This is a great podcast
I’ve been searching for ways to reconnect to my Jewish identity. This adds another way to do that as I navigate my whiteness and Jewishness with my passion for social justice.
I came upon this podcast on accident in a search for some nostalgia for my high school/ college GHC summer camp years.
I had no idea the focus would be on racial and social justice. it’s so important to listen to. I needed this.
