EP 15. Around The Shabbos Table

We take a look at the clip from NBC's nurses which depicts a Chasidic boy and his father refusing an opportunity to be healed because the leg would come from a non-Jewish woman.

You can watch the clip here: https://twitter.com/i/status/1364330312734568448

The interesting thing here is that this conversation of how we portray ourselves is not just how the media looks at us but also how we look internally as a nation as well.

This was brought to light by Jonathan Rosenblum's article from a few weeks ago.

You can read the article here:

How we act is sometimes how the world sees us and sometimes that's no so good.

What can we do about it?
