About this episode
This week on Unorthodox, we're still recovering from all the Jewish holidays. Our Jewish guest is Benyamin Cohen, host of the weekly podcast " Our Friend from Israel ." He's also the guy who manages the official social media feeds for Albert Einstein , which might just be the best job ever. He tells us about tweeting for the late genius , plus his journey into megachurches while writing his 2009 book, “ My Jesus Year: A Rabbi’s Son Wanders the Bible Belt in Search of His Own Faith. " Our gentile of the week is Wall Street Journal sports columnist Jason Gay , who returns to the show to talk unconventional baseball propositions , Yiddish colloquialisms, and the other Ben Cohen.
