A Certain Age Reflections On Being Jewish Now with Authors Zibby Owens, Dara Levan and Joanna Rakoff
After the attacks of October 7, 2023, Zibby Owens, the bestselling author, podcaster, publisher, and book influencer reached out to Jewish writers and advocates and asked them to contribute essays to an anthology, “On Being Jewish Now.” In the essay collection, 75 writers share heartfelt reflections that reveal the Jewish experience across a range of snapshots—faith, family, food, and a shared history of both joy and trauma stretching across millennia. In this powerful and moving episode, host Katie Fogarty is joined by Zibby Owens and two essay contributors, authors Dara Levan (It Could be Worse) and Joanna Rakoff (My Salinger Year). Each shares the backstory behind their essay and the complexities of being Jewish in a post-October 7th world. Vulnerable and open-hearted, this episode reminds us of the power of sharing our stories.
