Mamas’ Boys

Mamas' Boys - Ep: 5 - No More Mr. Nice Jewish Boy w/ Salvador Litvak & Mark Feuerstein

Even though episode 5 is our final one for this season, it was recorded shortly after the Bondi Beach attacks during Hanukkah. And despite the recording date, the discussion about Jewish men and protection remains relevant now. As antisemitism continues to show it's violent face, Jewish men are asking what does it mean to protect oneself and family? Should I carry a gun? We answer these questions and many more during our conversation with Salvador Litvak, writer and director, and Mark Feuerstein, star, of the movie, Guns and Moses (Amazon)Thank you to all of our listeners and supporters during this first season. Most especially, we would like to thank the Foundation for Jewish Life. Without their support as well as that of FJMC International and our committee, Mamas' Boys would not be possible. Without you we wouldn't haven't been so successful. At the moment we are looking for funding for season 2 and plan to bring you some more great conversations at the intersection of Judaism, masculinity and manhood. See you in Season 2 - The Mamas' Boys Team!

Mamas' Boys Ep 4: Dad.Gov w/ Governor Jared Polis

Truly an enlightening episode when Rob and Noam sit down with the Governor of Colorado and Jewish dad, Jared Polis. We talk about politics and young men, and their shift towards the right. And somehow the good Governor is impervious to our questions about masculinity and manhood. Remember to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and SHARE Mamas' Boys wherever you get your podcasts.
