Lynn and Ginna return with a second episode of "A Bintel Brief." This week’s question comes from a woman concerned that her sibling’s children have been politically radicalized. The episode also features an appearance by Chana Pollack, the Forward’s archivist, who provides historical precedent for grappling with this modern quandary.
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.
