Reporters’ Roundtable: Bibi’s Speech; Meet the Ratners
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s forthcoming speech before the U.S. Congress, the growing spotlight on the Ratner real estate family in light of a recent indictment of a New York state senator, and a Brighton Beach, Brooklyn gathering of Jewish veterans who served in the Soviet armed forces during World War II are the topics of this week’s podcast. Staff writer Nathan Guttman, digital media producer Nate Lavey and Forward contributor Neil deMause join host Josh Nathan-Kazis for the discussion. Then, in our ongoing feature “The Best Jewish Story That Didn’t Make the Paper” Josh looks at why elite rabbis of an anti-Zionist, ultra-Orthodox sect are encouraging people to purchase real estate in Israel.
