**CORRECTION** We shared some misinformation about Judaism in this episode and one of our listeners, Daci Goldin, was kind enough to point it out. (Thanks, kween!)

You can find her full write up linked at the top of the page for episode 93 on our website.

For those who are interested, here’s the list of sources Monica used to put together this episode:
