S2, Episode 9: Secrets of the Bintel

Starting in 1906, the editors of the Forward answered reader questions in a column called “A Bintel Brief,” Yiddish for “a bundle of letters.” Now, we're bringing Bintel into a new era. Welcome to Season 2 of “A Bintel Brief,” the Jewish advice podcast. In this special episode, “Secrets of the Bintel,” Lynn interviews the Forward's archivist, Chana Pollack, about the Bintel Brief of yore. Plus, in Bintel Blitz, Lynn tries to guess the English meaning of three Yiddish words.
