Our community mourns Chris McKinley, who helped Amtrak passengers and shared his deep love for all things railroad for 30 years. We at JAM enjoyed his visits, where he made videos about trains and acted as a guide for a producer making a video on the Polar Express. We will miss him dearly. 3/1/26 Produced by Rick Russell for JAM.

Hosted by Liora Alschuler, Ordinary Jews. Talking. features conversations on being Jewish in the world today.
S3 Ep 2: Liora talks with Miki Hertog-Raz, who describes himself as a circus performer, acrobat and clown. It was in that capacity that he had his first encounter with Palestinians in a Jewish/Palestinian collective in the Galilee when he was in 5th grade. Today he provides an Israeli perspective on America – and an American perspective on Israel.
