Throughout the Canadian federal election, we're taking weekly breaks to think and talk about other things. On today's program, in light of ongoing debates in American pop culture, we'll be discussing the phenomenon of heteropessimism with a Toronto culture critic who is quite literally writing the book on it.Phoebe Maltz Bovy is a Toronto-based journalist, author, and podcaster. She's co-host of the Feminine Chaos podcast, opinion editor at The Canadian Jewish News, and a contributing columnist for The Globe and Mail. Her forthcoming podcast is The Jewish Angle.You can find Tara Henley on Twitter at @TaraRHenley, and on Substack at tarahenley.substack.com
Just 24 hours into Canada's federal election campaign, The CJN has put Jewish issues on the agenda. On Monday morning of Mar. 24, in a hotel near the Toronto airport, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre met with about 40 journalists from significant diaspora communities as part of a media roundtable reserved for “ethnic” news outlets—one of the first media opportunities since the federal election was called over the weekend. Poilievre fielded questions from outlets publishing in Mandarin, Punjabi, Ukrainian, Arabic and Vietnamese—and The Canadian Jewish News was there, too. While the focus was on Poilievre's general platform—including why he would be better to handle Canada's trade war with the U.S. than newly elected Liberal Prime Minister Mark Carney—he also explained how he plans to tackle hate crimes against Canada's Jewish community and address the Liberals' recently announced $100 million in aid for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. Hear what he has to say, on today's episode of _The CJN Daily _with host Ellin Bessner. What we talked about: Why the families of the Oct. 7 victims are suing the Canadian government for funding UNWRA, as is the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, in The CJN. How Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre spent the spring of 2024 courting Canada's Jewish community, on The CJN Daily. In 2023, Canada committed $100 million over four years in funding for UNWRA, in The CJN.

On today's episode, I'm excited to introduce Bernie M. Farber, an Ottawa-born writer, commentator, and tireless social activist. Bernie's work spans across multiple causes, rooted deeply in his personal history as the son of a Holocaust survivor. He's the former CEO of both the Canadian Jewish Congress and Veahavta, the Canadian Jewish humanitarian and relief committee. His commitment to human rights and social justice has seen him testify as an expert witness on hate crime, as well as serve as the CEO of the Mosaic Institute, a Canadian NGO dedicated to promoting pluralism, peace, and conflict resolution internationally. Bernie has also worked with the Paloma Foundation, focusing on homeless youth shelters, and his insights on human and civil rights have appeared in major outlets like the Huffington Post and the Canadian Jewish News. From 2018 to 2023, he chaired the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, and now serves as its founding chair emeritus. Bernie's drive for activism is rooted in a simple yet profound lesson from his father, a Holocaust survivor, who told him to “open a mouth” in the fight for freedom. Ladies and gentlemen, Bernie Farber.

Theodor Herzl is the father of the modern political Zionist movement, but the centrality of his vision to the founding of the state of Israel is less understood than it might be. Herzl was living an assimilated life in late 19th-century Vienna but continually came up against brick walls blocking his professional advancement. Because he was Jewish. He quickly formed the view that the Jewish people must transform from victims to masters of their fate. Putting pen to paper, he wrote essays, plays, and even one or two novels. His writing is turgid but important as it articulates a bold and modern political ideology that, in turn, became the spark for the organized Zionist movement. Herzl's spirit animal is David Matlow, who I am proud to call a friend. A Toronto lawyer, Matlow has amassed the largest collection of Herzl-related “stuff” in the world over decades. His fascination with Herzl began when he was a young boy visiting his grandparents every summer in Israel. The objects he has found over decades bring to life the man and his extraordinary legacy. Oy. And the stories. Matlow's collection fetish really took off with the advent of the internet—which also coincided with a remarkable find in a garbage bin in Jerusalem. Matlow has a gift for telling a good tale, and he has done wonders portraying the work, life, and legacy of Theodor Herzl. Until January 23, a small selection of his collection is featured in an exhibition at the Temple Emanu-El in New York. If you can get there, it is well worth attending. Our discussion is not only informative but, like David Matlow, engaging and fun. It is the perfect indulgence for this time of year. State of Tel Aviv is a reader-supported publication.

Herzl. Hockey. Because - why not? David was even kind enough to give me two pairs of socks with a hockey playing Herzl print. This figurine did not make it into the Exhibit.* The Norwegian sardines branded “Dr. Herzl.”* The locket notebook signed by “Benjamin”, as Herzl was known to his close friends. * The poster for the “All About Herzl” Exhibit at the Bernard Museum, Temple Emanu-El, New York City.* A few photographs from the exhibition. * David Matlow on one of many visits - I assume - to Herzl's grave in Jerusalem. If you look closely you will see that he is wearing the Herzl hockey socks.His brief bio is below.David Matlow practices law at Goodmans LLP in Toronto. He owns the world's largest collection of Theodor Herzl memorabilia (over 6,000 items), and his Herzl Project is designed to inform people about Herzl's work to inspire them to work to complete Herzl's dream. He is the chairman of the Ontario Jewish Archives and a director of the Center for Israel Education. In David's weekly Treasure Trove column in the Canadian Jewish News he showcases one historical item from his collection, which all together tell the story of Israel through “stuff".

Please consider donating to our #GivingTuesday campaign so that we can continue bringing you these important stories… Rabbi Adam Scheier says what happened to him in downtown Montreal on Sunday, Nov. 24—when a police officer saw the full-time kippah wearer silently watching and filming a nearby pro-Palestinian march, and ordered him to move along to avoid igniting any problems—shows “unacceptable and intolerable” conditions being demanded of his community. The spiritual leader of Congregation Shaar Hashomayim, the oldest Ashkenazi synagogue in Canada, founded in 1846, has subsequently been speaking out about the way his city's leaders have handled the local explosion of antisemitism during the past 14 months. In his view, the experience revealed how rather than enforcing the law and protecting the rights of Jewish people, authorities are now asking them to hide for their own protection—while crowds of mask-wearing demonstrators chanting hateful slogans have been given free reign on the streets. Scheier was out with his wife and daughters shopping for a birthday gift when he purchased a coffee at the Second Cup. He wanted to show appreciation for the café chain quickly cutting ties with its franchisee at the Jewish General Hospital after she was spotted making antisemitic gestures while shouting antisemitic slogans. The modern Orthodox rabbi subsequently met with senior police commanders and local politicians, although police will not say what they intend to do in response. On today's episode of The CJN Daily, Rabbi Scheier joins to describe his ordeal, in conversation with Joel Ceausu, the new Quebec correspondent for The Canadian Jewish News.

The CEO of the embattled Jewish National Fund of Canada, Lance Davis, insists he is now “running a very tight ship” in the wake of the Canada Revenue Agency's recent decision to strip the historic Zionist fundraising organization of its charitable status. Davis, who became JNF Canada's CEO in 2017, maintains that many of the government's longstanding concerns had already been addressed in years past. In an interview with The CJN Daily, Davis blasted the CRA for deliberately choosing the harshest punishment for the venerated Zionist charity, which has sent more than $200 million to beautify Israel and help vulnerable people there. He also argues the CRA rushed to pull the trigger on its status too early, given how JNF's legal dispute is still before the courts. However, documents obtained by The Canadian Jewish News paint a more nuanced picture of why the CRA lost its patience after a decade of "major concerns" about "repeated and serious non-compliance” with Canada's Income Tax Act rules. As reported in The CJN's print feature that digs into the paperwork, the auditors quietly told the Jewish charity several times that it needed to clean up its act, and by 2019, JNF Canada knew Ottawa was moving to revoke. Yet the charity still got five more years to comply. Lance Davis joins The CJN Daily to explain JNF Canada's point of view, then we're joined once again by charity law expert Mark Blumberg who helps explain how the charity got to this point, what could have prevented this scenario and why the government stopped waiting.

Since October 7th, antisemitic incidents in Canada have been on the rise. Toronto Police Deputy Chief Robert Johnson said that nearly half of all hate crimes so far in 2024 have been antisemitic. In a single week in May, a girls' school in Toronto was shot at, bullets were found outside a Montreal Jewish school inside a synagogue, and a Vancouver synagogue was set on fire. While no one was hurt, it left Canadian Jews feeling unsettled. And over the Canada Day weekend, two synagogues in Toronto were vandalized.Ellin Bessner is an investigative journalist who hosts the Canadian Jewish News' daily podcast, The CJN Daily. She's on the show to talk about how Jewish Canadians have been affected by this rise in antisemitism.Questions? Comments? Ideas? Email us at thedecibel@globeandmail.com
Reading List* The Lure of Divorce, by Emily Gould* Goulded Cages, by Phoebe Maltz Bovy* The Sad Young Literary Man Is Now a Middle-Aged Dad, by Elizabeth Weil* Can polyamory save this marriage? by Phoebe Maltz BovyMy guest on today's episode, which is part of my ongoing double secret probationary special series on the state of the discourse late winter/early spring 2024, is New York born, Toronto-based writer Phoebe Maltz Bovy.I reached out to Phoebe after reading her short post on Substack about the recent big, long, splashy essay by Emily Gould about Gould's descent into bipolar-induced mania, her separation from her husband (writer Keith Gessen), their eventual hard-won reconciliation, and the complex ways in which her feminist analyses of the problems in their marriage were much less useful and clarifying than they initially seemed.Phoebe writes:Gould … steeps herself in the men-are-bastards literature of the past years/decades, and concludes, “This was not quite the way I felt.”I cannot emphasize enough, having read many such items for researching-straight-women purposes, what a tremendous break this is from business as usual. Because if you're a 40ish straight or straightish woman, you're meant to feel one thing.Gould tries to funnel her angst-and-then-some into the expected feminist narrative, but is stymied by her realizations that she's done a lot of bad things, and that her husband, too, is a person. She looks at the facts on the ground and isn't able to blame the patriarchy for her own messy blend of mental illness and bad choices.Phoebe and I talk about Gould and Gessen, the unglamorous realities of the writing life, how much cultural capital is worth compared to actual capital, and Phoebe's review of the recent polyamory memoir by Molly Roden Winter.Phoebe Maltz Bovy is the author of The Perils of “Privilege” (2017).

Since Oct. 7, Jewish media outlets have skyrocketed in popularity. Comparing website traffic in November 2023 against November 2022, we here at The Canadian Jewish News saw visitors nearly double. What's more—those new heights have held strong ever since. It's a bittersweet byproduct of Israel's war with Hamas, and the subsequent spikes in antisemitism worldwide, which has captivated and unified Jewish communities around the globe in solidarity with the Jewish State. But the flip side to this heightened engagement—and more emotionally intense reporting—has been taxing for journalists. And while web traffic is nice, it doesn't solve the fundamental financial problems inherent to the media industry writ large. Earlier this week, Laura E. Adkins, the opinion editor of the Forward, resigned her position to join Jewish Women International, in part moved by the impacts of Oct. 7 on Jewish women and girls and the denials of Israeli women being sexually assaulted. She joins to discuss the future of Jewish media as she sees it—and also chat about one of her most recent articles, covering the sexual assault scandal surrounding prominent Jewish leader Rabbi Art Green.

Segal Award for the best Quebec book on a Jewish theme. It also received the Prize UQAM-Respatrimoni in heritage studies. Her forthcoming monograph, For Women and Girls Only: Reshaping Jewish Orthodoxy Through the Arts in the Digital Age, investigates how music, films, and media made by ultra-Orthodox and former ultra-Orthodox women act as agents of social, economic, and cultural transformation and empowerment, and as spaces that challenge gender norms, orthodoxy, and liberalism. For this research, she was awarded the Cashmere Award from the AJS Women's Caucus (2021) and the Hadassah Brandeis Institute Research Award (2021).

It seems like discussions of antisemitism have devoured a larger share of the Jewish community's mental bandwidth in recent years. It dominates the headlines in every Jewish publication, and the social media from Jewish organizations. It's what we talk about at the dinner table, in synagogues, on the internet, when we lie down and when we rise up. On this episode of The CJN's weekly current affairs podcast Bonjour Chai, we're asking: Why has it become such a major preoccupation of our communal conversation? And which conversations about Jewish life are being crowded out? In their search for answers, Avi Finegold and Phoebe Maltz Bovy do a deep dive into the archives of The Canadian Jewish News. They also discuss thrifting while Jewish: how to juggle the joys of bargain hunting for vintage clothes—while avoiding a Jewish stereotype.

When Canada went into COVID lockdown in March 2020, the weekly newspaper version of The Canadian Jewish News also stopped publishing, shortly afterwards. Advertising dried up, as community events were all cancelled. The CJN offices were shuttered. Staff was laid off—including editor-in-chief Yoni Goldstein. But within weeks, Goldstein realized he could not let the award-winning institution simply disappear after 60 years. The CJN would have to pivot and modernize. Plus find new and different ways of connecting with loyal readers, while reaching new audiences through social media, email newsletters and podcasts. Coming up to three years since those dark times, Goldstein joins The CJN Daily to reflect on why reviving the paper was personal, how far it's come, and to announce some exciting developments for 2023—and where you come in.

July 12, 2021 - Imagine you're Jewish during the Second World War, but safely in bed an ocean away from Nazi Germany, secure in the vastness of Canada. Would you march into the heart of the Third Reich, risking your life to stare down Hitler's war machine, for a country that didn't consider you a fully loyal and equal citizen? In this episode, we meet the heroes that Canadian Prime Minister Mackenzie King said faced a "double threat" from Axis evil: Not just Fascism, but their survival as a people. Our guide on this journey is Ellin Bessner, a professor of journalism at Centennial College in Toronto and the author of Double Threat: Canadian Jews, the Military, and World War II. Although Canada had turned away European Jews desperate to escape the rising tide of anti-Semitism -- and while those already in Canada found doors to many jobs and universities slammed in their faces -- when war came, an huge numbers answered the call to fight, defying bigotry and earning valor that has been shamefully forgotten.

Episode Notes Introducing These Are a Few of My Favourite Jews, a new podcast by comedian Laura Leibow and The Canadian Jewish News. Twice a month, Leibow will bring on a guest to chat about their favourite Jewish person. Hopefully, someone will learn something about somebody who's Jewish.
Welcome to Episode 27 of Hatradio! with our guest, Benjamin (Benjy) Shinewald. A question I always ask myself when I write these blurbs is, why did I bring this particular person on Hatradio! I'm not willy-nilly about my choice of guests. Not at all! I am very particular in fact, as I want to interview folks who are articulate and can express their narrative in a cogent fashion. I delight in schmoozing with a man or woman who has a colorful past. And mostly I enjoy nice people who are thoughtful and by definition, inspiring. All of that being said, Benjy was an obvious choice 0as a guest because he is a fine person who is highly inspiring. He has a sweet disposition and from what I know about him through the time we worked together at Ve'ahavta (Benjy is on the board), and when he was the CEO of Canadian Jewish Congress, Benjy has always displayed generosity of spirit - a trait that is paramount to the strengthening of our world. A good example of that, is Benjy's thoughts on his memorial article in the Canadian Jewish News having to do with his Jewish school teacher, the late Mr. Berger. Benjy didn't eulogize the man as if he was a superstar or a hero. Instead he recognized the passion his teacher had for the kids and for learning and turned that into something organically epic, small town big. He reminded us that our teachers, often lead us intellectually and ethically, quietly, stick in hand, in a way that can impact on us forever. And we can imagine Mr. Berger's leadership. And that image parks itself on a shelf somewhere, deep down in our soul. That generosity of spirit is a big deal in our day and age, in fact at any time in history. It's the niceness, the decency, the caring for others that allows our world to edge forward ever so slightly, a step at a time. Listen to this show. Be conscious of Benjy's compliments for his family (especially his 106 year-old grandma), his colleagues and the kind words he directs toward me. It's subtle but incredibly important. We like people like that. Mostly, they are the ones we want to make our friends. The other thing that compelled me to ask Benjy to be a guest is that he is bright. The man has developed his intellect. Not so much like a Talmudic scholar, but more so like a well-read neighbor, with a fertile curiosity and a drive to know and uncover. You'll detect this in our guest a number of times when he replies to a question, "I haven't really thought of this", or "Good question, Avrum". It's clear from these short retorts, that Benjy did not come Hatradio! to simply toss out answers to stuff. He's not fluffy. Benjy was there to share with us truths he'd arrived at or postulations he'd mulled about, or to say, "I don't know". We had an honest, thoughtful dialogue, one which I believe will compel the listener to consider alternatives. There's a lot more to the interview like: Benjy's many trips abroad and visits to synagogues in far away lands like Beijing, where he saw a mother-of-pearl inlaid ark; like his no-holds-barred challenge to Jewish leadership for being somewhat namby-pamby in its response to anti-Semitism; like his 9-year old wonderment and magical thinking, as to why his tie-wearing Dad, the boss, didn't ride the forklift at his work all day instead of administering systems from his office. And yes, we're privy too, to Benjamin's work on the Privy Council and his toil today bringing green to buildings in Canada and around the world. I chose Benjamin Schinewald as a guest on Episode 27 of Hatradio! because there are aspects of his character that I'd like to emulate, and suspect others would as well. Again, this father of two girls, is a decent sort full of love for all personkind, caring and he's bright with the nuts to be contentious. And yes, Benjy is a tad off balance just like the rest of us. But that just adds to the layers of excitement in our schmooze. Enjoy! It's a good show. I liked doing it with Benjy. Please share it with others and be in touch with any questions or suggestions for guests at info@hatradio.ca. Hatradio! The show that schmoozes (with regular folk). __________________________________________________________________________ Thanks to David Nefesh for the Hatradio! blues song.

In February 1943, hundreds of German women joined in a spontaneous protest in central Berlin. They were objecting to the roundup of some of the city's last Jews -- their husbands. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the Rosenstrasse protest, a remarkable example of civil disobedience. We'll also ponder whether a computer can make art and puzzle over some unusual phone calls. Intro: Between 1946 and 1953, British wordplay maven Leigh Mercer published 100 immortal palindromes in Notes & Queries. In 1933 English sculptor John Skeaping recorded his opinions of his contemporaries inside a horse of mahogany.

The CJN is launching a bimonthly podcast, wherein hosts Alex Rose and Michael Fraiman discuss the biggest stories facing our community. On our first episode, hosts Alex and Michael invite CJN Reporter Ron Csillag talk about his recent cover story on a groundbreaking new survey, which offers a never-before-seen glimpse into Canadian Jewry. They also chat about a feud in Prince Edward Island, which grew so heated that one newspaper columnist quit his job after being called a “Zionist goon”. Finally, they ask if Jews really need to worry about the bizarre anti-Semitic float in Aalst, Belgium. The Canadian Jewish News podcast is hosted by Alex Rose and Michael Fraiman, and edited by Michael Fraiman. The intro music is “Robot Gedonist” by Vanya Zhuk, and outro music is “Hungaria” by Latché Swing.
Bernie Farber is a well known human rights activist, a writer and Jewish leader. He has courageously challenged white supremacists and worked along side Native Canadians through his partnership with philanthropist, Michael Dan. Bernie's motivation to: chair Ve'ahavta: The Canadian Jewish Humanitarian & Relief Committee, teach local police ways and means of dealing with hate crimes, work at Canadian Jewish Congress from 1984-2011, and ultimately become its CEO, and so much more, stems from a lessons in life he was taught by his father Max RIP, a Holocaust survivor and only remaining Jew from his village. His Dad, who owned a food store minutes away from Parliament in Ottawa, told Bernie, if he wanted to change things in this world, fix it, he'd have to "open a mouth". Open a mouth Bernie did. His opinions and thoughts about fighting anti-Semitism can be read in articles he's penned for The New York Times, Toronto Star, Huffington Post, NOW Magazine, Canadian Jewish News and many more publications. He has acted as an expert witness in cases against Holocaust deniers and led the Paloma Foundation, an organization that worked with youth and homeless shelters and ran for the Liberal party in 2011 . Bernie's accomplishments go on and on. Listen to episode 10 of Hatradio! and learn about Bernie's awesome recipe for chicken. Hear about his friendship and work with Larry Tenenbaum and former Canadian prime minister, Paul Martin. Hear Bernie sing a song about peace originally sung by Joan Baez. Discover the hit-list Bernie was on and how he was ultimately saved by a CSIS mole. And be privy to his feelings about his beautiful wife, kids and family, some of whom perished in the Holocaust. "Open a Mouth" is one of those podcasts you don't want to miss. It's about one of Canada's leading Jewish leaders who just never keeps quiet. Hatradio! The show that schmoozes.
While in the Canadian military, I was in Croatia and Bosnia during the war there and was able to see first hand what happens when political extremists take control. After that war, I also worked for the war crimes unit of Citizenship and Immigration Canada and the International War Crimes Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. While working at Nanyang Tech University in Singapore, I published a sole author book in national security intelligence requirements. This past year I co-authored the book, "SUBMISSION: The Danger of Political Islam to Canada – With a Warning to America, written with co-authors Tahir Gora, Saied Shoaaib, Jonathon Cotler, and Rick Gill with a foreword by Raheel Raza. Therefore, my interpretation of what the Canadian Jewish News is doing in this specific case is based on an analysis of many of their articles concerning the emerging threat of the Islamists to the Jews. Are Jews who read publications like the CJN getting a good look at what is going on in their own backyard? Or are they being subjected to intentional distraction. The scariest part is history repeating itself. Again. Did the Jewish community learn nothing in the 1920s and 1930s about keeping an eye out for the future?

In this episode of Waking Up Bipolar, Chris Cole speaks with Matthew Gindin—freelance journalist, former Buddhist monk, educator, meditation teacher, and friend of the late Michael Stone. Michael Stone was a dharma teacher with an international sangha, a social and environmental activist, hatha yoga instructor, husband, father, author, and the embodiment of a life driven by heart-centered action. In addition to the miracle that is the life of Michael Stone, he occupied a bipolar body. I came across today’s guest, Matthew Gindin, when reading his article for the prominent Buddhist publication, Tricycle Magazine, titled, “Putting to Rest the Myth of the Heroic Self." Read the entire article here: https://tricycle.org/trikedaily/putting-rest-myth-heroic-self/ In addition to the moving words from Matthew, I was struck with a lightning-like evocation by the message from Michael’s life partner, Carina Stone, in an official statement from the family. She wrote, “As versed as Michael was with the silence around mental health issues in our culture, he feared the stigma of his diagnosis. He was on the cusp of revealing publicly how shaped he was by his disorder and how he was doing.” Read the full statement here: https://www.lionsroar.com/official-statement-on-passing-of-michael-stone-released/ If you feel moved to do so, a gofundme page has been created for Michael Stone’s family. Please consider a donation here: https://www.gofundme.com/carina-stone-family-fund As you’ll hear in our discussion, Matthew’s life has been touched in deeply poignant ways by this intersection of mental illness and spiritual unfolding. In this interview, I did not hear one word uttered from Matthew’s lips that did not pour from the oceanic depth of heart-centered dharma. Matthew Gindin, formerly a Buddhist monk, is a journalist, educator and freelance writer located in Vancouver, BC. He is the Pacific Correspondent for the Canadian Jewish News, writes regularly for the Forward and the Wisdom Daily and has been published in Tricycle: The Buddhist Review, Religion Dispatches, Situate Magazine, and elsewhere.

We were on this week's episode of Canadaland, talking about the politics of Jewish media with the editor of the Canadian Jewish News. Enjoy!
We're seeing a simultaneous backlash against both the media and the Jewish community. And there's a place where the two intersect. Is there an over-concentration of Jews in the media? Well, yeah, probably. So? We speak with Yoni Goldstein of the Canadian Jewish News, and Sam Bick and David Zinman of the Treyf podcast about Jewish media in Canada, and what its future looks like.Support CANADALAND: https://canadaland.com/joinSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
As part of our one-year anniversary special last month, we spoke with Yoni Goldstein - editor of the Canadian Jewish News. Unfortunately the episode went long and we weren't able to fit it, so here it is! For the special occasion, we made efforts to find areas of common ground before diving into our usual disagreements. Our conversation covered the important topics of: secret caverns underneath David and Yoni's high school, Sam and Yoni's similar starts in journalism, white Jewish men trying to style their curly hair, and the reason 'leftist' voices in the CJN are only ever Zionist. Show notes: https://www.treyfpodcast.com/2016/09/28/short-cjn-editor-yoni-goldstein/
On this week’s episode: we cleared the air on statements made about Jewish hockey players, condemned the Canadian Jewish News’ questionable news coverage, and talked about grogger’s (yet again). We spoke with +972 journalist Mairav Zonszein about what got lost in the conversations about Trump’s speech at the AIPAC conference. Shkoyakhs were given to BDS activists in Oshawa, Ontario, and to a robot who infiltrated an Open Hillel event. Sigal Samuel, the Forward’s Opinion Editor, joined us for the Interview. We talked about Mizrahi-Palestinian Solidarity, and the popularity of intersectionality in the North American Jewish press. Our recommendation goes to the Independent Jewish Voices' Statement of Support for the Blacks Students Network at McGill University.

On this episode: we talk about colonial holidays, anti-muslim campaigning, and follow up on our two critically acclaimed segments, BDS Watch Watch and Who’s Invoking the Holocaust Now? [ #WITHN ] . We discuss recent claims of anti-semitism at the McGill Daily, try to understand Ben Carson’s holocaust theories, and share our mixed feelings about the Canadian Jewish News. We end the show with Amanda Lickers, highlighting the ongoing struggle led by indigenous women against the city of Montreal’s plan to dump massive amounts of sewage into the St. Lawrence River. Show Notes: https://www.treyfpodcast.com/2015/10/21/episode-08-the-last-time-well-mention-elexn42/
On this episode: David theorizes about Harry Potter's anti-Semitism, and Sam asks if there’s any difference between politicians' Rosh Hashanah greetings. We discuss the Federation CJA’s failed attempt at online advertorials, and the Quebec government’s new legislation that targets Muslims. We're then joined by Yoni Goldstein, editor of the Canadian Jewish News, to talk about partisan politics and the discourse of Jewish media, as well as his role in changes at Canada’s largest Jewish newspaper.
