A weekly digest of the big stories around the Jewish world, through a Jewish Journalist lens.
17 GIU 2024 · Many of us have watched college campuses around the country erupt in protests, with tent camps being set up on greenspaces calling for universities to disclose and divest from companies that do business in Israel. But when do the chants, signs and graffiti cross the line from first-amendment-protected free speech to something more nefarious? This week, we talk about this with Professor Jane Kirtley, a lawyer, and the director of the Silha Center for the Study of Media Ethics and Law at the Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Minnesota.
Resources we discussed:Counterman v. Colorado: https://www.oyez.org/cases/2022/22-138
Books:
Nadine Strossen: Hate: Why We Should Resist it with Free Speech, Not Censorship
Anthony Lewis: Freedom for the Thought That We Hate: A Biography of the First Amendment
Nat Hentoff: Free Speech for Me - But Not for Thee: How the American Left and Right Relentlessly Censor Each Other
Stanley Fish: The First: How to Think About Hate Speech, Campus Speech, Religious Speech, Fake News, Post-Truth, and Donald Trump

22 DIC 2022 · This week: It’s the last episode of the year, and a sort of follow up to both last year’s Hannukah Sucks episode, and this year’s State of the Union episode. After all, the holiday season can be a wonderful and frustrating time for Jews. So I have a chaotic chat about it with some of my coworkers here at Jewfolk.

8 DIC 2022 · This week: It’s time to revisit the story of hasidic yeshiva schools in New York City having poor secular education. After all, it’s important not just to understand what is happening, but why and how things came to be this way. So I talk to sociologist Matty Lichtenstein about her research on hasidic yeshiva advocacy.

27 NOV 2022 · This week: Welcome to part II of coverage of Israel’s recent election. In the last episode, I talked about the rise of bigoted far-right politicians not being the huge watershed moment many of us feared. In this one, I’ll talk about what it does represent, for Israel, but mostly, for American and Diaspora Jews.
This episode is also known as: I can't believe I'm talking so much for so long I'm very very sorry.
