We are SO back: Szn 50 Ep. 1

Sof Davar: Finale

Judy and Yoni mourn (or celebrate) the end of Survivor 50 by kibbetzing a bit about how their feelings about the season changed as it went on, comparing that to Jewish reactions to history. Then, we go live to their finale watch party where they and some special guests chaotically react live to every twist, intentional and otherwise. "Fire Jeff?" Thanks for following along for another season! Stay tuned for an extremely special guest episode coming soon...

A Beast Among Men

"Welcome to Survivor, Mr. Beast." What did those words do? What metaphysical energy did they bring into the Survivor universe? What does it mean for Survivor when an outsider suddenly gains immense power? Yoni and Judy answer those questions and more, ultimately revealing how Mr. Beast's appearance on Survivor shook the foundation of the divine itself and how it might alter our conception of how power is used on Survivor. Enjoy all of that, and then enjoy some laughs at the demise of Survivor's most notorious antisemite.

Blood Moons on the Doorframe

After a dizzying several weeks of Survivor 50 twists, each of which have clear Jewish parallels, Yoni and Judy take the mics to banter about what Season 50 has delivered so far -- Jewish and secular. Among other scintillating topics, they discuss Coach's characters and what they mean for the Jews, the Survivor editors joining the Talmudic tradition, and the Seder-Survivor pipeline. Enjoy the latest installment as you get ready for the home stretch of Survivor 50!

Lashon HaEilish: Szn. 50 Eps. 2-3

Yoni and Judy chat about what they took from episodes 2 and 3 of Survivor 50. After memorializing the most recent vote-out (ZT"L), they start things light by discussing which Survivor 50 players would hide them (yes, you're thinking about that right), before getting into Survivor's anti-democratic democracy, and the permissability of speaking lashon hara on Survivor and at home. Enjoy!

We are SO back: Szn 50 Ep. 1

Purim is approaching, which means one thing: a new Survivor season is upon us! Judy and Yoni begin their journey breaking down their third season of Survivor x Judaism by talking about the strategies of older players on Season 50, the most MAGA players on Season 50, and where they see the season going from here (Jewishly, of course). Then, they discuss Yoni finding an immunity idol in NYC, a Survivor legend's recent call out of CBS for "platforming antisemitism," and how the newest Gen Alpha slang will show up in Season 50. Enjoy! Happy Purim!! Eliza call out of Stephanie: link [https://www.semafor.com/article/02/22/2026/survivor-contestant-torches-cbs-ahead-of-50th-season-premiere ]
