Description
Dr. Eddy Portnoy and Dr. Tony Michels dive into the Tonsil Riots of 1906 - an uprising led by Jewish mothers in New York City after their kids were operated on without their knowledge- the Kosher Meat Boycott of 1902, and other Jewish protests that are absent from the cultural lexicon. Plus the largest funeral to ever occur in New York City, inventive uses for raw meat and a riot story from Dr. Tony Michels’ own life. The Jewish Bizarre is produced by Reboot, an arts and culture non-profit that reimagines and reinforces Jewish thought and traditions. As a premier research and development platform for the Jewish world, Reboot catalyzes its network of preeminent creators, artists, entrepreneurs and activists to produce experiences and products that evolve the Jewish conversation and transform society. This podcast is supported by a generous grant from the Covenant Foundation.
