About Jewish Contrarians - formerly SpeechCast

Jewish Contrarians, a product of the Jewish Institute for Liberal Values (JILV), aim to reinforce Jewish values of discourse and debate. David Bernstein, Founder of the JILV, and Brandy Shufutinsky, Director of Education and Outreach for JILV, discuss (and occasionally debate) currents in the culture wars, antisemitism in its various forms, cancel culture (not ok except when it is) and what we Jewish (and non-Jewish) contrarians, thought criminals, and gadflies can do about it all. Join us weekly except when one of our kids needs to be picked up from school.
