Nearly Every Jew Will Get These Questions Wrong! - Lighting Round!

Recent Jewish convert Our Lady J gets quizzed on the most obscure Jewish laws ever — kosher bugs, Shabbat loopholes, Torah panic, and more. Can she pass? In this lightning round segment from Being Jewish with Jonah Platt, Jonah puts Emmy-nominated writer and Jewish convert Our Lady J through "Extreme Beit Din" — a rapid-fire quiz on the most esoteric corners of Jewish halacha (Jewish law) that would stump even most born Jews. From kosher grasshoppers to flash-boiled wine, wool-linen combos to Shabbat brises — this is Judaism at its most unexpected, most hilarious, and most surprisingly profound. And the final question? It ends with a genuine lesson about what Judaism actually asks of us when we don't have all the answers. — What is Shemini Atzeret (and why does nobody really know)? — The one bug that's actually kosher to eat — How much matzah you actually need at a Seder — What is Mevushal wine — and why can a non-Jew open it? — What to do when you blank on the Torah blessings mid-aliyah 🎙️ Being Jewish with Jonah Platt is a podcast about Jewish identity, culture, Israel, and what it means to be Jewish in the modern world.
