Podcast appearances and mentions of rebecca federman

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast. It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight antisemitism and hate in the United States and around the world. New York is most certainly a frontline when it comes to antisemitism and hate as the state which is consistently home to the most antisemitic incidents across the nation, as well as the site of many hate crimes and home to many extremists. The mass shooter in Buffalo a few weeks ago is one horrific example. ADL's Center on Extremism together with our partner organization - the Community Security Initiative or CSI, has just put out a major new report, entitled “Hate in the Empire State: Extremism & Antisemitism in New York, 2020-2021.” It is a first-of-its-kind look at the state of hate in New York. Its author is Rebecca Federman. She is a Threat Intelligence Analyst for CSI who is physically embedded in ADL's Center on Extremism - a really meaningful partnership between two important organizations. She was the guest on this edition of "From the Frontlines." To read the full report, visit https://www.adl.org/resources/report/hate-empire-state-extremism-antisemitism-new-york-2020-2021. This podcast originally aired as a radio show on WVOX 1460 AM.

Paul Freedman, Chester D. Tripp Professor of History and Acting Chair, Department of History at Yale University, chats with Rebecca Federman, Culinary Collections Librarian at the New York Public Library.

We hear about the most popular dishes, regional differences in menus, and which dishes could make a modern-day comeback.
