Food for Thought: Election Commercials, Kosher Tourism in Jamaica, and Fasting Before Purim

3 March 2023

VOI Knesset Insider Jeremy Saltan joins Josh Hasten in-studio to discuss the "home stretch" of Israel's election season -- and the launch of the official TV and radio campaign commercials.

Then, Rabbi Ya'akov Raskin -- the Chabad rabbi in Montego Bay, Jamaica -- joins Josh to offer a taste of Judaism, literally and figuratively. He talks about providing kosher meals, Shabbat services and other treats to Jewish tourists on the resort island. Hear about his work in "paradise."

Finally, why do some Jews fast on the 13th day of the month of Adar, leading up to the Purim festival? Rabbi Guy Avihod discusses the many reasons for abstaining from food and drink before the joyous holiday.
