The Jewish Bizarre - The Tonsil Riots and Other Jewish Uprisings

Dr. Eddy Portnoy and Dr. Tony Michels dive into the Tonsil Riots of 1906 - an uprising led by Jewish mothers in New York City after their kids were operated on without their knowledge- the Kosher Meat Boycott of 1902, and other Jewish protests that are absent from the cultural lexicon. Plus the largest funeral to ever occur in New York City, inventive uses for raw meat and a riot story from Dr. Tony Michels’ own life.
