Leonard Lopate: Former Yiddish Choir Boy
By Dan Friedman March 24, 2010
For 25 years Leonard Lopate has been interviewing and conversing with the world’s leading artists, novelists, chefs, scientists and politicians on WNYC, New York’s leading NPR station. After 20 years he was interviewed by Tom Brokaw and now, for his Silver Jubilee, here he is with the Arts & Culture editor of the Forward, Dan Friedman.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
