Welcome back after the summer break. In this month's edition of Sounds Jewish, I'm joined by fashion designer Sara Berman and writer and film maker Naomi Gryn.
We ask the former editor of Ha'aretz.com Peter Hirschberg whether Israel could be about to have a woman PM.
We speak to the Queen of Comedy, Joan Rivers, about her new, autobiographical show in London – and find out why she really doesn't like John McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin.
Plus: is the Holocaust a suitable subject for a film aimed at children? We discuss the new, Disney-distributed film The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
And finally, it's that time again. The Jewish New Year is looming, and we're faced with some tough decisions: what to wear – and what not to wear in synagogue.
PS Don't forget to look out for the JCC's US elections debate, weighing up which candidate - Obama or McCain - would be best for Jews, in the Middle East and beyond. The Guardian's Jonathan Freedland will be debating with the Daily Mail's Melanie Phillips at the Hampstead Town Hall on 12 October.
