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 advise a listener who recently learned that a mentor’s negative job reference likely cost the listener a job. Lynn and Ginna are joined by Morra Aarons-Mele, host of “The Anxious Achiever.”
