North Star with Ellin Bessner Canada's first COVID-era Birthright trip, and a short CJN Daily break
The CJN Daily will be taking a brief summer vacation for the next week, returning on Aug. 23.
In the meantime, we have a semi-new episode: here's a re-airing of an episode we ran in May 2021, "The life and legacy of partisan photographer Faye Schulman". We'll have more favourites coming to you during our break.
Plus, we have an update on the first Canadian Birthright trip to Israel since March 2020. It happened on Aug. 9, and brought a small busload of 18 university students from across the country. A second Canadian group was supposed to fly out on Sunday—but that's been postponed.
