Even those who do not know much Yiddish have probably heard the word “shtetl,” but what does that word mean exactly? Can we just say that it was a small town in Eastern Europe with a lot of Jews—and leave it at that? Or was the shtetl that nostalgic world of “tradition” so lovingly celebrated in Fiddler on the Roof? How are we to understand imaginary shtetls like Sholom Aleichem's Kasrilevke, where the “little people” ran around, talked non stop, and tried to make sense of a world they could no longer understand or control? Indeed the “shtetl” meant many things to many people. For many Zionists and Jewish leftists, the shtetl was a pathetic symbol of Jewish backwardness. Others cherished it as a place of real Jewishness, that fixed point that gave Jews in the diaspora the feeling of being home. The destruction of the Holocaust encouraged this nostalgia for the lost shtetl, especially as many Jews in the post-war world, newly comfortable and secure in their new homes, showed a new interest in their ethnic roots. In this lecture, YIVO Visiting Research Historian Samuel Kassow will explore the “real shtetl” and the “imagined shtetl,” which both formed an integral part of Eastern European Jewish peoplehood.

Margin is one of the most misunderstood concepts in trading. Some people treat it like free money. Others are terrified of it and avoid it completely. In this episode, I break down what margin really is — in simple, practical terms. You'll understand: • The difference between borrowing to buy stock and using margin to sell options • How buying power really works • What happens when you get assigned on a short option • Why margin can increase opportunity • And how it can quietly magnify risk if you don't respect it If you're selling options, running the Wheel strategy, or planning to generate income from the market — you must understand margin properly. Used correctly, it can be a powerful tool. Used carelessly, it can wipe out years of progress. This episode will help you think clearly, manage risk responsibly, and approach leverage like a professional — not a gambler.

Librettist and playwright Stephanie Fleishman and composer and playwright Alex Weiser sat down with "The Shmooze" to talk about their collaboration on "Tevye's Daughters." Their opera is based on Sholem Aleichem's iconic Yiddish stories, exploring the tragic death of Tevye's lesser-known daughter, Shprintse. The opera also traces the lasting impact of Shprintse's fate on her sisters as elderly immigrants living in New York. The opera will be performed at the Museum of Jewish Heritage on March 19, 2026.

A listener challenged me. “This sounds too good to be true.” Instead of brushing it off, I decided to address it directly. In this episode, I break down the actual strategy — step by step — and explain: Where the returns come from What risks are involved What assumptions people make when they hear certain numbers And when skepticism is healthy… versus when it becomes limiting Sometimes something really is too good to be true. And sometimes it only looks that way because we don't fully understand how it works. Before you dismiss it — listen to the full explanation.

Our journey begins in Madrid's Plaza de España, standing before the weathered bronze figures of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza as Miguel de Cervantes watches from above. We explore why this "Impossible Dreamer" became a profound symbol for the Jewish experience, from the 19th-century Yiddish schlemiel to the "Prince of Dreams" in modern Israeli pop. From the shadow of the Expulsion to the stages of Broadway, we trace the knight's journey and the "messianic yearning" that makes this 400-year-old character feel like a member of the Tribe.

In 2024, the image of Jake Retzlaff—the only Jewish quarterback ever to play for Brigham Young University's football team—adorned special editions of Manischewitz matzah boxes. That brand deal, to showcase a promising Jewish pro-football prospect, was the inspiration for a company co-founded by former Montrealer Jeremy Moses. His sports-marketing company is called Tribe NIL. (NIL stands for Name, Image and Likeness, a new monetization route for college athletes to make money off their work.) The company aims to boost the careers of hundreds of talented Jewish college athletes, including more than a half-dozen Canadians playing for U.S. college football, baseball, hockey, basketball and swim teams, among others. Moses was raised in Montreal. He's the middle son of retired Montreal Rabbi Lionel Moses and Yiddish scholar and editor Joyce Rappaport. His brother, Zev Moses, is the founder and executive director of the Museum of Jewish Montreal. Jeremy Moses moved to Brooklyn where he's worked in the sports and entertainment field. He and business partner, the comedian Eitan Levine, founded Tribe NIL last spring. This year, they're doubling down on the Manischewitz campaign, looking for one male and one female Jewish athlete to reward with $10,000 in prize money each, a “L'Cheisman Trophy” and international fame as this year's faces of Manischewitz matzah. On today's episode of The CJN's flagship podcast North Star, Jeremy Moses joins host Ellin Bessner to share more about his campaign—plus they get into the myriad Jewish sporting news of the week, including Jewish Olympians and Robert Kraft's controversial Super Bowl antisemitism ad.

Even a little Jewish mouse can have a huge impact on animation.The 1986 Don Bluth animated classic An American Tail, a film that became the highest-grossing non-Disney animated feature of its time and helped reshape the animation industry, is the first movie to celebrate this podcast's seventh birthday.The project began with a concept by David Kirschner that was first pitched to Jeffrey Katzenberg at Disney, but when it reached Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, the legendary director saw its potential as a feature film. Spielberg, making his first foray into animation, brought aboard Don Bluth, a former Disney animator whose 1982 film The Secret of NIMH had impressed him with its return to the lush, detailed style of classic Disney animation.The film's story held deep personal significance for Steven Spielberg. Fievel was named after Spielberg's grandfather's Yiddish name, and the narrative of Jewish immigration and escape from persecution in 1885 Russia drew directly from stories Spielberg had heard about his own family history.An American Tail doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of immigrant life in 1880s New York, either. The film portrays sweatshops, tenement poverty, political corruption, and exploitation, though it wraps these difficult themes in the accessible framework of a mouse family's journey to find each other in a new land.Don Bluth's unique animation style revolutionized the industry, proving that animation is a powerful medium for all ages, and should not be pigeonholed as just movies for children. An American Tail tackles serious themes like immigration, anti-Semitism and child slavery, making it relevant for audiences of all ages.An American Tail was a wake-up call for Disney, and the fact it beat (Basil) The Great Mouse Detective's box office takings, meant battle lines were drawn, and round one went to Bluth and Spielberg...Support Verbal DioramaLoved this episode?

Understandings of Black-Jewish relations have been notable for the near consensus among scholars that the Yiddish press repeatedly condemned discrimination and prejudice against African Americans, and highlighted the similarities between the situation of Jews in Eastern Europe and Blacks in America. This book argues that this view covers just a sliver of the varied representations of Black women and men. East European Jewish culture during the immigration era was not uniformly supportive of Black Americans as those interpretations suggest.Crude Creatures draws on a mixture of previously unexplored Yiddish press, theatre, and literature from Eastern Europe and the United States through 1929 to examine how Black Africans and African Americans were depicted. It charts a significant gap between the sincere condemnation of lynching, violence against Black Americans, and racial segregation on the one hand, and the ways in which Jewish authors, newspapers, playwrights, actors, and theater managers actually represented Black people on the other. While most East European Jews would not have seen a Black person before their arrival in America, they had already acquired preconceived imagery of Black people through rabbinic exegesis, pious advice, travel narratives (either original or adapted from other languages), folklore, scientific explorations, pulp literature, press reports, political rhetoric, and educational materials. Thus, Yiddish writers commonly described Black people as cannibals, oversexed, prone to violence, childlike, or just happy-go-lucky people.Crude Creatures provides a critical revision, correcting the accepted rosy narrative of Black women and men's portrayals in Yiddish culture, and highlighting what we can learn from these representations about how immigrant groups integrated their own cultures into American racial hierarchy and vocabulary.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

People often say, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” But is that always true? In this episode, I break down the question everyone asks when they hear about high returns: Is a 30% annual return realistic — or is it a red flag? We talk about: When “too good to be true” is a warning sign When it's simply a lack of understanding The difference between risk, skill, leverage, and consistency Why some real opportunities look fake — and some fake ones look safe How smart people confuse caution with clarity This isn't about selling promises. It's about learning how to think clearly, ask the right questions, and avoid both scams and missed opportunities. If you've ever felt torn between fear and curiosity when hearing numbers like this — this episode is for you.

“Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:19–20 NLT) Every now and then, it seems that my GPS has a mind of its own. I’ll be driving on the freeway, going to a destination where I’ve never been before, when suddenly my device tells me to turn right at the next off-ramp. It doesn’t make sense, but I turn right. Then it tells me to turn left, so I turn left. Then it takes me back to the freeway. What was that all about? It makes no sense at all. The Lord gave the Israelites an amazing GPS system: a fire by night and a cloud by day. It was very simple. When the cloud moved, they moved. When the cloud stopped, they stopped. At night, when the fire moved, they moved. When the fire stopped, they stopped. We might be tempted to think, “I wish I could have that kind of obvious guidance, because a lot of times I don’t know what I should do or where I should go.” But as believers under the New Covenant, we have something better than a cloud or a fire. We have Christ Himself living in our hearts. Every one of us who believes in Jesus Christ has God residing within us. We don’t need a fire in the sky. We have the fire of the Holy Spirit in our life, giving us the power to do what God has called us to do. As believers, we are not masters of our fate. We do not control our spiritual journey. The apostle Paul wrote, “Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body” (1 Corinthians 6:19–20 NLT). The Lord will lead us in the way that He wants us to go. Sometimes His will won’t make sense to us. Sometimes it may seem as though God is trying to ruin all our fun. But in time we will realize that God knew what He was doing all along. Unlike the GPS maps on our devices, we can’t plug in our destination coordinates for this life. That’s because we have no idea where it will take us. That doesn’t stop us from trying, of course. We may try to plug in where we would like to end up. Or where we’re planning to end up. But as the old Yiddish expression goes, “Man plans, and God laughs.” Proverbs 19:21 (NIV) puts it this way: “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” GPS devices aren’t always right, but God is. God’s way is always the right way. Reflection question: How can you trust God’s way even when it doesn’t make sense to you?

Moshe Gildenman was a civic leader and musician in a small Ukrainian town until — one day in 1942 — Nazis murdered 2,000 Jews in his village, including his wife and daughter. He escaped with his son, carrying a revolver, a handful of bullets and a Yiddish songbook. His story of resilience, resistance and revenge is told in a new book by UNC Charlotte musicologist James Grymes.

In this special long‑form conversation, Brett Barry sits down with legendary angler‑writer and publisher Nick Lyons, now 93, whose life has been shaped by water, words, and the Catskills. From a childhood spent catching frogs for pocket money to founding one of the most influential fishing imprints in America, Nick's story is a rare blend of grit, curiosity, and literary devotion.Recorded in Nick's home in Woodstock, this episode traces his journey from the Bronx to the Beaverkill, from boarding school loneliness to the rhythms of trout streams, from early rejections to a flourishing writing and publishing career. Along the way, Nick reflects on family, loss, love, teaching, and the deep satisfactions of a life lived close to rivers.In This EpisodeGrowing up in the Bronx with Yiddish‑speaking grandparents and bachelor unclesBoarding school memories and discovering fishing at Ice PondSummers at the Laurel House in Haines Falls — frogs, creeks, and Catskills loreSeeing the Hindenburg fly overhead as a childA difficult stepfather and moves from Mount Vernon to BrooklynThe Army years and the beginnings of serious readingFalling in love with literature at the New School, Bard, and the University of MichiganMeeting Mari — art, shyness, and a life partnershipEarly writing struggles and a breakthrough with Field & StreamFinding his voice: earthy, nimble, wry, and rooted in lived experienceFishing the Catskills — rhythms, hatches, freestone rivers, and memoryWhy salmon fishing never clickedTeaching for decades while building a parallel career in publishingReviving classic fishing literature and launching The Lyons PressThe rise of Sportsman's Classics and the explosion of modern fly‑fishing writingWhy he eventually stopped fishing and what he misses mostNick Lyons is one of the most influential figures in American angling literature — but his story is far larger than fishing.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 21, 2026 is: schmooze • SHMOOZ • verb To schmooze is to warmly chat with someone often in order to gain favor, business, or connections. // The event provides an opportunity for local business owners to network and schmooze. See the entry > Examples: "After wrapping up her speech filled with anecdotes and policy promises, the candidate schmoozed with the crowd, seemingly determined to shake every hand before her staff ushered her back to the bus." — Mike Kropf, The News Virginian (Waynesboro, Virginia), 4 Sept. 2025 Did you know? Schmooze (also spelled shmooze) schlepped into English from the Yiddish schmues, meaning "talk," which itself is from the Hebrew shěmu'ōth, meaning "news" or "rumor." Although originally used to indicate simply talking in an informal and warm manner, the word now commonly suggests conversation for the purpose of gaining favor, business, or connections. Schmooze is one of a number of English schm- words originating from Yiddish; other classics include schmaltz (referring to rendered animal fat or excessively sentimental music or art), schmuck (a slang word for "jerk"), schmutz ("a filthy or soiling substance"), and schmear ("a layer of cream cheese").

As migration carried Yiddish to several continents during the long twentieth century, an increasingly global community of speakers and readers clung to Jewish heritage while striving to help their children make sense of their lives as Jews in the modern world. In her book, Modern Jewish Worldmaking Through Yiddish Children's Literature (Princeton University Press, 2025), Miriam Udel traces how the stories and poems written for these Yiddish-speaking children underpinned new formulations of secular Jewishness. Udel provides the most comprehensive study to date of this corpus of nearly a thousand picture books, chapter books, story and poetry collections, and anthologies. Moving geographically from Europe to the Americas and chronologically through the twentieth century, she considers this emerging canon in relation to the deep Jewish past and imagined Jewish futures before reckoning with the tragedy of the Holocaust. Udel discusses how Yiddish children's literature espoused political ideologies ranging from socialism to Zionism and constituted a project of Jewish cultural nationalism, one shaped equally by the utopianism of the Jewish left and important shifts in the Western understanding of children, childhood, and family life. Modern Jewish Worldmaking Through Yiddish Children's Literature shows how Yiddish authors, educators, and cultural leaders, confronting practical limits on their ability to forge a fully realized nation of their own, focused instead on making a symbolic and conceptual world for Jewish children to inhabit with dignity, justice, and joy. Interviewee: Miriam Udel is associate professor of German Studies and Jewish Studies at Emory University. Host: Schneur Zalman Newfield is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Jewish Studies at Hunter College, City University of New York, and the author of Degrees of Separation: Identity Formation While Leaving Ultra-Orthodox Judaism (Temple University Press).

In this week's lecture, I explain how to protect yourself from a Black Swan event — unexpected events that can cause sudden and serious financial impact. I talk about why these events can't be predicted, what makes them so dangerous, and how smart planning, risk management, and diversification can help reduce their impact. The focus is on building resilience so that when the unexpected happens, you're better prepared and less exposed.

Klezmer music may have its roots in the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe, but it found a home here in NY in the 1920s and 30s, and the klezmer revival that began almost a half century ago was also centered in New York. Clarinetist Michael Winograd has been a major figure on the klezmer music scene for a couple of decades now, both as a composer and as a kind of music historian. His current project is a remake of a 1955 album that flopped at the time and is now considered a classic meeting of klezmer and jazz. That album was called Tanz!, Yiddish for dance, and Michael Winograd leads a stellar lineup of musicians to play some of the tunes, in-studio. 1.

Ever felt the tug to make something you can't find on the shelf? We sit down with attorney and mom-creator Courtney Cohen, whose Florida-to-Chicago journey led her to build a joyful Jewish lifestyle brand from a single sticker into a growing catalog of hats, tees, totes, and more. The throughline is Jewish joy—captured in weekly challah, kids who treat stickers like art supplies, and designs that turn bagels and Yiddish into everyday style.Courtney walks us through her unconventional path: eight years in PR, a leap to law, then the itch to create fun, modern Judaica, Da Shayna Punims, that isn't only for holidays or display cases. She shares how starting without a formal business plan forced fast learning, why bringing embroidery and printing in-house changed quality and timelines, and how she prototypes obsessively—auditioning fonts, testing placements, and refining until the piece feels right. We talk candidly about marketing in the age of algorithms, from TikTok's vibrant Jewish corners to the bizarre reality of bots dropping geopolitics into soup videos, and why focusing on real community beats chasing viral spikes.The conversation widens into representation and culture: the promise and pitfalls of Hanukkah movies, choosing Jewish actors for Jewish stories, and the simple rituals that anchor identity when the world feels loud. Courtney's big dream? Thoughtful expansion—dishware with a Kate Spade vibe, espresso cups with bagel wit, and traveling to markets like Jewish Joy Con to meet the people who wear and gift her work. Along the way, you'll hear lightning-round favorites, from beloved Yiddish words to the holiday that makes everything feel cozy.If you care about creative entrepreneurship, Jewish small business, and the craft behind products that make daily life brighter, this one's for you. Listen, share with a friend who loves bagels and good fonts, and tell us: what does Jewish joy look like in your home?

As migration carried Yiddish to several continents during the long twentieth century, an increasingly global community of speakers and readers clung to Jewish heritage while striving to help their children make sense of their lives as Jews in the modern world. In her book, Modern Jewish Worldmaking Through Yiddish Children's Literature (Princeton University Press, 2025), Miriam Udel traces how the stories and poems written for these Yiddish-speaking children underpinned new formulations of secular Jewishness. Udel provides the most comprehensive study to date of this corpus of nearly a thousand picture books, chapter books, story and poetry collections, and anthologies. Moving geographically from Europe to the Americas and chronologically through the twentieth century, she considers this emerging canon in relation to the deep Jewish past and imagined Jewish futures before reckoning with the tragedy of the Holocaust. Udel discusses how Yiddish children's literature espoused political ideologies ranging from socialism to Zionism and constituted a project of Jewish cultural nationalism, one shaped equally by the utopianism of the Jewish left and important shifts in the Western understanding of children, childhood, and family life. Modern Jewish Worldmaking Through Yiddish Children's Literature shows how Yiddish authors, educators, and cultural leaders, confronting practical limits on their ability to forge a fully realized nation of their own, focused instead on making a symbolic and conceptual world for Jewish children to inhabit with dignity, justice, and joy.

On this episode of On Broadway, I speak with Henry H. Sapoznik, a Peabody Award-winning coproducer of NPR's Yiddish Radio Project, about his book - The Tourist's Guide to Lost Yiddish New York City. The book offers a new look at over a century of New York's history of Yiddish popular culture, telling the story in over a baker's dozen chapters on theater, music, architecture, crime, Blacks and Jews, restaurants, real estate, and journalism. For the podcast, we focus on the chapter about the Yiddish theater.

Describe your 2025. My year and my 2025 podcast releaseschedule can be wrapped up in this Yiddish phrase, “Mann tracht un Gott lacht.” Man plans and God laughs.  Sounds much like Proverbs 19:21, “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.”I had planned to share a podcast episode each month in 2025.After April, that didn't happen! Listen in as I reflect on God's provision around my work life and my personal life in 2025. Consider the unexpected joys in your year as well as themesses that occurred, despite your hopes or your planning. Where was God while your year was unfolding? That question is worthy of our reflection as we consider the yearahead.Let's talk about a “posture” for 2026. Posture isn't a goal;it's an intention. Especially when life is messy, I've found adopting a posture to be so helpful. Consider your posture for the New Year. I've got an idea toshare, and I hope it encourages you to think about God's presence in your life in the past and the way you'd like to approach the future, knowing he'll meet you in every circumstance…the joys as well as the messes.Happy New Year!Resources:Proverbs 19:21: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2019%3A21&version=ESVInfo about GriefShare: https://www.griefshare.org/Lowen message on Surrender: https://www.wschurch.org/watchMy website: www.lorischlosser.comMy Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/lorischlosserspeaksMy Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/lorischlosserspeaks/Blessed in This Mess can be accessed on all major streamingplatforms, including Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify.

"What is this a crossover episode???" Yes, listeners, it is! This week, Esther and Erin are featuring an episode of the Heritage Words podcast, featuring friend of the pod Sarah Benor and Raphael Bob-Waksberg, creator of Bojack Horseman and Long Story Short. The bagels spoke to RBW earlier this year about creating the most Jewy show on TV.  In this episode, RBW discusses his Ashkenazi roots, exposure to Yiddish in pop culture, and how sharing specificity allows audiences to find universal connections. You can find Heritage Words anywhere you listen to podcasts. It's sponsored by the HUC Jewish Language Project and HUC Connect.

Happy Hanukkah ! אַ פֿרײלעכן חנוכּה Our normally happy Hanukkah programming was overshaddowed by the horrific massacre of Jews at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney, Australia's Bondi Beach.

Though it had a relatively quiet 1955 release, the klezmer album Tanz!, from Dave Tarras and the Musiker Brothers, is now considered a landmark of the genre. On the new album, Michael Winograd Plays Tanz! Live In New York City, Michael Winograd celebrates its legacy. He and his band will perform a few pieces live and talk about the album's influence on him, and preview a show Thursday evening at the Center for New Jewish Culture.

We dive into one of the most important parts of personal finance: building wealth that actually lasts.- Is it possible to grow wealth quickly?- How can ordinary people invest wisely in 2026?- What does it really mean to “pay yourself first”?- Which investing mistakes do most people make?To walk us through it, we sat down with Jonathan Shenkman, a financial adviser who has spent nearly two decades helping families take control of their money.He explains how to set up savings that run automatically, how to choose the right investment accounts, and why keeping things simple often beats trying to outsmart the market.We also talk about how to organize your accounts, communicate about money with your spouse, and spend in a way that feels both responsible and enjoyable.It is a straightforward, practical conversation that gives real-world guidance (not advice, duh) on how to save, invest, and live with financial peace of mind, with God's help.► THE BUSINESS ORGANIZER – Feeling stuck in your own business?
