Smite Me: A Torah Podcast

We had @charliesosnick_nsfw on the show to talk about “Jewish Revenge 1”, a Mossad centered action movie that might only be available on YouTube. Charlie is hilarious and this movie is insane - so you know it’s a heck of an ep!

We are in the thick of the last book of the old Torah! Listen wherever you find podcasts

Ever wanted to spend your afternoon/evening reading Jews for Jesus Yelp reviews with @livinavivaloca? Well now you can! Only on @smitemepodcast 😎

*Smash Mouth voice* 🎵Well Hashem starts smiting and He don’t stop smiting🎵 In this episode, God bans Moses from Israel and punishes the Jews with snakes. Do they kind of deserve it though? Sort of!

We did an episode on Jewish anarchist Emma Goldman, here we are discussing a famous quote of hers regarding bustin’ a move!

In this episode we discussed the career of controversial Jewish intellectual Norman Finkelstein! Here we are talking about his 2003 Democracy Now debate against Alan Dershowitz that got so heated, Josh almost crashed his car.

The one and only @votedna came on the show to talk about the great mystery of the covenant, attending an old school New Jersey Hebrew school, and show cows! Available everywhere 🐮

Another movie episode! We cover the 1956 epic ‘The Ten Commandments’; here we are discussing the rather goofy portrayal of lawlessness in the golden calf scene. Thanks to Caleb and Frank from Best Adapted Podcast for joining us!

Another clip from episode 21, our big Exodus finale! What should Moses have done with the golden calf when he came back from Mount Sinai? Here’s @ayanimakesnoise with an incredibly diplomatic answer.

Well folks, we’ve now made it through Genesis and Exodus. In episode 21 we get retrospective about what we’ve read so far, here’s Josh making a salient ass point about how the book tells us to interact with other cultures. Link in comments!

The hilarious @benwassergram joined us for our golden calf episode! Here he is answering that eternal question, WWBBD (what would bible bansky do?) 👑 🐮 Link in comments!

In episode 19 we cover some pretty technical instructions about priestly vestments, here we are making fun of the holy priest Aaron for having to wear bells on his vest, lol loser

Orion Levine (@lifeoftrying) came on the show go through a long list of God’s laws with us. Here he is breaking down the “you shall not tolerate a sorceress” rule.

Today we have Geneva Rust-Orta on the show discussing the 10 commandments! In this clip she explains how the Jews’ contract with God reminds her of 50 Shades of Gray, the famous sex book.

New episode with @mattliebjokes available now! In this episode we cover the crossing of the Red Sea. Here’s Matt explaining how the chapter had way more grumbling than he was expecting.

Coming Wednesday, we get a little blast from the past as Josh resurfaces his poignant 2008 bar mitzvah speech

New Passover episode out today! We cover the insane lengths some Jewish people (and states) will go to in order to avoid technically “owning” any bread during the holiday. It’s both fascinating and extremely necessary! Check is out wherever you listen to podcasts.

It’s episode 13 and we’re finally covering Exodus! This week Moses kills a slave driver in a moment of righteous anger, but is not as strategic about the clean up as he probably should have been. Available on Spotify and Apple!

🎬Smite Me At The Movies!🍿 We finished Genesis so we rewarded ourselves with a movie day! We cover: Noah (2014) - From the twisted mind of Darren Aronofsky, it’s a movie where Russell Crowe plays Noah of Noah’s ark fame and [SPOILER ALERT] almost kills Emma Watson’s twin babies but then doesn’t Joseph: King Of Dreams (2000) - An animated Dreamworks movie starring Ben Affleck as Joseph that we promise you never have to watch Sodom and Gomorrah: The Last Seven Days (1975) - A vintage adult film that tells the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in detail but replaces God with a talking monkey on a spaceship Available on Spotify and Apple!
