Summer Breaks
Talking to Jewish students at the end of a long semester; plus how surfing came to Israel, teaching Torah in prison, and more
This week on the show, we’re catching a wave.
Producers Courtney Hazlett and Elie Bleier head to Tel Aviv to learn about the history of Israeli surfing from surfer Arthur Rashkovan.
Accompanying Tablet’s just-published reflections from Jewish college students about a semester like no other, producer Josh Kross heads to the University of Chicago to catch up with one of the essay writers.
You’ll also hear from Stephanie and Liel about the Torah class they led in a local correctional institute, organized by the Aleph Institute.
