Weekly Roundup - 10/14/24

This week: Senior reporter Alex Kane speaks with political analyst Daniel Levy about how the US’s unwillingness to exert leverage on Israel has escalated regional violence.

In our latest podcast episode, recorded live at Jewish Currents’s in-person event last month, editor-in-chief Arielle Angel speaks with Palestinian scholars, writers, and activists Noura Erakat, Fadi Quran, Dana El Kurd, Amjad Iraqi, and Ahmed Moor about the future of the Palestinian liberation movement.

In an essay in our new Florida issue, Jewish Currents’s outgoing artist-in-residence Fargo Nissim Tbakhi asks what we owe the dead in the midst of a genocide.

And in honor of Yom Kippur, we’re also sharing our 2021 oral history of Jewish organizing at Occupy Wall Street, centering on a Kol Nidre service that helped shape the course of the American Jewish left.
