    As always, thanks to Logan for the intro music

    We have all read or heard about things in the bible if you do this thing, you’ll be put to death. How would that work in theory and practice? This episode will go into this topic and (hopefully) cover some of the following:

    * Death Penalty

    * Lesser Crimes

    * Witness testimony being false

    * Why is there no Jewish court these days?

    Plus we have some listener feedback I forgot about:

    I was thinking the other day about different words used in semi-formal contexts:

    my grandfather "went to temple" (not to synagogue)

    and I swear I never heard "shul" growing up

    And a news article: Haredi parties mull bolting coalition as Ben Gvir pushes Jewish prayer on Temple Mount

    Feedback

    If I were at your place on Friday night and when you kicked me out it was time for me to leave, would it be a real faux pas to pull my phone out to call a cab? or should I wait till I'm outside? out of your eruv? etc., and does the weather affect that?

    would it be a fauxxier pas because I'm sort of Jewish?

    and

    Can you put it (a Mezuzah - ed) on the inside of the door?
