This month our first topic is apologies. We’re joined by Miriam Steinberg-Egeth, a Jewish advice columnist in Philadelphia to discuss what makes a good apology? What makes a bad apology? As we approach the High Holidays, how are we reflecting on the public and private apologies we want to make and are seeing around us? For our second segment Zahava and Tamar discuss Golda’s Balcony, a Broadway show that is now making the rounds as a film in the Jewish film festival circuit.
