From 2005-2007, this podcast was hosted by a "nice Jewish couple" (and their baby girl!) living in the buckle of the Bible Belt. Eric and Raya talked about married life, Sophie Arielle, the Simpsons, Judaism, and anything else which wandered across their brains.

Jews in Alabama, Episode #28
We're back, after a two-week absence. We talk about our Valentine's Day with Vulcan, Roman god of the forge. We also discuss the Orthodox Union's new website for teens: Why Date Jewish? We've been watching lots of the Olympics, and rooting for the Israeli ice dancers. And, surprise surprise -- we find ourselves in agreement with a Baptist minister!! Plus, podcasting goes pay-for-play, and of course, a "Baby Update." All of this crammed into 38 minutes, 14 seconds!!

We also discuss the Muslim riots in Europe and protests in the US over the publication of editorial cartoons, talk about Raya's class on Baruch Spinoza; and we've finally registered for baby stuff!! 50 minutes, 28 seconds.
