What does your wife do?
When someone asked my husband recently, “What does your wife do?” My husband was at a loss for words to explain what it is I do on a day-to-day basis, some of which (my book, my essays, my blog, Facebook fan page, Tweets) my husband knows very little about.

Do Jews believe in an afterlife?
In another hilarious episode of Jew in the City, Allison Josephs answers: Do Jews believe in the afterlife? And do check out her article in The Jewish Press, “Extreme Makeover: Orthodox Edition” that explains why she’s on a public relations mission to revamp the imagine Jews and non-Jews alike have of Orthodox Jews.
