Treyf Podcast

We spoke with Mark Tseng-Putterman and Tallie Ben Daniel about Jewish Voice for Peace’s new book, ‘On Anti-Semitism: Solidarity and the Struggle for Justice.’ We talked about the Jewish right’s understanding of Anti-Semitism, the Jewish left’s struggle to present a coherent alternative, and whose voices get centred in these conversations.

We spoke with Mira Sucharov (Carleton University Professor and Forward/Haaretz Columnist) about her recent decision to resign her column at the Canadian Jewish News. We talked about her political journey away from Liberal Zionism and the rightward shift of Canada's Institutional Jewish Community.

We spoke with acclaimed author, activist, artist, and movement elder Aurora Levins Morales about her new podcast, Letters From Earth. We talked about her ongoing love affair with radio - from the feminist radio shows she produced in the 1970s, her time with the Third World News Bureau, and her contributions to Flashpoints on Pacifica. We ended with a preview of the show, a piece entitled Mothers. As of June 1, you can listen to Letters From Earth at https://soundcloud.com/auroralevinsmorales

On this episode, we focused on the final days of the Canadian Jewish Congress. We spoke with Bernie Farber (former CEO of the CJC) & Dan Freeman-Maloy (Jewish academic, writer, and activist) about the CJC's history, how the Jewish Federations replaced it with CIJA (an Israel advocacy group), and what this means for our present moment.

We went to Chicago last month for the Jewish Voice for Peace National Members Meeting! We brought a recorder with us and put together an audio collage of our experience.

*The music you hear before and after our trip to the Haymarket Martyrs' Monument is 'Un Du Akerst', as sung by Isa Kremer.

In this 1993 interview, Leslie Lutsky talks with Les Tager, a founding member of the Toronto-based Jewish Feminist Anti-Fascist League (JFAFL). To skip the part of the show where Sam and David talk about unrelated things, jump straight to 8:03!

We spoke with Leslie Lutsky about his recent decision to end Jewish Digest, a Montreal-based radio show that's been on the air for over 25 years. We'll be releasing archives from the show over the next few months.
