Episode 488: Meat -- The Key to Jewish History? - John Efron

We’re back at the trough this week. Author John Efron joins Dan Libenson and Lex Rofeberg to share some of the findings in his latest book, All Consuming: Germans, Jews, and the Meaning of Meat. Efron encourages us to get on eye-level with the pig, from symbol to sinew, as a vital indicator of eating — and therefore living — Jewishly throughout history. This episode is the 2nd in an ongoing mini-series of Judaism Unbound episodes exploring Jewish history through meat (with an emphasis on pig)!
