For the High Holidays, we're revisiting some of our favorite episodes of "A Bintel Brief." Last season, Bintel dispensed wisdom to Heartbroken Bubbe, who wrote to express concern that her grandchild, growing up in a mixed-faith household, might not receive sufficient Jewish influence. The letter garnered strong reactions in our listeners. This episode, Ginna and Lynn share and expound on some of those responses. Our regular featured guest, Chana Pollack, returns, as does a special guest: Heartbroken Bubbe herself, who reflects on what she’s learned.

Description

For the High Holidays, we're revisiting some of our favorite episodes of "A Bintel Brief."

Starting in 1906, the editors of the Forward answered reader questions in a column called “A Bintel Brief,” Yiddish for “a bundle of letters.” Now, we're bringing Bintel into a new era. Welcome to Season 2 of “A Bintel Brief,” the Jewish advice podcast. In this episode, Ginna and Lynn read and react to listener responses to one of our most popular episodes from last season, “Heartbroken Bubbe.” Recurring guest Chana Pollack drops by with some wisdom from the archive, and “Heartbroken Bubbe” herself comments on her experience trying to help foment a sense of Jewish identity in a beloved grandchild of mixed-faith parents.
