Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
In this week’s podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by opinion editor Gal Beckerman, Forward fellow Naomi Zeveloff and staff writer Nathan Guttman to discuss the rent protests that are shaking Israel and the role these protest might play in Israeli politics. Then the group is joined by Daniel Septimus, the CEO and publisher of MyJewishLearning.com who recently wrote an op-ed arguing against the “peoplehood agenda,” which aims to cultivate a “special connection” between the Jewish people. Lastly, the group discuss the curious role of Israel in the ongoing race for Anthony Weiner’s old congressional seat.

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.
