After a brief break due to Marla’s last minute trip to Israel, the girls are back and didn’t want to make you wait until a Thursday release. Libby shares about Maxine’s wedding, Purim festivities and fun restaurant experiences. Marla shares about her trip to Israel and updates in her dating life. This week the girls are thrilled to welcome Carly Weinstein!

She talks about Jewish geography and her typical NYC dating life.  She shares about how she went from competing in gymnastics to starting her first blog in high school and kept it going through college even when other people looked down upon her for it. She also talks about the importance of being honest and vulnerable on social media especially with how difficult the internet can be. The Schmuckgirls dive into Carly’s Jewish background and she shares about what her Jewish identity looked like as a kid versus now as well as the importance of her Jewish culture and how she made friends with Israelis through a penpal program. She also shares insight into how Jewish creators have fought back against antisemitism on TikTok. They end with a game of Cute or Cringe.  

You can find Carly on Instagram @carly_weinstein and Schmuckboys @schmuckboysofficial.

On Yom HaShoah, we speak of six million who were murdered. But I also remember the nine million who lived. Nine million Jews who got up every morning, took their children to school, and strove every day to survive, because they believed in life.

Gratitude

Gratitude is greatly emphasized in much of Jewish observance, from blessings before and after meals, the celebration of holidays such as Passover, a festival that celebrates liberation from slavery, and in the psalms.

Freedom’s Unfinished Journey

The seder table itself is a model of radical welcome: we are told explicitly to invite the stranger, to make room for those who ask questions and for those who do not yet know how to ask.

Thoughts on Security

For students at Jewish schools, armed guards, security gates, and ID checks are now woven into the rhythm of daily life.

Can Playgrounds Defeat Antisemitism?

The playground in Jerusalem didn’t stop antisemitism, and renovating playgrounds in New York City is not likely to stop it there, either — because antisemitism in America today is not rooted in a lack of slides or swings.
