In this week’s podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by the Forward’s Deputy Culture Editor, Naomi Zeveloff to discuss how the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Boro Park is coping, one year after the tragic abduction and murder of 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky. Then Forward intern Simi Lampert explains why she feels like she is bragging when she uses the word “fiancé.” Finally, on the occasion of Natalie Portman’s marriage, Naomi and Nate Lavey, Forward Digital Media Producer, renew their ongoing battle over the merits of the Jewish actress.
