The Schmuckgirls are back with Season 3 but this time, things look a bit different. While we will get back to fun dating-filled episodes soon, it felt important to us to use our podcast to help share about the stories and work from different Jewish activists. So to start off season 3, Libby and Marla are bringing you a mini-series related to all things Israel and antisemitism. Our first guest is May Perez, an Israeli actress, singer, and dancer whose been working tirelessly to raise awareness for the over 200 hostages in Gaza. In this episode, May shares briefly on her experience in the IDF as well as what it means to be a woman in the Israeli army. She also tells the stories of some of the very brave and smart Israeli women who helped to save countless lives on October 7th. She then discusses how Palestinian women in Gaza are treated by Hamas, as well as some of the horrific ways Israeli women were specifically targeted in the Oct 7th attack. The trio also dives a bit into how to deal with people on social media who don’t know what they’re talking about.
