Intrepid Reporter: Utah native Naomi Zeveloff conducts an interview for her story about a failed Jewish farming colony in the American West.
This week, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Forward staff writer Nathan Guttman and Forward Fellow Naomi Zeveloff to discuss Israel’s security and its relationships with the Arab world after protestors knocked down a wall outside of Israel’s embassy in Cairo. Then, Democrat David Weprin was defeated by Republican Bob Turner in a special election for Anthony Weiner’s congressional seat in a race in which Israel was a major issue. Lastly, Naomi talks about a recent trip she took to a failed Jewish farming colony in Utah and why Mormons are fascinated with Jews.

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.
