Starting in 1906, the editors of the Forward answered reader questions in a column called “A Bintel Brief,” Yiddish for “a bundle of letters.” Now, we're bringing Bintel into a new era. Welcome to “A Bintel Brief,” the Jewish advice podcast. This week, the hosts answer a listener’s question about political ideology and boundaries. Lynn and Ginna are joined by the Forward’s archivist, Chana Pollack, who offers wisdom from the paper’s past.
Send your dilemmas about Jewish-American life, identity, culture, politics or your personal hopes and dreams to bintel@forward.com, or leave a voicemail at (201) 540-9728.
