Why do secular Jews love Passover so much? Is there archeological proof that the red sea parted? What happened to the Israelites who stayed in Egypt instead of following Moshe and Miriam’s tambourine? Why did Shoshana get accosted at the local kosher supermarket over mayonnaise? Lots of funny answers, anecdotes and sincere boomer appreciation in this very special episode of Ashamed to Admit.

What makes a Jewish wedding “Jewish?” The couple? The rituals? The contract? The person officiating? In this episode, Tami and Shoshana attempt to answer this question.
