261. The Unlikely Story of the Black Hasidic Jew

Sara Braun is in the unusual situation of being both black and ultra orthodox Jewish. How did this come about? Who in her family was Jewish? And how does she fit her extravagant, curious and outlandish personality with the insular, secretive and traditional sect? She's absolutely wonderful, so please leave a like, and get her book, That Black Hasidic Lady: A memoir of a dark-skinned Hasidic woman.

What makes you a heretic? Journalist Andrew Gold believes that, in an age of group-think and tribes, we need heretics - those who use unconventional wisdom to speak out against their own groups, from cancelled comedians and radical feminists to cult defectors and vigilantes hunting deviants. Learn from my guests how to rebel, think differently and resist social contagion. From Triggernometry's Francis Foster and the world's most cancelled man Graham Linehan to Robbie Williams and gender critical atheist Richard Dawkins. These are the people living with the weight of their own community's disappointment on their shoulders.
