We’re back with a Director’s Cut of Jewish History Nerds, the 2x Signal Award winner, including the Listener’s Choice Award! This time, Yael and Schwab are digging into the mystery of sand floors in some synagogues in the Caribbean. In this segment, which didn’t make it into the original episode, they also explore how Jewish communities have picked up customs from their neighbors, adapting them with their own local flavor.
