Olga Gershenson, "Beyond Hollywood: The Oxford Handbook of Judaism and Film"
In this episode, film scholar Olga Gershenson (University of Massachusetts Amherst; co-head fellow at the Frankel Institute for Advanced Judaic Studies, (University of Michigan) discusses her project, "The Oxford Handbook of Judaism and Film", a 38-chapter Oxford University Press volume available online through library access. She explains why she chose “Judaism and film” over the slippery category “Jewish film,” moving beyond binary in/out definitions to examine production, distribution, reception, interpretation, religion on and off screen, expanded geographies, and non-realist genres like horror. Gershenson contrasts conventional Jews-in-film narratives centered on American Jewish experience and Hollywood with global case studies including Jewish women stars in early Indian cinema, Malayalam films nostalgically reconstructing Kerala’s Jewish past, and the extensive network of Jewish film festivals originating in 1981 San Francisco. She also highlights transnational dybbuk adaptations and Israeli religious-horror television, arguing for curiosity and openness to the field’s breadth.

Sigal Yona, "The Eden Cinema: A Borderland Theater Linking Tel Aviv, Jaffa, and the Wider Middle East"
In this episode we explore Sigal Yona’s research on Tel Aviv’s Eden Cinema, a landmark venue that opened in 1914 on the edge of the Neve Tzedek area, operated with for six decades, and closed in 1974. Yona describes how the cinema began as a contested Zionist-era project that depended on Egyptian distribution networks and multilingual advertising, drew mixed audiences during the silent-film era, and later navigated growing Jewish-Arab tensions and the transition to sound, including live Arabic mediation and early Egyptian sound films. After financial struggles in the 1940s and becoming a workers’ cooperative, it reinvented itself in the 1950s as a major hub for Yiddish films and then Indian and Egyptian films, creating highly participatory collective viewing experiences despite official restrictions. The cinema declined with television and changing film availability, and today the abandoned, graffiti-covered building faces possible renovation.

Gilad Halpern, "Before The Jerusalem post: The Story of The Palestine Post"
In this episode, we tell the story of the precursor to The Jerusalem Post--the Palestine Post, with the help of journalist and media historian Gilad Halpern. We delve into the life of Gershon Agronsky and explore how the newspaper navigated the complex terrain of British Mandate Palestine, WWII, and the establishment of the State of Israel. This narrative examines the paper's balancing act between objective journalism and Zionist advocacy, its transformation over the decades, and its impact on media history and journalism ethics.
