<p>This week we are headed to Israel: a country rich in culture, religion, and babka! Jamie kicks off the episode diving into the history of how the country was formed as well as some of the most exciting things to do while you're visiting from salty baths in the Dead Sea to delicious eats from Carmel Market. Then, Cassidy rounds the episode out with some cryptids straight from the bible—the Leviathan and Behemoth. Whether crocodile or dinosaur, the Leviathan is thought of as one of the first cryptids in history and one of the most fearsome sea monsters.</p>
