What did the Chassidic Rabbi say to the Jewish guy who grew up with Matzo and Easter eggs? The Zal is an informal conversation on (usually?) profound ideas found in and beyond Jewish life and traditions. Tune in with Adam Valen Levinson, Sociology Fellow at Yale, and Dovid Grossbaum, Rabbi at Chabad of Indiana. The Zal is sponsored in part by grants from The Bananaschewitz Foundation and Schmendl's Herring Deodorant.

35. Our Spy in Fast Cars

Lewis Franck is on a first-name basis with some of the great drivers of all time — but, you might ask... is this a NASCAR podcast now?* What makes racing bigger than just turning left a lot?

Lewis schmoozed, reported, investigated, philosophized. In the Zal, he tells us about the benefits of trespassing, what racing tells us about class and future (im)possibilities for egality, and how he gave bar mitzvah lessons in the Sistine Chapel.

We got metaphors baby.

Intro music: ("Indianapolis Song Forever!")

Better music: Zusha

*We do, however, love the movie Cars.
