Hello! and welcome to Talking in Shul, a roundtable podcast. I’m your host, Tamar Fox, and I’ve got Zahava Stadler joining us from Toronto. Hi Zahava! And Mimi Lewis is joining us from Somerville, MA. Hi Mimi! And this month we’re joined by Hannah Lebovits, Assistant Professor at The University of Texas at Arlington. Hannah is joining us from Dallas, TX. Welcome Hannah!
This month we’re talking about the tunnels under 770, Chabad headquarters, and how headlines about this story have helped and hurt.
A few different takes on the story:
So why were those yeshiva students digging a tunnel at Chabad headquarters by By Beth Harpaz Louis Keene in the Forward
The controversial tunnel at Chabad’s Brooklyn headquarters, explained by Luke Tress in JTA
