In this week’s podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis talks with Washington correspondent Nathan Guttman about how Jewish organizations are reacting to Israel’s deportation of Sudanese refugees. Then, Forward editor Jane Eisner stops by to discuss if it is Americans’ responsibility to financially support ultra-Orthodox Jews who choose to study rather than work. Then, staff writer Ezra Glinter explains why he tried to watch all of Woody Allen’s films in one weekend. Finally, Forward fellow Naomi Zeveloff joins the conversation to explain Hasidic pop-musician Lipa Schmeltzer’s new, odd video.
