Earlier this week, New York City Mayor Eric Adams insisted on the end of plea bargains for the perpetrators of antisemitic attacks and called out all forms of hate. To discuss New York City's efforts to combat the alarming rise in Jew hatred, Hassan Naveed, executive director of New York City's Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes (OPHC), joins to explain how his office coordinates agencies across the city to curb the rise of antisemitic hate crimes, the importance of tracking these crimes accurately to inform those efforts, and what motivates him to do this work. Then, we're joined by Mike Boxer, one of the members of the Jewish a capella group Six13, to share the group's new Elton John parody song just in time for Hanukkah: Elton Johnukah. ___ Episode Lineup: (0:00) Joshua Kramer (2:10) Hassan Naveed (24:37) Mike Boxer ___ Show Notes: If you're alarmed by rising antisemitism, you can take action right now by supporting AJC: visit AJC.org/donate, or text AJC DONATE to 52886.

The band is uniquely comprised of members from varied Jewish denominations and upbringings, creating an entertainment experience that has been universally acclaimed across the globe by Jewish organizations and individuals from equally varied backgrounds and generations.They have performed everyone from New York to Los Angeles, to Vienna and even the White House and this week they are coming to Marlboro, New Jersey to perform at Marlboro Jewish Center (tickets available at https://www.mjcnj.com/six13).Three of the guys took a few minutes to catch up with Rabbi Pont to talk about all things Jewish acapella and the role that SIX13 plays in the Jewish world.
This epsiode was going to be themed around light, because Diwali is coming up soon? And then it kinda turned into being themed around requests from CJ, a longtime HARK listener. And theeeen it kind of turned into a third thing? We listened to "Donner and Blitzen" by Thor and "Bohemian Chanukah" by Six13, with open hearts and minds. Some corrections: the light source is probably above them. Also we forgot about challah, and yes of course they already made it because they absolutely don't know better. The ranking music in this episode is "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. Thank you to CJ for the requests!
