Treyf e18: Jews of Color Convening w/ Leo Ferguson & Hirut Eyob

It’s our ‘Chai’ episode!

We started it by talking about Italian Eurocommunism at the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA).

For the news segment, we were joined by Josh Nathan Kazis, staff writer at the Jewish Daily Forward, to talk about a growing scandal in New York City politics that reaches from the Mayor’s office to the orthodox communities of Borough Park and Williamsburg.

This episode contained a description-free Shkoyach, featuring discussions of kosher labelling and the contentious subject of raisin challah.

For the interview, we talked about the Jews of Color National Convening with conference organizer Leo Ferguson and Montreal activist Hirut Eyob.

Finally, Aviva Stahl’s recent article for Alternet’s Grayzone Project is our recommendation for the week. As usual, the show notes can be found here.
