewhere<00:13:01.481> in<00:13:01.482> the<00:13:01.483> middle<00:13:01.484> is<00:13:01.485> everybody's<00:13:01.486> Jewish<00:13:01.487> identity.

00:13:13.392 --> 00:13:18.997

I<00:15:47.180> think<00:15:47.181> it's<00:15:47.182> very<00:15:47.183> important<00:15:47.184> because<00:15:47.185> we<00:15:47.186> are<00:15:47.187> stronger<00:15:47.188> in<00:15:47.189> numbers.

00:15:50.449 --> 00:15:54.519
The<00:15:50.534> more<00:15:50.619> of<00:15:50.704> a<00:15:50.789> community<00:15:50.874> that<00:15:50.958> we<00:15:51.043> build<00:15:51.128> with<00:15:51.213> each<00:15:51.298> other,<00:15:51.383> the<00:15:51.468> less<00:15:51.553> and<00:15:51.638> less<00:15:51.723> we'll<00:15:51.808> see<00:15:51.892> all<00:15:51.977> this<00:15:52.062> hate<00:15:52.147> being<00:15:52.232> spread<00:15:52.317> around.

00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.856
We<00:15:54.520> face<00:15:54.521> lots<00:15:54.522> of<00:15:54.523> hate<00:15:54.524> every<00:15:54.525> day.

00:15:57.856 --> 00:16:04.096
I<00:15:57.974> feel<00:15:58.091> like<00:15:58.209> that's<00:15:58.326> why<00:15:58.444> we<00:15:58.561> have<00:15:58.679> to<00:15:58.797> stick<00:15:58.914> together,<00:15:59.032> help<00:15:59.149> each<00:15:59.267> other,<00:15:59.384> get<00:15:59.502> to<00:15:59.620> know<00:15:59.737> each<00:15:59.855> other,<00:15:59.972> be<00:16:00.090> friends<00:16:00.207> together,<00:16:00.325> right?

00:16:04.096 --> 00:16:09.768
I<00:16:04.228> think<00:16:04.359> it's<00:16:04.491> very<00:16:04.622> easy<00:16:04.754> for<00:16:04.886> us<00:16:05.017> to<00:16:05.149> get<00:16:05.281> caught<00:16:05.412> up<00:16:05.544> in<00:16:05.675> stereotyping<00:16:05.807> each<00:16:05.939> other<00:16:06.070> and<00:16:06.202> caricaturing<00:16:06.333> each<00:16:06.465> other,

00:16:09.768 --> 00:16:13.205
and<00:16:09.769> it<00:16:09.770> really<00:16:09.771> reduces<00:16:09.772> the<00:16:09.773> richness<00:16:09.774> of<00:16:09.775> what<00:16:09.776> it<00:16:09.777> means<00:16:09.778> to<00:16:09.779> be<00:16:09.780> alive.

00:16:13.205 --> 00:16:16.575
What<00:16:13.206> do<00:16:13.207> you<00:16:13.208> feel<00:16:13.209> like<00:16:13.210> you<00:16:13.211> as<00:16:13.212> an<00:16:13.213> ally<00:16:13.214> can<00:16:13.215> you<00:16:13.216> do<00:16:13.217> to<00:16:13.218> help<00:16:13.219> stand<00:16:13.220> up<00:16:13.221> to<00:16:13.222> anti-Semitism?

00:16:16.575 --> 00:16:20.645
Use<00:16:16.576> their<00:16:16.577> voices<00:16:16.578> and<00:16:16.579> amplify<00:16:16.580> them<00:16:16.581> across<00:16:16.582> either<00:16:16.583> my<00:16:16.584> social<00:16:16.585> media<00:16:16.586> platforms

00:16:23.315 --> 00:16:28.720
To<00:16:23.427> let<00:16:23.539> people<00:16:23.652> know<00:16:23.764> that<00:16:23.876> this<00:16:23.988> is<00:16:24.101> real,<00:16:24.213> this<00:16:24.325> is<00:16:24.437> happening,<00:16:24.550> and<00:16:24.662> speaking<00:16:24.774> up<00:16:24.886> and<00:16:24.998> saying<00:16:25.111> something<00:16:25.223> about<00:16:25.335> it<00:16:25.447> can<00:16:25.560> make<00:16:25.672> a<00:16:25.784> difference.

00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:32.124
I<00:16:28.721> think<00:16:28.722> it's<00:16:28.723> just<00:16:28.724> a<00:16:28.725> matter<00:16:28.726> of<00:16:28.727> listening,<00:16:28.728> of<00:16:28.729> educating<00:16:28.730> yourself

00:16:32.124 --> 00:16:35.827
about<00:16:32.310> what<00:16:32.497> Jewish<00:16:32.683> people<00:16:32.869> have<00:16:33.055> gone<00:16:33.242> through,<00:16:33.428> and<00:16:33.614> growing<00:16:33.800> and<00:16:33.987> evolving<00:16:34.173> from<00:16:34.359> there.

00:16:35.827 --> 00:16:38.497
What<00:16:35.828> can<00:16:35.829> Jewish<00:16:35.830> people<00:16:35.831> do<00:16:35.832> to<00:16:35.833> stand<00:16:35.834> up<00:16:35.835> against<00:16:35.836> anti-Semitism?

00:16:38.497 --> 00:16:41.666
I<00:16:38.498> think<00:16:38.499> it's<00:16:38.500> really<00:16:38.501> important<00:16:38.502> to<00:16:38.503> tell<00:16:38.504> our<00:16:38.505> stories<00:16:38.506> especially,

00:16:45.604 --> 00:16:50.575
We<00:16:45.715> don't<00:16:45.825> all<00:16:45.936> come<00:16:46.046> from<00:16:46.157> Eastern<00:16:46.267> Europe.<00:16:46.378> We<00:16:46.488> speak<00:16:46.599> different<00:16:46.709> languages.<00:16:46.820> We're<00:16:46.930> all<00:16:47.041> different<00:16:47.151> shades<00:16:47.262> of<00:16:47.372> colors.

Always<00:18:28.892> there.<00:18:29.078> As<00:18:29.263> a<00:18:29.448> Jewish<00:18:29.634> mother,<00:18:29.819> I<00:18:30.004> really<00:18:30.190> resent<00:18:30.375> it.

00:18:32.544 --> 00:18:35.947
And<00:18:32.545> I<00:18:32.546> said<00:18:32.547> to<00:18:32.548> my<00:18:32.549> son<00:18:32.550> today,<00:18:32.551> "Am<00:18:32.552> I<00:18:32.553> a<00:18:32.554> Jewish<00:18:32.555> mother?"

00:18:35.947 --> 00:18:39.551
He<00:18:35.948> said,<00:18:35.949> "Mom,<00:18:35.950> no<00:18:35.951> one<00:18:35.952> can<00:18:35.953> be<00:18:35.954> farther<00:18:35.955> from<00:18:35.956> a<00:18:35.957> Jewish<00:18:35.958> mother<00:18:35.959> than<00:18:35.960> you."

00:18:39.551 --> 00:18:46.458
My<00:18:39.664> mom<00:18:39.777> did<00:18:39.889> text<00:18:40.002> me<00:18:40.115> today<00:18:40.228> when<00:18:40.341> I<00:18:40.453> told<00:18:40.566> her<00:18:40.679> I<00:18:40.792> was<00:18:40.905> doing<00:18:41.018> this.<00:18:41.130> She<00:18:41.243> said,<00:18:41.356> "Don't<00:18:41.469> say<00:18:41.582> anything<00:18:41.694> bad<00:18:41.807> about<00:18:41.920> me."

00:18:46.458 --> 00:18:51.997
We're<00:18:46.611> talking<00:18:46.764> about<00:18:46.917> the<00:18:47.070> stereotype<00:18:47.223> of<00:18:47.376> Jews<00:18:47.528> running<00:18:47.681> Hollywood<00:18:47.834> and<00:18:47.987> owning<00:18:48.140> the<00:18:48.293> media,

00:18:51.997 --> 00:18:57.335
and<00:18:52.146> I<00:18:52.295> guess<00:18:52.444> I<00:18:52.592> want<00:18:52.741> to<00:18:52.890> acknowledge<00:18:53.039> that<00:18:53.188> this<00:18:53.337> is<00:18:53.485> a<00:18:53.634> particularly<00:18:53.783> successful<00:18:53.932> group

00:18:57.335 --> 00:19:00.739
and<00:18:57.336> we're<00:18:57.337> just<00:18:57.338> a<00:18:57.339> small<00:18:57.340> portion<00:18:57.341> of<00:18:57.342> the<00:18:57.343> Jewish<00:18:57.344> community.

00:19:00.739 --> 00:19:04.643
We<00:19:00.740> are<00:19:00.741> also<00:19:00.742> bus<00:19:00.743> drivers<00:19:00.744> and<00:19:00.745> teachers<00:19:00.746> and<00:19:00.747> nurses<00:19:00.748> and<00:19:00.749> doctors.

00:19:04.643 --> 00:19:08.947
The<00:19:04.644> idea<00:19:04.645> that<00:19:04.646> Jews<00:19:04.647> control<00:19:04.648> media<00:19:04.649> and<00:19:04.650> government<00:19:04.651> and<00:19:04.652> even<00:19:04.653> the<00:19:04.654> weather,<00:19:04.655> right?

00:19:08.947 --> 00:19:12.550
There's<00:19:08.948> this<00:19:08.949> idea<00:19:08.950> that<00:19:08.951> Jews<00:19:08.952> are<00:19:08.953> striving<00:19:08.954> for<00:19:08.955> world<00:19:08.956> domination.

00:19:12.550 --> 00:19:16.621
Are<00:19:12.642> you<00:19:12.735> joking<00:19:12.827> about<00:19:12.920> the<00:19:13.012> weather?<00:19:13.104> -<00:19:13.197> No,<00:19:13.289> no.<00:19:13.381> That's<00:19:13.474> a<00:19:13.566> thing.<00:19:13.659> -<00:19:13.751> [laughing]

00:19:16.621 --> 00:19:20.959
This<00:19:16.622> idea,<00:19:16.623> the<00:19:16.624> Jews<00:19:16.625> control,<00:19:16.626> implies

00:19:20.959 --> 00:19:28.900
that<00:19:21.209> there's<00:19:21.459> a<00:19:21.710> Jewish<00:19:21.960> agenda.<00:19:22.210> But<00:19:22.460> Jews<00:19:22.711> are<00:19:22.961> so<00:19:23.211> incredibly<00:19:23.461> different,<00:19:23.712> and<00:19:23.962> so<00:19:24.212> to<00:19:24.462> argue<00:19:24.712> that<00:19:24.963> there's<00:19:25.213> an<00:19:25.463> agenda--<00:19:25.713> I<00:19:25.964> mean,<00:19:26.214> that's<00:19:26.464> the<00:19:26.714> core<00:19:26.965> of<00:19:27.215> all<00:19:27.465> anti-Semitism,

00:19:28.900 --> 00:19:32.804
is<00:19:28.901> the<00:19:28.902> idea<00:19:28.903> that<00:19:28.904> the<00:19:28.905> Jews,<00:19:28.906> we're<00:19:28.907> all<00:19:28.908> plotting<00:19:28.909> in<00:19:28.910> a<00:19:28.911> corner.

00:19:32.804 --> 00:19:35.674
So<00:19:32.805> much<00:19:32.806> of<00:19:32.807> Jewish<00:19:32.808> identity<00:19:32.809> historically<00:19:32.810> comes<00:19:32.811> from<00:19:32.812> the<00:19:32.813> oppression.

00:19:35.674 --> 00:19:41.980
Like,<00:19:35.896> okay,<00:19:36.119> Jews<00:19:36.341> are<00:19:36.564> good<00:19:36.786> with<00:19:37.009> money.<00:19:37.231> Well,<00:19:37.454> Jews<00:19:37.676> were<00:19:37.898> only<00:19:38.121> allowed<00:19:38.343> to<00:19:38.566> be<00:19:38.788> moneylenders<00:19:39.011> for<00:19:39.233> many,<00:19:39.456> many<00:19:39.678> years.

00:19:41.980 --> 00:19:45.517
So<00:19:42.113> you<00:19:42.247> only<00:19:42.380> allowed<00:19:42.514> Jews<00:19:42.647> to<00:19:42.781> be<00:19:42.914> moneylenders<00:19:43.048> and<00:19:43.181> you<00:19:43.315> say,<00:19:43.448> "Well,<00:19:43.582> you're<00:19:43.715> good<00:19:43.849> with<00:19:43.982> money."

00:19:45.517 --> 00:19:49.587
Well,<00:19:45.622> what<00:19:45.727> other<00:19:45.832> choice<00:19:45.936> did<00:19:46.041> they<00:19:46.146> have?<00:19:46.251> Well,<00:19:46.356> there's<00:19:46.461> this<00:19:46.566> idea<00:19:46.670> that<00:19:46.775> Jews<00:19:46.880> are<00:19:46.985> greedy.

00:19:49.587 --> 00:19:55.527
So<00:19:49.722> it<00:19:49.858> goes<00:19:49.993> along<00:19:50.128> with<00:19:50.264> that<00:19:50.399> thing<00:19:50.534> about<00:19:50.670> power.<00:19:50.805> I<00:19:50.940> remember<00:19:51.076> once<00:19:51.211> I<00:19:51.346> was<00:19:51.482> at<00:19:51.617> a<00:19:51.752> lunch<00:19:51.888> with<00:19:52.023> people

00:19:55.527 --> 00:20:02.367
and<00:19:55.692> the<00:19:55.858> check<00:19:56.023> came<00:19:56.189> and<00:19:56.354> we<00:19:56.520> were<00:19:56.685> all<00:19:56.851> going<00:19:57.016> to<00:19:57.182> split<00:19:57.347> the<00:19:57.513> check.<00:19:57.678> And<00:19:57.844> someone<00:19:58.009> said<00:19:58.175> to<00:19:58.340> another<00:19:58.506> person,<00:19:58.671> like,<00:19:58.837> kiddingly,<00:19:59.002> "Don't<00:19:59.168> be<00:19:59.333> such<00:19:59.499> a<00:19:59.664> Jew."

00:20:02.367 --> 00:20:07.038
-<00:20:02.522> Yeah.<00:20:02.677> -<00:20:02.832> We've<00:20:02.987> all<00:20:03.142> heard<00:20:03.297> that.<00:20:03.452> Thinking<00:20:03.606> that<00:20:03.761> that<00:20:03.916> was<00:20:04.071> funny?<00:20:04.226> I<00:20:04.381> don't<00:20:04.536> know.

00:20:07.038 --> 00:20:10.875
Or<00:20:07.163> "Jew<00:20:07.288> 'em<00:20:07.414> down."<00:20:07.539> You<00:20:07.664> heard<00:20:07.789> that<00:20:07.914> one?<00:20:08.039> Yeah,<00:20:08.164> Jew<00:20:08.290> 'em<00:20:08.415> down.<00:20:08.540> Right.

00:20:10.875 --> 00:20:17.082
We<00:20:11.007> are<00:20:11.138> in<00:20:11.270> a<00:20:11.401> state<00:20:11.533> of<00:20:11.664> limbo,<00:20:11.796> all<00:20:11.927> of<00:20:12.059> us.<00:20:12.190> We've<00:20:12.322> been<00:20:12.453> made<00:20:12.585> to<00:20:12.716> fit<00:20:12.848> into<00:20:12.979> these<00:20:13.111> categories

00:20:17.082 --> 00:20:20.185
for<00:20:17.258> other<00:20:17.434> people<00:20:17.610> to<00:20:17.786> judge<00:20:17.962> us,<00:20:18.137> harm<00:20:18.313> us,<00:20:18.489> hate<00:20:18.665> us,<00:20:18.841> et<00:20:19.017> cetera.

00:20:20.185 --> 00:20:22.987
How<00:20:20.186> many<00:20:20.187> times<00:20:20.188> have<00:20:20.189> people<00:20:20.190> said<00:20:20.191> to<00:20:20.192> you

00:20:22.987 --> 00:20:26.524
as<00:20:22.988> a<00:20:22.989> compliment,<00:20:22.990> "Oh,<00:20:22.991> you<00:20:22.992> don't<00:20:22.993> look<00:20:22.994> Jewish."

00:20:26.524 --> 00:20:29.627
-<00:20:26.525> All<00:20:26.526> the<00:20:26.527> time.<00:20:26.528> -<00:20:26.529> It's<00:20:26.530> never--<00:20:26.531> no<00:20:26.532> one's<00:20:26.533> ever--

00:20:29.627 --> 00:20:32.964
No<00:20:29.628> one's<00:20:29.629> ever<00:20:29.630> been<00:20:29.631> like,<00:20:29.632> "You?<00:20:29.633> Alex<00:20:29.634> Edelman?

00:20:32.964 --> 00:20:36.668
You<00:20:33.235> don't<00:20:33.506> look<00:20:33.777> Jewish!"<00:20:34.048> It's<00:20:34.320> never<00:20:34.591> happened<00:20:34.862> to<00:20:35.133> me.

00:20:36.668 --> 00:20:39.904
But<00:20:36.669> every<00:20:36.670> stereotype<00:20:36.671> has<00:20:36.672> a<00:20:36.673> historical<00:20:36.674> kind<00:20:36.675> of<00:20:36.676> through-line

00:20:39.904 --> 00:20:43.141
or<00:20:40.004> a<00:20:40.104> path<00:20:40.204> of<00:20:40.304> how<00:20:40.405> did<00:20:40.505> we<00:20:40.605> get<00:20:40.705> there?<00:20:40.805> How<00:20:40.905> did<00:20:41.005> we<00:20:41.105> get<00:20:41.206> to<00:20:41.306> Jews<00:20:41.406> are<00:20:41.506> being<00:20:41.606> greedy?

00:20:43.141 --> 00:20:47.512
Well,<00:20:43.142> Christianity<00:20:43.143> came<00:20:43.144> along<00:20:43.145> and<00:20:43.146> they<00:20:43.147> had<00:20:43.148> anti-usury<00:20:43.149> laws.

00:20:47.512 --> 00:20:50.482
So<00:20:47.513> a<00:20:47.514> Christian<00:20:47.515> couldn't<00:20:47.516> lend<00:20:47.517> money<00:20:47.518> to<00:20:47.519> another<00:20:47.520> Christian<00:20:47.521> at<00:20:47.522> interest.

00:20:50.482 --> 00:20:53.752
And<00:20:50.483> so<00:20:50.484> they<00:20:50.485> needed<00:20:50.486> somebody<00:20:50.487> to<00:20:50.488> come<00:20:50.489> in<00:20:50.490> and<00:20:50.491> lend<00:20:50.492> this<00:20:50.493> money

00:20:53.752 --> 00:20:59.891

Two<00:28:44.089> of<00:28:44.090> them<00:28:44.091> had<00:28:44.092> a<00:28:44.093> "no<00:28:44.094> Blacks,<00:28:44.095> no<00:28:44.096> Jews"<00:28:44.097> policy.<00:28:44.098> That<00:28:44.099> was<00:28:44.100> it.<00:28:44.101> In<00:28:44.102> the<00:28:44.103> '80s.

00:28:47.391 --> 00:28:52.063
It<00:28:47.502> was,<00:28:47.613> like,<00:28:47.725> late<00:28:47.836> '80s<00:28:47.947> and<00:28:48.058> no<00:28:48.170> Jews<00:28:48.281> were<00:28:48.392> allowed,<00:28:48.503> and<00:28:48.614> so<00:28:48.726> all<00:28:48.837> the<00:28:48.948> kids<00:28:49.059> went<00:28:49.171> to<00:28:49.282> dance<00:28:49.393> classes

00:28:52.063 --> 00:28:54.999
in<00:28:52.064> one<00:28:52.065> of<00:28:52.066> the<00:28:52.067> country<00:28:52.068> clubs<00:28:52.069> and<00:28:52.070> we<00:28:52.071> couldn't<00:28:52.072> go.

00:28:54.999 --> 00:28:59.170
And<00:28:55.246> there<00:28:55.493> were<00:28:55.740> some<00:28:55.987> swastikas<00:28:56.234> and<00:28:56.480> there<00:28:56.727> were,<00:28:56.974> like,<00:28:57.221> little<00:28:57.468> incidents.

00:28:59.170 --> 00:29:05.009
Now<00:28:59.171> I<00:28:59.172> would<00:28:59.173> say<00:28:59.174> most<00:28:59.175> of<00:28:59.176> the<00:28:59.177> hate<00:28:59.178> mail<00:28:59.179> and<00:28:59.180> death<00:28:59.181> threats<00:28:59.182> that<00:28:59.183> I<00:28:59.184> get

00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:11.315
of<00:29:08.080> misogyny<00:29:08.081> and<00:29:08.082> anti-Semitism.

00:29:11.315 --> 00:29:15.219
It's<00:29:11.446> just<00:29:11.578> part<00:29:11.709> of<00:29:11.840> the<00:29:11.971> way<00:29:12.103> the<00:29:12.234> culture<00:29:12.365> is<00:29:12.496> right<00:29:12.628> now<00:29:12.759> and<00:29:12.890> part<00:29:13.021> of<00:29:13.153> our<00:29:13.284> society.

00:29:15.219 --> 00:29:19.957
I<00:29:15.336> was<00:29:15.453> on<00:29:15.569> the<00:29:15.686> Washington<00:29:15.803> Metro<00:29:15.920> one<00:29:16.036> time<00:29:16.153> and<00:29:16.270> I<00:29:16.387> was<00:29:16.504> on<00:29:16.620> my<00:29:16.737> way<00:29:16.854> to<00:29:16.971> Hebrew<00:29:17.087> school<00:29:17.204> to<00:29:17.321> teach.

00:29:19.957 --> 00:29:24.495
And<00:29:20.131> extremist<00:29:20.305> group<00:29:20.479> type<00:29:20.653> people,<00:29:20.827> they<00:29:21.001> were<00:29:21.175> trying<00:29:21.349> to<00:29:21.523> dominate<00:29:21.697> the<00:29:21.871> airspace<00:29:22.045> of<00:29:22.219> the<00:29:22.393> train.

00:29:24.495 --> 00:29:30.368
The<00:29:24.588> train<00:29:24.682> is<00:29:24.775> packed<00:29:24.869> with<00:29:24.962> people.<00:29:25.055> And<00:29:25.149> they<00:29:25.242> were<00:29:25.336> really<00:29:25.429> loud<00:29:25.522> and<00:29:25.616> they<00:29:25.709> were<00:29:25.803> really<00:29:25.896> mean.

00:29:30.368 --> 00:29:34.171
And<00:29:30.369> then<00:29:30.370> they<00:29:30.371> figured<00:29:30.372> out<00:29:30.373> the<00:29:30.374> words<00:29:30.375> of<00:29:30.376> my<00:29:30.377> prayer<00:29:30.378> book<00:29:30.379> were<00:29:30.380> Hebrew

00:29:44.282 --> 00:29:47.451
I<00:29:44.283> just<00:29:44.284> remember<00:29:44.285> those<00:29:44.286> feelings<00:29:44.287> of<00:29:44.288> just,<00:29:44.289> like--

00:29:53.090 --> 00:29:56.560
Sorry<00:29:53.091> you<00:29:53.092> went<00:29:53.093> through<00:29:53.094> that,<00:29:53.095> man.

00:29:56.560 --> 00:29:59.597
For<00:29:56.561> me<00:29:56.562> it<00:29:56.563> was<00:29:56.564> a<00:29:56.565> thousand<00:29:56.566> small<00:29:56.567> things.

00:29:59.597 --> 00:30:05.603

00:30:05.603 --> 00:30:08.339
When<00:30:05.604> I<00:30:05.605> was<00:30:05.606> 12<00:30:05.607> we<00:30:05.608> had<00:30:05.609> our<00:30:05.610> names<00:30:05.611> on<00:30:05.612> the<00:30:05.613> back<00:30:05.614> of<00:30:05.615> our<00:30:05.616> jersey.

00:30:11.375 --> 00:30:19.150
And<00:30:11.543> then<00:30:11.711> when<00:30:11.878> I<00:30:12.046> was<00:30:12.214> 13,<00:30:12.382> they<00:30:12.550> just<00:30:12.718> put<00:30:12.885> the<00:30:13.053> name<00:30:13.221> of<00:30:13.389> the<00:30:13.557> dry-cleaning<00:30:13.725> business<00:30:13.892> that<00:30:14.060> sponsored<00:30:14.228> us<00:30:14.396> and<00:30:14.564> I<00:30:14.731> was<00:30:14.899> like,<00:30:15.067> oh,<00:30:15.235> thank<00:30:15.403> God,<00:30:15.571> we<00:30:15.738> don't<00:30:15.906> have<00:30:16.074> to<00:30:16.242> have<00:30:16.410> our<00:30:16.578> last<00:30:16.745> names<00:30:16.913> on<00:30:17.081> here.

00:30:19.150 --> 00:30:25.156
But,<00:30:19.229> like,<00:30:19.308> my<00:30:19.387> face<00:30:19.466> still<00:30:19.545> said<00:30:19.624> Edelman,<00:30:19.703> so<00:30:19.782> I<00:30:19.861> got<00:30:19.940> some<00:30:20.019> of<00:30:20.098> it,<00:30:20.177> still,<00:30:20.256> but<00:30:20.335> it's<00:30:20.414> very<00:30:20.493> much<00:30:20.572> out<00:30:20.651> there.

00:30:25.156 --> 00:30:28.292
You<00:30:25.157> know,<00:30:25.158> when<00:30:25.159> I<00:30:25.160> grew<00:30:25.161> up<00:30:25.162> in<00:30:25.163> a<00:30:25.164> suburb<00:30:25.165> of<00:30:25.166> Los<00:30:25.167> Angeles

00:30:28.292 --> 00:30:32.163
there<00:30:28.384> wasn't<00:30:28.477> that<00:30:28.569> bad<00:30:28.662> anti-Semitism.<00:30:28.754> I<00:30:28.846> was<00:30:28.939> told<00:30:29.031> that<00:30:29.123> Jews<00:30:29.216> were<00:30:29.308> going<00:30:29.401> to<00:30:29.493> hell,

00:30:32.163 --> 00:30:35.066
but<00:30:32.164> I<00:30:32.165> don't<00:30:32.166> know,<00:30:32.167> it<00:30:32.168> seemed<00:30:32.169> quaint.

00:30:35.066 --> 00:30:38.002
I<00:30:35.067> didn't<00:30:35.068> feel<00:30:35.069> scared.

00:30:38.002 --> 00:30:42.006
And<00:30:38.003> then<00:30:38.004> I<00:30:38.005> started<00:30:38.006> doing<00:30:38.007> comedy<00:30:38.008> online.

00:30:42.006 --> 00:30:45.109
And<00:30:42.007> that's<00:30:42.008> when<00:30:42.009> I<00:30:42.010> realized,<00:30:42.011> oh,<00:30:42.012> anti-Semitism,<00:30:42.013> it's<00:30:42.014> not<00:30:42.015> this<00:30:42.016> myth.

00:30:45.109 --> 00:30:47.979
I've<00:30:45.110> just<00:30:45.111> lived<00:30:45.112> in<00:30:45.113> these<00:30:45.114> Jewish<00:30:45.115> enclaves.

00:30:47.979 --> 00:30:52.450
It's<00:30:47.980> very,<00:30:47.981> very<00:30:47.982> real,<00:30:47.983> and<00:30:47.984> so<00:30:47.985> there've<00:30:47.986> been<00:30:47.987> a<00:30:47.988> couple<00:30:47.989> things<00:30:47.990> I've<00:30:47.991> done

00:31:00.658 --> 00:31:06.530
they'll<00:31:00.742> do<00:31:00.826> things<00:31:00.911> like<00:31:00.995> go<00:31:01.079> to<00:31:01.163> my<00:31:01.247> Wikipedia<00:31:01.332> page<00:31:01.416> and<00:31:01.500> edit<00:31:01.584> every<00:31:01.668> word<00:31:01.752> to<00:31:01.837> be<00:31:01.921> like,<00:31:02.005> "She's<00:31:02.089> a<00:31:02.173> Jewish<00:31:02.258> Jew<00:31:02.342> from<00:31:02.426> Jewtown."

00:31:06.530 --> 00:31:09.667
Because<00:31:06.531> it's<00:31:06.532> this<00:31:06.533> internet<00:31:06.534> idea

00:31:12.370 --> 00:31:16.474

00:32:15.766 --> 00:32:19.437

00:32:23.541 --> 00:32:27.378
Then<00:32:23.542> right<00:32:23.543> after<00:32:23.544> the<00:32:23.545> things<00:32:23.546> happen<00:32:23.547> with<00:32:23.548> Israel<00:32:23.549> and<00:32:23.550> things<00:32:23.551> got<00:32:23.552> escalated<00:32:23.553> there,

00:32:34.351 --> 00:32:40.357

to<00:33:53.519> make<00:33:53.674> comments<00:33:53.830> about<00:33:53.985> other<00:33:54.140> groups.<00:33:54.295> You<00:33:54.451> know,<00:33:54.606> it's<00:33:54.761> kind<00:33:54.916> of<00:33:55.071> like<00:33:55.227> it's<00:33:55.382> okay<00:33:55.537> to<00:33:55.692> say<00:33:55.847> that<00:33:56.003> about<00:33:56.158> the<00:33:56.313> Jews<00:33:56.468> because<00:33:56.624> of<00:33:56.779> these<00:33:56.934> myths.

00:33:59.370 --> 00:34:03.908
Like,<00:33:59.537> they're<00:33:59.704> powerful.<00:33:59.871> They're<00:34:00.037> greedy.<00:34:00.204> They're<00:34:00.371> trying<00:34:00.538> to<00:34:00.705> screw<00:34:00.872> us<00:34:01.038> out<00:34:01.205> of<00:34:01.372> something,<00:34:01.539> right?

00:34:03.908 --> 00:34:06.710
So<00:34:03.909> I<00:34:03.910> think<00:34:03.911> when<00:34:03.912> you<00:34:03.913> see<00:34:03.914> these<00:34:03.915> comments,<00:34:03.916> they're<00:34:03.917> shocking,

00:34:06.710 --> 00:34:10.881
because<00:34:06.711> you<00:34:06.712> can't<00:34:06.713> believe<00:34:06.714> that<00:34:06.715> somebody<00:34:06.716> would<00:34:06.717> publicly<00:34:06.718> do<00:34:06.719> that<00:34:06.720> or<00:34:06.721> publicly<00:34:06.722> say<00:34:06.723> that.

00:34:10.881 --> 00:34:16.854
Just<00:34:11.109> as<00:34:11.336> a<00:34:11.564> quick<00:34:11.792> aside,<00:34:12.020> there<00:34:12.247> was<00:34:12.475> an<00:34:12.703> athlete<00:34:12.930> who<00:34:13.158> said<00:34:13.386> something<00:34:13.613> on<00:34:13.841> a<00:34:14.069> livestream<00:34:14.297> that<00:34:14.524> was<00:34:14.752> anti-Semitic.

00:34:16.854 --> 00:34:21.559
And<00:34:16.855> then<00:34:16.856> I<00:34:16.857> remember<00:34:16.858> Julian<00:34:16.859> Edelman<00:34:16.860> in<00:34:16.861> fact

00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:25.563
wrote<00:34:21.744> this<00:34:21.929> really<00:34:22.114> inspired<00:34:22.299> tweet<00:34:22.484> which<00:34:22.669> was<00:34:22.854> like,<00:34:23.039> "Come<00:34:23.224> over<00:34:23.409> for<00:34:23.594> Shabbat.

00:34:25.563 --> 00:34:29.200
Let<00:34:25.564> me<00:34:25.565> teach<00:34:25.566> you<00:34:25.567> about<00:34:25.568> the<00:34:25.569> experience<00:34:25.570> about<00:34:25.571> being<00:34:25.572> a<00:34:25.573> Jew."

00:34:29.200 --> 00:34:32.369
Which<00:34:29.201> I<00:34:29.202> thought--<00:34:29.203> to<00:34:29.204> meet<00:34:29.205> it<00:34:29.206> with<00:34:29.207> love<00:34:29.208> and<00:34:29.209> compassion,

00:34:32.369 --> 00:34:37.641
about<00:34:32.501> maybe<00:34:32.632> a<00:34:32.764> blind<00:34:32.895> spot<00:34:33.027> that<00:34:33.159> this<00:34:33.290> guy<00:34:33.422> had<00:34:33.554> to<00:34:33.685> not<00:34:33.817> quite<00:34:33.948> understand<00:34:34.080> the<00:34:34.212> words<00:34:34.343> that<00:34:34.475> he<00:34:34.606> was<00:34:34.738> using.

00:34:37.641 --> 00:34:41.879
And<00:34:37.808> then,<00:34:37.975> you<00:34:38.142> know,<00:34:38.308> he<00:34:38.475> certainly<00:34:38.642> paid<00:34:38.809> a<00:34:38.976> price,<00:34:39.143> but<00:34:39.310> it<00:34:39.476> didn't<00:34:39.643> end<00:34:39.810> his<00:34:39.977> career.

00:34:41.879 --> 00:34:44.381
And<00:34:41.880> I<00:34:41.881> thought<00:34:41.882> it<00:34:41.883> was<00:34:41.884> appropriate,

00:34:44.381 --> 00:34:48.519
the<00:34:44.508> punishment<00:34:44.635> that<00:34:44.763> he<00:34:44.890> got<00:34:45.017> and<00:34:45.144> that<00:34:45.272> he<00:34:45.399> was<00:34:45.526> able<00:34:45.654> to<00:34:45.781> still<00:34:45.908> hopefully<00:34:46.035> learn<00:34:46.163> and<00:34:46.290> do<00:34:46.417> better.

00:34:48.519 --> 00:34:51.488
But<00:34:48.520> if<00:34:48.521> it<00:34:48.522> wasn't<00:34:48.523> anti-Semitic,

00:34:51.488 --> 00:34:55.326
I<00:34:51.489> think<00:34:51.490> it<00:34:51.491> would've<00:34:51.492> been<00:34:51.493> a<00:34:51.494> much<00:34:51.495> harsher<00:34:51.496> punishment.

00:34:55.326 --> 00:35:00.564
I<00:34:55.428> think<00:34:55.530> because<00:34:55.633> it<00:34:55.735> was<00:34:55.837> anti-Semitic<00:34:55.939> people<00:34:56.041> didn't<00:34:56.144> feel<00:34:56.246> as<00:34:56.348> inclined<00:34:56.450> to<00:34:56.552> be<00:34:56.654> as<00:34:56.757> tough<00:34:56.859> about<00:34:56.961> it.

00:35:00.564 --> 00:35:04.568
And<00:35:00.565> the<00:35:00.566> double<00:35:00.567> standard<00:35:00.568> of<00:35:00.569> it<00:35:00.570> for<00:35:00.571> me<00:35:00.572> is<00:35:00.573> really<00:35:00.574> interesting.

00:35:04.568 --> 00:35:09.740
I<00:35:04.569> love<00:35:04.570> Julian<00:35:04.571> Edelman<00:35:04.572> because<00:35:04.573> he<00:35:04.574> sort<00:35:04.575> of<00:35:04.576> comes<00:35:04.577> at<00:35:04.578> anti-Semitism<00:35:04.579> with<00:35:04.580> such<00:35:04.581> kindness.

00:35:09.740 --> 00:35:12.476
Just<00:35:09.741> to<00:35:09.742> close<00:35:09.743> that<00:35:09.744> gap<00:35:09.745> though,

00:35:12.476 --> 00:35:15.913
that<00:35:12.477> basketball<00:35:12.478> player<00:35:12.479> who<00:35:12.480> said<00:35:12.481> that<00:35:12.482> anti-Semitic<00:35:12.483> slur,

00:35:15.913 --> 00:35:18.749
he's<00:35:15.914> done<00:35:15.915> a<00:35:15.916> lot<00:35:15.917> of<00:35:15.918> work.<00:35:15.919> I<00:35:15.920> followed<00:35:15.921> up<00:35:15.922> on<00:35:15.923> that<00:35:15.924> story

00:35:18.749 --> 00:35:21.385
and<00:35:18.750> he's<00:35:18.751> been<00:35:18.752> very<00:35:18.753> active<00:35:18.754> within<00:35:18.755> the<00:35:18.756> Jewish<00:35:18.757> community

00:35:21.385 --> 00:35:24.655
and<00:35:21.386> he's<00:35:21.387> really<00:35:21.388> been<00:35:21.389> humbled<00:35:21.390> and<00:35:21.391> he's<00:35:21.392> really<00:35:21.393> been<00:35:21.394> accepted

00:35:24.655 --> 00:35:30.594
-<00:35:24.744> by<00:35:24.833> a<00:35:24.922> lot<00:35:25.011> of<00:35:25.100> the<00:35:25.189> Jewish<00:35:25.278> community<00:35:25.367> that<00:35:25.456> he's<00:35:25.545> in<00:35:25.634> now.<00:35:25.723> -<00:35:25.811> That's<00:35:25.900> awesome.<00:35:25.989> He's<00:35:26.078> done<00:35:26.167> the<00:35:26.256> work.<00:35:26.345> It's<00:35:26.434> really<00:35:26.523> inspiring,<00:35:26.612> to<00:35:26.701> be<00:35:26.790> honest.

00:35:30.594 --> 00:35:33.731
-<00:35:30.595> It<00:35:30.596> was<00:35:30.597> a<00:35:30.598> good<00:35:30.599> teaching<00:35:30.600> moment.<00:35:30.601> -<00:35:30.602> That<00:35:30.603> was<00:35:30.604> awesome.

00:35:33.731 --> 00:35:36.567
If<00:35:33.732> I<00:35:33.733> think<00:35:33.734> about<00:35:33.735> my<00:35:33.736> day<00:35:33.737> to<00:35:33.738> day,<00:35:33.739> what's<00:35:33.740> most<00:35:33.741> threatening<00:35:33.742> is<00:35:33.743> not<00:35:33.744> my<00:35:33.745> Judaism.

00:35:36.567 --> 00:35:39.637
As<00:35:36.568> a<00:35:36.569> person<00:35:36.570> walking<00:35:36.571> down<00:35:36.572> the<00:35:36.573> street,<00:35:36.574> it<00:35:36.575> just<00:35:36.576> isn't.

00:35:39.637 --> 00:35:44.942
It<00:35:39.770> just<00:35:39.904> fundamentally<00:35:40.037> isn't.<00:35:40.171> It's<00:35:40.304> my<00:35:40.438> trans<00:35:40.571> identity.<00:35:40.705> And<00:35:40.838> it's<00:35:40.971> also<00:35:41.105> one<00:35:41.238> of<00:35:41.372> the<00:35:41.505> most<00:35:41.639> marginalized<00:35:41.772> groups

and<00:36:21.615> so<00:36:21.717> I<00:36:21.820> think<00:36:21.923> it's<00:36:22.025> changing.<00:36:22.128> We're<00:36:22.231> in<00:36:22.334> this<00:36:22.436> moment<00:36:22.539> of<00:36:22.642> transformation<00:36:22.744> right<00:36:22.847> now

00:36:25.949 --> 00:36:31.355
between<00:36:26.068> the<00:36:26.187> old<00:36:26.306> way<00:36:26.425> and<00:36:26.543> the<00:36:26.662> new<00:36:26.781> way,<00:36:26.900> and<00:36:27.019> the<00:36:27.138> new<00:36:27.257> way<00:36:27.376> is<00:36:27.494> fiercely<00:36:27.613> loving<00:36:27.732> and<00:36:27.851> beautiful

00:36:31.355 --> 00:36:34.858
and<00:36:31.525> also<00:36:31.694> open<00:36:31.864> to<00:36:32.033> learning<00:36:32.203> and<00:36:32.373> making<00:36:32.542> mistakes<00:36:32.712> -<00:36:32.881> and<00:36:33.051> growing.<00:36:33.220> -<00:36:33.390> Totally.

00:36:34.858 --> 00:36:39.363
And<00:36:34.956> so<00:36:35.054> I<00:36:35.152> think<00:36:35.250> we're<00:36:35.349> kind<00:36:35.447> of<00:36:35.545> on<00:36:35.643> the<00:36:35.741> cusp<00:36:35.839> of<00:36:35.937> something<00:36:36.035> really<00:36:36.134> extraordinary<00:36:36.232> that's<00:36:36.330> happening<00:36:36.428> right<00:36:36.526> now.

00:36:39.363 --> 00:36:42.066
And<00:36:39.364> you're<00:36:39.365> right,<00:36:39.366> there's<00:36:39.367> a<00:36:39.368> massive<00:36:39.369> amount<00:36:39.370> of<00:36:39.371> failure<00:36:39.372> here.

00:36:42.066 --> 00:36:46.904
And<00:36:42.067> it's<00:36:42.068> historical<00:36:42.069> failure,<00:36:42.070> and<00:36:42.071> it's<00:36:42.072> actually<00:36:42.073> violence<00:36:42.074> against<00:36:42.075> the<00:36:42.076> LGBT<00:36:42.077> community

00:36:46.904 --> 00:36:51.709
for<00:36:46.905> thousands<00:36:46.906> of<00:36:46.907> years<00:36:46.908> that<00:36:46.909> now<00:36:46.910> has<00:36:46.911> to<00:36:46.912> be<00:36:46.913> actively<00:36:46.914> undone<00:36:46.915> and<00:36:46.916> re-done

00:36:51.709 --> 00:36:54.878
so<00:36:51.710> that<00:36:51.711> the<00:36:51.712> community<00:36:51.713> can<00:36:51.714> truly<00:36:51.715> be<00:36:51.716> what<00:36:51.717> it's<00:36:51.718> intended<00:36:51.719> to<00:36:51.720> be.

00:36:54.878 --> 00:37:01.051
It's<00:36:55.004> really<00:36:55.129> inspiring<00:36:55.255> to<00:36:55.380> hear<00:36:55.506> that.<00:36:55.631> I<00:36:55.757> think<00:36:55.882> ultimately<00:36:56.008> it's<00:36:56.133> generational,<00:36:56.259> right?<00:36:56.384> I<00:36:56.510> love<00:36:56.635> that<00:36:56.761> you're<00:36:56.886> so<00:36:57.012> progressive<00:36:57.137> in<00:36:57.263> doing<00:36:57.388> that<00:36:57.514> work.

00:37:01.051 --> 00:37:18.902
It's<00:37:01.052> really<00:37:01.053> moving<00:37:01.054> for<00:37:01.055> me<00:37:01.056> to<00:37:01.057> hear.

00:37:18.902 --> 00:37:23.073
"In<00:37:18.903> high<00:37:18.904> school,<00:37:18.905> I<00:37:18.906> was<00:37:18.907> called<00:37:18.908> 'Jew-boy'<00:37:18.909> simply<00:37:18.910> because<00:37:18.911> of<00:37:18.912> my<00:37:18.913> nose.

00:37:45.562 --> 00:37:48.766

00:39:43.614 --> 00:39:46.850
-<00:39:43.615> Yeah.<00:39:43.616> -<00:39:43.617> ...and<00:39:43.618> anti-Semitism<00:39:43.619> is<00:39:43.620> obviously<00:39:43.621> on<00:39:43.622> the<00:39:43.623> rise.

00:39:46.850 --> 00:39:50.954
And<00:39:46.948> I<00:39:47.045> think<00:39:47.143> that's<00:39:47.240> part<00:39:47.338> of<00:39:47.435> the<00:39:47.533> work,<00:39:47.630> to<00:39:47.728> be<00:39:47.825> a<00:39:47.923> proud<00:39:48.020> Jewish<00:39:48.118> person,

00:39:50.954 --> 00:39:54.124
and<00:39:50.955> to<00:39:50.956> not<00:39:50.957> hide<00:39:50.958> the<00:39:50.959> Star<00:39:50.960> of<00:39:50.961> David<00:39:50.962> or<00:39:50.963> the<00:39:50.964> mezuzah<00:39:50.965> on<00:39:50.966> my<00:39:50.967> door

00:39:54.124 --> 00:39:58.161
and<00:39:54.212> actually<00:39:54.300> stand<00:39:54.389> up<00:39:54.477> for<00:39:54.565> what's<00:39:54.653> right.<00:39:54.742> And<00:39:54.830> absolutely,<00:39:54.918> I<00:39:55.006> think<00:39:55.094> it<00:39:55.183> could<00:39:55.271> happen<00:39:55.359> again.

00:39:58.161 --> 00:40:00.898
All<00:39:58.162> the<00:39:58.163> Jews<00:39:58.164> were<00:39:58.165> raised<00:39:58.166> with<00:39:58.167> this<00:39:58.168> idea<00:39:58.169> of<00:39:58.170> never<00:39:58.171> again,

00:40:00.898 --> 00:40:03.901
but<00:40:00.899> they<00:40:00.900> didn't<00:40:00.901> tell<00:40:00.902> us<00:40:00.903> it's<00:40:00.904> never<00:40:00.905> going<00:40:00.906> to<00:40:00.907> look<00:40:00.908> exactly<00:40:00.909> the<00:40:00.910> same.

00:40:03.901 --> 00:40:08.939
it<00:40:04.028> might<00:40:04.155> not<00:40:04.283> be<00:40:04.410> the<00:40:04.537> Jews,<00:40:04.664> you<00:40:04.791> know?<00:40:04.919> -<00:40:05.046> We've<00:40:05.173> been<00:40:05.300> trying<00:40:05.427> to<00:40:05.554> prevent<00:40:05.682> this--<00:40:05.809> -<00:40:05.936> Kristallnacht.

00:40:08.939 --> 00:40:11.642
Kristallnacht,<00:40:08.940> this<00:40:08.941> specific<00:40:08.942> thing<00:40:08.943> from<00:40:08.944> happening.

00:40:11.642 --> 00:40:16.313
It's<00:40:11.771> not<00:40:11.900> always<00:40:12.029> going<00:40:12.158> to<00:40:12.287> look<00:40:12.416> the<00:40:12.545> exact<00:40:12.674> same.<00:40:12.803> -<00:40:12.932> It's<00:40:13.061> going<00:40:13.190> to<00:40:13.319> morph.<00:40:13.448> -<00:40:13.577> Right.

00:40:16.313 --> 00:40:20.951
I<00:40:16.456> think<00:40:16.600> we've<00:40:16.743> all<00:40:16.886> seen<00:40:17.029> in<00:40:17.173> the<00:40:17.316> last<00:40:17.459> few<00:40:17.603> years,<00:40:17.746> there's<00:40:17.889> a<00:40:18.033> million<00:40:18.176> little<00:40:18.319> versions<00:40:18.462> of<00:40:18.606> what<00:40:18.749> happened.

00:40:20.951 --> 00:40:24.121
It<00:40:21.082> doesn't<00:40:21.213> have<00:40:21.344> to<00:40:21.475> be<00:40:21.606> the<00:40:21.737> Holocaust<00:40:21.869> to<00:40:22.000> rhyme<00:40:22.131> with<00:40:22.262> it.<00:40:22.393> -<00:40:22.524> Yeah.<00:40:22.655> -<00:40:22.786> Yeah.

00:40:24.121 --> 00:40:32.763
My<00:40:24.328> grandfather<00:40:24.536> in<00:40:24.743> Germany,<00:40:24.950> when<00:40:25.158> he<00:40:25.365> was<00:40:25.573> a<00:40:25.780> young<00:40:25.987> man--<00:40:26.195> when<00:40:26.402> he<00:40:26.609> was<00:40:26.817> young,<00:40:27.024> he<00:40:27.231> never<00:40:27.439> could've<00:40:27.646> imagined<00:40:27.853> that<00:40:28.061> one<00:40:28.268> day,<00:40:28.476> before<00:40:28.683> the<00:40:28.890> rise<00:40:29.098> of<00:40:29.305> the<00:40:29.512> Nazi<00:40:29.720> death<00:40:29.927> machine,

00:40:32.763 --> 00:40:35.732
the<00:40:32.764> only<00:40:32.765> country<00:40:32.766> he<00:40:32.767> ever<00:40:32.768> knew<00:40:32.769> would<00:40:32.770> turn<00:40:32.771> on<00:40:32.772> him,

00:40:35.732 --> 00:40:38.268
regard<00:40:35.733> him<00:40:35.734> as<00:40:35.735> an<00:40:35.736> enemy<00:40:35.737> of<00:40:35.738> the<00:40:35.739> state,

00:40:38.268 --> 00:40:44.608
destroy<00:40:38.460> everything<00:40:38.652> that<00:40:38.844> he<00:40:39.035> ever<00:40:39.227> loved,<00:40:39.419> slaughter<00:40:39.611> his<00:40:39.803> entire<00:40:39.995> family<00:40:40.187> and<00:40:40.378> friends,<00:40:40.570> and<00:40:40.762> force<00:40:40.954> him<00:40:41.146> to<00:40:41.338> come<00:40:41.529> here<00:40:41.721> as<00:40:41.913> a<00:40:42.105> refugee.

00:40:44.608 --> 00:40:49.079
He<00:40:44.719> never<00:40:44.830> would've<00:40:44.942> guessed<00:40:45.053> when<00:40:45.164> he<00:40:45.275> was<00:40:45.387> a<00:40:45.498> young<00:40:45.609> man<00:40:45.720> that<00:40:45.831> his<00:40:45.943> grandchildren<00:40:46.054> would<00:40:46.165> be<00:40:46.276> born<00:40:46.388> in<00:40:46.499> this<00:40:46.610> country.

00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:52.783
And<00:40:49.080> so<00:40:49.081> I<00:40:49.082> don't<00:40:49.083> think<00:40:49.084> that<00:40:49.085> I<00:40:49.086> or<00:40:49.087> any<00:40:49.088> of<00:40:49.089> us<00:40:49.090> around<00:40:49.091> this<00:40:49.092> table

00:40:52.783 --> 00:40:57.020
can<00:40:52.784> take<00:40:52.785> for<00:40:52.786> granted<00:40:52.787> that<00:40:52.788> our<00:40:52.789> grandchildren<00:40:52.790> will<00:40:52.791> be<00:40:52.792> born<00:40:52.793> here.

00:40:57.020 --> 00:41:01.858
My<00:40:57.021> grandparents<00:40:57.022> on<00:40:57.023> my<00:40:57.024> mother's<00:40:57.025> side<00:40:57.026> were<00:40:57.027> Holocaust<00:40:57.028> survivors.

00:41:01.858 --> 00:41:04.761
My<00:41:01.859> grandfather<00:41:01.860> essentially<00:41:01.861> lost<00:41:01.862> his<00:41:01.863> whole<00:41:01.864> family.

00:41:04.761 --> 00:41:07.864
His<00:41:04.762> father<00:41:04.763> was<00:41:04.764> shot<00:41:04.765> on<00:41:04.766> the<00:41:04.767> way<00:41:04.768> to<00:41:04.769> the<00:41:04.770> trains

00:41:07.864 --> 00:41:10.367
because<00:41:07.865> he<00:41:07.866> had<00:41:07.867> a<00:41:07.868> clubfoot<00:41:07.869> and<00:41:07.870> couldn't<00:41:07.871> keep<00:41:07.872> up,<00:41:07.873> so<00:41:07.874> they<00:41:07.875> shot<00:41:07.876> him.

00:41:10.367 --> 00:41:15.238
I<00:41:10.368> remember<00:41:10.369> there<00:41:10.370> was<00:41:10.371> always<00:41:10.372> this<00:41:10.373> photograph<00:41:10.374> in<00:41:10.375> their<00:41:10.376> house<00:41:10.377> of<00:41:10.378> this<00:41:10.379> woman.

00:41:15.238 --> 00:41:19.876
She<00:41:15.333> was<00:41:15.428> holding<00:41:15.523> a<00:41:15.618> baby.<00:41:15.714> And<00:41:15.809> I<00:41:15.904> remember<00:41:15.999> the<00:41:16.094> story<00:41:16.189> that--<00:41:16.284> my<00:41:16.379> mom<00:41:16.474> was<00:41:16.569> like,<00:41:16.665> "They<00:41:16.760> died<00:41:16.855> in<00:41:16.950> a<00:41:17.045> gas<00:41:17.140> chamber."

00:41:19.876 --> 00:41:25.182
My<00:41:20.001> grandmother<00:41:20.125> loved<00:41:20.250> telling<00:41:20.374> me<00:41:20.499> Holocaust<00:41:20.624> stories.<00:41:20.748> How<00:41:20.873> she<00:41:20.997> hid<00:41:21.122> in<00:41:21.247> the<00:41:21.371> woods<00:41:21.496> with<00:41:21.620> her<00:41:21.745> family,

00:41:25.182 --> 00:41:27.818
and<00:41:25.183> heard<00:41:25.184> the<00:41:25.185> bombs<00:41:25.186> going<00:41:25.187> off,<00:41:25.188> and<00:41:25.189> felt<00:41:25.190> the<00:41:25.191> bombs<00:41:25.192> going<00:41:25.193> off.

00:41:27.818 --> 00:41:36.293
And<00:41:27.994> so<00:41:28.170> I<00:41:28.345> was<00:41:28.521> raised<00:41:28.697> with<00:41:28.873> these<00:41:29.049> stories.<00:41:29.224> And<00:41:29.400> you<00:41:29.576> talk<00:41:29.752> about<00:41:29.928> PTSD<00:41:30.104> or<00:41:30.279> whatever,<00:41:30.455> I<00:41:30.631> lived<00:41:30.807> with<00:41:30.983> this<00:41:31.158> trauma<00:41:31.334> my<00:41:31.510> whole--<00:41:31.686> since<00:41:31.862> I<00:41:32.037> was<00:41:32.213> a<00:41:32.389> kid,

00:41:36.293 --> 00:41:43.167
and<00:41:36.504> it<00:41:36.716> didn't<00:41:36.927> even<00:41:37.138> happen<00:41:37.350> to<00:41:37.561> me.<00:41:37.772> But<00:41:37.984> it<00:41:38.195> obviously<00:41:38.406> had<00:41:38.618> a<00:41:38.829> profound<00:41:39.040> impact<00:41:39.252> because<00:41:39.463> I<00:41:39.674> guess<00:41:39.886> it's<00:41:40.097> the<00:41:40.308> kind<00:41:40.520> of<00:41:40.731> thing<00:41:40.942> where<00:41:41.154> you're<00:41:41.365> always<00:41:41.576> on<00:41:41.788> the<00:41:41.999> lookout.

00:41:43.167 --> 00:41:47.638
It's<00:41:43.168> weird<00:41:43.169> knowing<00:41:43.170> that<00:41:43.171> they<00:41:43.172> were<00:41:43.173> murdered.

00:41:47.638 --> 00:41:50.774
-<00:41:47.639> And<00:41:47.640> you<00:41:47.641> are<00:41:47.642> a<00:41:47.643> miracle,<00:41:47.644> right?<00:41:47.645> -<00:41:47.646> Yes.<00:41:47.647> Yeah.<00:41:47.648> I<00:41:47.649> know.

00:41:50.774 --> 00:41:56.380
-<00:41:50.855> I<00:41:50.936> mean,<00:41:51.016> the<00:41:51.097> fact<00:41:51.178> that<00:41:51.259> you<00:41:51.340> exist<00:41:51.420> in<00:41:51.501> the<00:41:51.582> world.<00:41:51.663> -<00:41:51.743> It<00:41:51.824> is<00:41:51.905> a<00:41:51.986> miracle.<00:41:52.067> It's<00:41:52.147> certainly<00:41:52.228> a<00:41:52.309> miracle.

00:41:56.380 --> 00:42:00.884
So<00:41:56.381> many<00:41:56.382> of<00:41:56.383> us,<00:41:56.384> six<00:41:56.385> million<00:41:56.386> people<00:41:56.387> got<00:41:56.388> killed<00:41:56.389> in<00:41:56.390> the<00:41:56.391> Holocaust.

00:42:00.884 --> 00:42:03.787

00:45:15.011 --> 00:45:19.049
It's<00:45:15.106> the<00:45:15.201> only<00:45:15.296> way<00:45:15.391> to<00:45:15.486> get<00:45:15.581> through.<00:45:15.676> Not<00:45:15.771> only<00:45:15.866> that.<00:45:15.961> We<00:45:16.056> invented<00:45:16.151> stand-up<00:45:16.246> comedy.

00:45:34.631 --> 00:45:37.534
One<00:45:34.632> of<00:45:34.633> the<00:45:34.634> things<00:45:34.635> that<00:45:34.636> made<00:45:34.637> me<00:45:34.638> really<00:45:34.639> proud<00:45:34.640> as<00:45:34.641> a<00:45:34.642> Jew

00:45:37.534 --> 00:45:40.537
was<00:45:37.535> that<00:45:37.536> in,<00:45:37.537> let's<00:45:37.538> say<00:45:37.539> the<00:45:37.540> last<00:45:37.541> four<00:45:37.542> years,

00:45:40.537 --> 00:45:45.575
there<00:45:40.695> were<00:45:40.852> a<00:45:41.010> lot<00:45:41.168> of<00:45:41.326> communities<00:45:41.483> that<00:45:41.641> were<00:45:41.799> being<00:45:41.957> victimized<00:45:42.114> and<00:45:42.272> marginalized.

00:45:45.575 --> 00:45:48.912
And<00:45:45.576> I<00:45:45.577> felt<00:45:45.578> like<00:45:45.579> Jews<00:45:45.580> were<00:45:45.581> really<00:45:45.582> doing<00:45:45.583> their<00:45:45.584> part
