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 mother struggling to respond to her children’s frustration over their Israel education. Ginna and Lynn are joined by Yona Shem-Tov and Leah Solomon of Encounter Programs.
