The Kitchen Table

It’s not all about spinning the dreidel

Australia, Politics

What is it like marrying outside your faith? Is it just as terrifying as the decision to come out as a member of the queer alphabet, as a liberal voter to your Green parents or telling your meat loving heart’s desire that you are vegan?

Listen to this podcast to find out. It has its moments that’s for sure. In this episode the Kitchen Table team chat to Michelle, an Australian Jewish woman. Michelle chews the fat about what its like being a modern day Jewish person of faith, having a gay son and a brief soiree into the history of the Jewish people.

We talk about the Palestinian prisoner handover and the way Jewish people can be viewed in Australia.

Most importantly Shannon gets to eat lots of food that Michelle makes. The lovely duo create an orange almond cake, eat salted eggs, matzo and do something with apples and wine… that something was delicious.
