Hosted by Liora Alschuler, Ordinary Jews. Talking features conversations on being Jewish in the world today.
EPISODE 5: Liora talks with sisters Ilsa Pinkson-Burke and Briane Pinkson, who grew up going to “shula,” a Cooperative Jewish Children’s School, and attending political demonstrations most weekends.
