Congressman Ritchie Torres, who built his career on progressive causes, has proven to be one of the most vocally pro-Israel members of Congress while also managing to be a unifying figure, building bridges between and among his diverse constituencies.In this episode of The Glue, we talk to Torres about  shoring up ties between the Black and Jewish communities, how we should think about DEI in an age of rampant antisemitism on college campuses, and how social media networks such as TikTok are fueling hatred and driving wedges between us.

The Glue, with Eric Fingerhut, is an exploration of what hold us together in divided times. In this complicated and often difficult era, when we are challenged by polarization, partisanship, rapid technological change, and social transition, strengthening our social bonds are more important than ever. As president and CEO of the Jewish Federations of North America, representing over 400 Jewish communities across the US and Canada, Eric Fingerhut knows a thing or two about what makes communities tick, how powerful community can be, and what compels communities to stick together. Join Eric in each episode for riveting conversations with experts and thought leaders exploring what is holding us together, how communities are evolving, and why their evolution is crucial to some of the biggest social challenges our societies face today.
