A Convenient Villain: From Lindbergh to Israel | ep. 138 
We love simple villains. In the 1940s it was Charles Lindbergh; in 2026, it’s Israel and ‘the Jews.’ In this episode of TheJewFunction, Dr. Jonathan Reich—cardiologist, aerospace engineer, and author of A Convenient Villain—shows how America turned Lindbergh into the antisemitic bad guy and quietly let the system that blocked Jewish refugees off the hook.

The Difference Between Being a Jew and an Israeli ep #137
Michael Isaac Shokrian grew up an Iranian-Jewish kid in 1970s Los Angeles, learning America while searching for a place to belong. In this episode, we explore identity, immigration, and the outsider’s perspective through his novel American Playground, and why he went on to create The Thieving Magpie—a literary home for voices that rarely fit neatly anywhere.

TJF #136 Why Smart People Believe Stupid Things About Jews?
Neuroscientist Zack Dulberg helps us explore a question that has haunted humanity for centuries: why does Jew hate keep returning across completely different cultures, religions, and political systems?c Drawing on neuroscience, moral psychology, and social cognition, Zack examines why societies create scapegoats, how moral narratives form, and why Jews continue to occupy a unique place in humanity’s imagination. Is antisemitism simply prejudice—or does it reveal something deeper about human nature itself?

Melissa Steinberg Brodsky pushes on the uncomfortable truth at the heart of Jewish belonging: the culture says “everyone is included,” until Jews show up as Jews.

TJF Talks #132 | Jessica Silverman - never again?
Lead Holocaust educator and author Jessica Silverman joins us to ask a haunting question: what haven’t we learned from the Holocaust, even now? Drawing on her family’s survivor story and her work with Teach the Shoah, Jessica challenges the way we remember, the dangers of forgetting, and the subtle ways indifference and dehumanization creep back into our world. If we mean “never again,” why do the same patterns keep returning—and what would it take to finally break them?
