The Forward‘s podcasts pull back the curtain on various aspects of Jewish life and culture. Make Art Not War is our newest audio offering exploring the roles that music, theater, dance, film, comedy, poetry and visual expression are playing in communal grappling with the conflict in the Middle East.
Make Art Not War
Streaming
In our increasingly chaotic and polarized world, where extremists wrestle to control narratives, artists can help us redefine them. War is the opposite of imagination; art is where imagination lives. Hosted by Libby Lenkinski, an Israeli-American activist who has spent decades working with Israeli and Palestinian creatives, Make Art Not War explores how Jewish and Palestinian artists in Israel have experienced this year of war, and how it has affected their creation.
That Jewish News Show
That Jewish News Show is a smart and thoughtful look at the week in Jewish news from the journalists at the Forward, which has been driving the American Jewish conversation since its founding in 1897. In each episode, hosts Laura E. Adkins, the opinion editor, and Benyamin Cohen, the news director, bring you beyond the headlines and interview the newsmakers behind those stories.
Playing Anne Frank
Limited Series
Using archival material and interviews with surviving cast and crew members, Forward executive editor Adam Langer presents a story that’s never been told: the backstory of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play and Oscar-winning film, The Diary of Anne Frank, and how this iconic work shapes those involved in performing it — including high school students putting the show on today.
A Bintel Brief
Seasons one and two now streaming
In 1906, the Forward started A Bintel Brief, Yiddish for “A Bundle of Letters.” Now our classic Jewish advice column is a podcast. Our co-hosts, two very different Jewish mothers, dish on the dilemmas of Jewish-American life, identity, culture and politics.
