173 The Haredi Minority - Challenges and Possibilities (Re-posted)

May 03, 2020

Due to a technical problem on our part the original release of this episode was missing some audio. This release is the corrected file. Our apologies.


Writer and activist Shoshanna Keats Jaskoll joined Alan and Mike to discuss how the Corona crisis has exacerbated tension with and within the Haredi community. Her constructively critical perspective is always worth a listen. Why did it take so long for Haredi neighbourhoods to practice quarantine? What steps need to be taken within the community? How can people outside the community help move things forward? You'll want to hear the important insights in this must hear episode. Join us!
