    October 7, Spiritual Reckoning, and the Path Forward, with Marsha Lederman
    Oct 19 2026
    In this episode, Globe and Mail journalist Marsha Lederman joins guest host Joshua Tapper to discuss her book, October 7th: Searching for the Humanitarian Middle, on the one-year anniversary of its publication in autumn 2025. They explore the impulses—both personal and professional—that compelled Marsha to first write the newspaper columns she archives in the volume, as well as the provocative challenge the book's subtitle poses to Jews and non-Jews alike. Together, they unpack the many, complex afterlives of a book that not only captures the political and cultural mood in Canada after October 7 and the ensuing war in Gaza, but also offers a framework, for Jewish and non-Jewish Canadians, to confront and wrestle with the moment's enormous psychological and emotional reverberations. Visit Marsha's website to learn more about October 7th: Searching for the Humanitarian Middle. Her columns are collected on her Globe and Mail staff page. This episode was produced and edited by Theadora Draper. Original music is by J. K. Bradley. Our executive producers are Joshua Tapper and David Koffman.

  • Jewish Community Cookbooks and the Women Who Wrote Them, with Kaye Prince-Hollenberg

    Jewish Community Cookbooks and the Women Who Wrote Them, with Kaye Prince-Hollenberg
    Sep 25 2026
    Tête-à-tête: Conversations in Canadian Jewish Studies returns for a second season of in-depth discussions about the research and ideas shaping Jewish Canada! In this first episode of Season 2, host Jonathan Slater sits down with food historian, genealogist, and librarian Kaye Prince-Hollenberg to reflect on her work collecting Canadian Jewish community cookbooks, excavating their recipes, and tracing the lives of their little-known contributors (most of whom were women). Kaye also describes her related work reviving the recipes of women who submitted their creations to The Canadian Jewish Review's "Class in Cookery" column. She and Jonathan dive into the role women have long played in preserving Jewish culinary traditions and how genealogists can use culinary sources in conducting family history. Visit Northern Noshes to learn more about Kaye's work on Canadian Jewish community cookbooks. Kaye writes about "Class in Cookery" on her blog, Paper Trails. This episode was produced and edited by Theadora Draper. Original music is by J. K. Bradley. Our executive producers are Joshua Tapper and David Koffman.

  • Episode 14: Addressing Antisemitism in and through the Arts, with Evelyn Tauben

    Episode 14: Addressing Antisemitism in and through the Arts, with Evelyn Tauben
    Jun 23 2026

    What responsibility do arts organizations—and the arts in general—have in championing Jewish culture, fostering inclusivity, and building bridges across communal lines?

    In this episode of Tête-à-tête, host Jonathan Slater is joined by curator and writer Evelyn Tauben, founder of the Toronto-based Jewish arts organization FENTSTER, for a conversation about challenges that Jews in the arts in Canada have faced in recent years, as well as the many opportunities that exist for productive engagement, solidarity, and reconciliation. They focus on Evelyn's latest project, SHVILIM ("paths," in Hebrew), a provincially funded initiative celebrating Jewish creativity in Ontario's arts landscape. Jonathan and Evelyn chat about how SHVILIM is charting a new approach to educating about antisemitism through a holistic lens, and why its team is advocating for non-punitive solutions in the arts and beyond.

    This conversation was recorded live at the Association for Canadian Jewish Studies' 2026 Annual Conference on May 31, at York University's Israel and Golda Koschitzky Centre for Jewish Studies.
