welcome rachel and alex. rachel, let's jump in with you and ask , what is this thing idtyteh asses on jewish food and identity. i began by telling my students that food might be the most important subject in the world. all of the time. when i mentioned it, everybody is thinking about it. but it shapes our worlds and it shapes us physically and it shapes who we are. as individuals and communities, as families and as nations. >> it is interesting. alex, you think about food and you talk about food and write about food and you have created this new organization. what is this and what is this thing about food and identity? >> for me it has been interesting since i started this group 3 years ago. they are the not so secret society of they area, jewish food professionals. i created it after writing about jews who work in the food world and realize there are so many of us. and how we identify ? as a rabbi, living in the bay area there are so many jews who are not affiliated and never step foot into jewish institutions. whe

welcome back, alex and rachel. >> thank you. >>> we were talking about the notion of nostalgia and food. i'm wondering, alex, how you see that topic? >> whether you call it nostalgia or not for me, i think recipes can be so powerful in what we make for the holidays and jewish food in general, because it reminds us of ancestors that are maybe no longer living. when i cook a certain brisket recipe or apple cake recipe, it remind me of my mother, who is no longer living. that is very powerful for me to have these recipes she made. even if now i feel like cooking trends have evolved so much that apple cake is so passe, i make better things than that now. but just the taste of it can evoke memories of her and that is powerful, so i still make it sometimes. >>> why do you think a newspaper has a food column anyway? and why do you think we like reading about food in food columns and recipes? >> i think there is an ascent in food in the popular food culture. so many people are interested and chefs have become rock stars. that didn't used to become the case. people didn't want their children to

alex jones and be temporarily disbarred, and he had to leave. so it is this kind of bordello atmosphere. i don't know if anyone's seen or heard of rachel to say, oh, it's the first amendment or we just kind of came together spontaneously. but the prosecution will continually parry with the -- this is what you said, let's take the effing capitol, this is what you said after it, we just did it, et cetera. i mean, it's very strong evidence of the exact charge to trying to do it by force, seditious conspiracy. >> harry, how do you -- and of course we all watched and listened to ultra and rachel was here and she's great about talking about it and sort of pulling those historical parallels to what we're all living through. it's a wonderful reference. what did we learn from the oath keepers trial that will be the same in the proud boys trial and what will be different? >> we learned these are winnable. remember, the department as a checkered history. it's the last one that did. it lost with egg on its face. it's been about 20 years. but it's a "one foot in front of the other" charge, and it really is. this is not political rhetoric. they not
