Episode description

This week, Uri and Rivky talk about their cravings for the newly-kosher "Impossible Burger" - the first kosher cheeseburger. They ask, what does kashrut mean, when we increasingly approach a world in which everything is kosher? Then, they discuss Michael Chabon's speech at the HUC graduation, in which Chabon makes the case for intermarriage, and tearing down all fences - literal or otherwise. Is Chabon crazy? Does he have a point? Is he racist, or are we?
