The Jewish Story Season 5: A Portrait of American Jewry

The Jewish Story Season 5 Episode 1: A Portrait of American Jewry (c. 1974) The changing culture of American Jewry after the Yom Kippur War in Israel and the Vietnam War meant leaving old neighborhoods, a surge in Zionism, and new developments in the Jewish community like the Havurah movement. We explore the publication of the First Jewish Catalog: A Do-It-Yourself Kit edited by Richard Siegel, and Michael and Sharon Strassfeld and the shift from left-wing liberal to neo-conservative in the writings of Commentary Magazine editor Norman Podhoretz. Plus, Rav Mike gets personal and talks about his own Jewish upbringing. Help continue making Jewish history a relevant story with Rav Mike by supporting him on Patreon.
