Q: Do you want to talk about your theory of the case now as mayor on using people power to deliver in your very ambitious agenda?
Mayor Mamdani believes that the agenda can only be achieved through community engagement and that it must reflect the voices of New Yorkers.
Episode 465: Kishkes, Knishes and a Lost New York City
Q: Why did you put the word tourist in your title?
Part of it was a parody of tourist books, but also because many of the places and cultural artifacts discussed exist only in the past, making us all cultural tourists trying to understand and connect with a lost culture.
Episode 465: Kishkes, Knishes and a Lost New York City
Q: What is Klezmer and what does the 1970s Klezmer revival have to do with Klezmer?
Klezmer is traditional East European Yiddish dance music that had really no interest in American Jewish life before the 1970s, especially after WWII. The 1970s Klezmer revival helped reanimating this art form and made it part of cultural expression again.
