Quarantine time is weird: What day is it? How long have we been inside? How long will this last? This week we discuss how the various cycles of Jewish Time can be anchoring forces for those of us who are feeling adrift.

Now that we are all hermits in our own way, the Kashers examine the history of Jewish hermits and loners. They ask why Judaism generally rejects this sort of asceticism and what we can gain from spending some time alone.

The Kasher Boys trace the concept of Jewish Hygiene from the Book of Leviticus on through the Black Plague, and wonder what those ancient priests would have thought of our current attempts to avoid contamination.

Two brothers, a rabbi and a comedian, try to figure out how to do Judaism during a pandemic. See if you can figure out who’s who.
