Reporters’ Roundtable: The Freedom Flotilla; Conservative Rabbis, Gay Marriage
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
The efforts by activists to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza, and the implications of New York’s recent passage of same-sex marriage legislation on Conservative movement clergy are the subjects of this week’s podcast. Host Josh Nathan-Kazis speaks with Forward opinion editor Gal Beckerman and with Joseph Dana, who is reporting from Athens on the “Freedom Flotilla,” and with Forward reporter Naomi Zeveloff. Then in final segment, The Best Jewish Story That Didn’t Make The Paper, the Roundtable considers the Yiddishkeit of a town in North Dakota.
