This is the Podcast home of TC Jewfolk's Who The Folk?! Podcast. Hear from interesting Members of the Tribe from all over the Minneapolis and St. Paul area.
This week I talk to Judi Shink, a Holocaust educator and the author of the soon-to-be-released memoir Speaking Through Silence, the story of a first-generation American coming-of-age in the shadow of her four Holocaust Survivor grandparents. We talk about what led her to write this book, the things she learned about her parents and grandparents in the process, and how she wove her story with her grandparents’ stories on this week’s Who The Folk?! Podcast.

This week I talk to Rachel Canfield and Dani Kaplan, two of the founders of the “Jewish Parent Book Club,” created to discuss the book “The Anxious Generation” by Jonathan Haidt. We talk about where their interest in this idea started from, some of the challenges they see of raising young children in the smartphone and social media era, and finding threads of Jewish wisdom in the discussions, on this week’s Who The Folk?! Podcast.
