The Long Game

This week on Unorthodox, we’re smuggling fruit roll-ups into Israel.

First, we chat with Rabbi Ari Lamm about the surprising spirituality of this year’s NBA Playoffs.

Journalist Gabby Deutch joins us to talk about her five-part investigative series about the 1984 murder of Rabbi Philip Rabinowitz of Kesher Israel Congregation in Washington, D.C., a crime which remains unsolved nearly 40 years later.

We’re also bringing you the second installment of The Archive, our series exploring the collection of the National Library of Israel. Liel takes a look at Maimonides’ 12th-century manuscripts and learns about the Jewish thinker’s nomadic adventures.

We love to hear from you! Send us emails and voice memos at [email protected], or leave a voicemail at our listener line: 914-570-4869. Remember to tell us who you are and where you’re calling from.
