This episode features a letter from “No Dice,” a listener in high school who is wondering whether or not to cut ties with her friends who had her enact a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid during a Dungeons & Dragons game. The episode features advice from Bintel, perspective from the past via the Forward’s archivist, Chana Pollack, and a special visit from Susan McCarthy and Marjorie Ingall, co-creators of the website SorryWatch.com, which tracks apologies in the news.
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 Season 2 of “A Bintel Brief,” the Jewish advice podcast. In “Dungeons and Dealbreakers,” a listener in high school writes in wondering whether or not to cut ties with her friends who had her enact a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid during a Dungeons & Dragons game. Bintel responds with wisdom, humor, and tasteful advice.
