Welcome to the JRB Podcast
Welcome to the Jewish Review of Books Podcast! For a long time now, we’ve wanted to share the discussions the editors get to have with our brilliant writers, and now we’ll be doing just that. We’ll be covering books and ideas about religion, literature, culture, and politics.
Our first episodes will feature writers Neta Stahl, Stu Halpern, Matti Friedman, and Ben Balint. We’ll be bringing you those episodes and more soon, so listen now and subscribe.

A Tale of Two Stories
In their respective new books, Schama and Feiner attempt not to relate the whole history of the Jews during the period covered by their volumes but to tell their story—indeed, to a large extent, to let them tell their story in their own words, culled from their letters, diaries, and autobiographical works.
