Episode 99: Judge and Jewry

Episode 99

27th February 2013

Beca brings the case against her sister Jessica. They’re both proud of their Jewish heritage, but Jessica objects to Beca’s claim that they are both “part-Jewish” due to their ancestry. Jessica says that since she and her sister were raised in the Catholic faith, they can’t in good conscience call themselves “part-Jewish”. Who is right? Only one man can decide.
