Radicals Against the Death Care Industry; Hasidic Anti-Zionist Rally; Six Words About Your Dad
In this week’s Reporters Roundtable podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Forward news editor Larry Cohler-Esses to discuss a recent gathering of Jewish activists who want to take back funerals from the death care industry. Then, Forward intern Frimet Goldberger drops by to discuss a massive rally organized by the Satmar Hasidic sect in downtown Manhattan last weekend, and how it may have impacted Satmar relationships with mainstream Jews. Finally, deputy culture editor Naomi Zeveloff gives our picks for the best six-word memoir about your dad for Fathers’ day.
