We’re in the month of Elul, a traditional period of self-reflection on the Jewish calendar. It’s a time to ponder repentance and forgiveness and, as we approach the High Holidays, think hard about how we might do better in the coming year. Which makes it a perfect time to revisit the dilemmas we’ve confronted in recent months in our advice podcast and column, “A Bintel Brief.” Below are five of those columns, each with a link to the relevant podcast episode. You can also listen to “A Bintel Brief” here or wherever you get your podcasts (be sure to give us a review!). And you can join our hosts, Ginna Green and Lynn Harris, and our archivist, Chana Pollack, for a live conversation about Bintel — including some rapid-fire advice — on Sept. 14, in person at the JCC Manhattan on virtually on Zoom. Register for the free event here. Got a question? Write to bintel@forward.com or leave a voicemail: (201) 540-9728. |
