A British Jewish Term Jonah Platt Has NEVER Heard Of | Being Jewish Lighting Round!

Baroness Luciana Berger joins Jonah Platt for Being Jewish's signature lightning round, and this time the questions get personal. Jonah Platt asks about her favorite Jewish holiday, her actual seat in shul, and a Hebrew name with a story she wasn't expecting to explain on camera. Plus: her pick for the greatest British monarch (and the one she refuses to trash), a British Jewish custom most people outside the UK have never heard of, and the final verdict on the debate that ends every Jonah Platt episode: challah, rip or slice? This lightning round is the lighter half of Jonah Platt's conversation with Baroness Berger. The full episode goes somewhere far more serious. Jonah Platt and the Baroness dig into Keir Starmer's shock resignation, the antisemitism crisis still gripping the Labour Party, and what she personally endured under Jeremy Corbyn before walking away from her own party in 2019. From the Golders Green stabbing to the state of Jewish security across the UK, she doesn't hold back on where Britain stands right now, and still makes the case for why British Jewish life is more vibrant than ever.
