  Ep 705: Kibitz with Keren with Doron Keren and guest Sadie Herz on hmTv

  Sep 18, 202627 minS2

  Send us Fan Mail Kibitz with Keren | Ep. 705: Sadie Herz, A Witness to a Witness | HMTC Sadie Herz entered UJA’s Witness Project expecting to learn from a Holocaust survivor. After hearing Christine Keren’s testimony, she realized that learning was not enough. She had become responsible for carrying the story forward. On Kibitz with Keren, host Doron Keren speaks with the high school senior who was paired with his mother through the program. Sadie explains why survivor testimony creates both intellectual and emotional connections, and why her generation must become “witnesses to a witness.” The conversation explores Jewish identity, Holocaust education, leadership, work ethic, campus safety, and Sadie’s ambitions in applied mathematics and astrophysics. She also describes experiencing antisemitic harassment at school and how questioning hatred strengthened her determination to educate others. Through research, teaching, advocacy, and an unapologetic sense of self, Sadie represents a generation prepared to remember, speak, and act. Her message is clear: the future changes only when people choose to change it.

  Send us Fan Mail Ordinary Heroes | Ep. 704: Julie Budd, From Brooklyn to Sinatra and Beyond | HMTC At 15, Julie Budd walked into a Las Vegas rehearsal and discovered that the person blowing kisses from the wings was Frank Sinatra.

  Ep 703: The Dana Download with Dana Arschin and guest Daniella Rabbani on hmTv

  Sep 16, 202627 minS2

  Send us Fan Mail The Dana Download | Ep. 703: Daniella Rabbani, Carrying Yiddish Forward | HMTC Yiddish first surrounded Daniella Rabbani as the adults’ language, spoken by her Holocaust survivor grandparents but not passed directly to her. Years later, music helped her reclaim it. On The Dana Download, host Dana Arschin Kraslow speaks with the actor and singer about her Ashkenazi and Sephardic roots, learning Yiddish as an adult, and carrying its humor, history, and emotional depth to new audiences. Daniella performs and reflects on “Oyfn Pripetshik,” a beloved song about children learning the Hebrew alphabet. She explains how its message of literacy, memory, and generational continuity gained new meaning after the Holocaust. Their conversation also explores Jewish languages, inherited trauma and resilience, Yiddish theater, and the cultural connections that unite diverse Jewish communities. Through her album Klezmeret and its documentary companion, Daniella invites listeners not only to preserve Yiddish, but to experience it as a living language filled with learning, laughter, music, and belonging.

  Ep 702: The Dana Download with Dana Arschin and guest Lynne Goldberg on hmTv

  Sep 16, 202626 minS2

  Send us Fan Mail The Dana Download | Ep. 702: Lynne Goldberg - Catching Your Breath | HMTC After two cancer diagnoses, the end of a 20-year marriage, her daughter leaving for college, and a major career change, Lynne Goldberg faced a question: What comes next? On The Dana Download, host Dana Arschin Kraslow speaks with the author of Catching Your Breath, meditation teacher, speaker, and co-founder of the Breethe app about grief, reinvention, inherited trauma, and conscious choice. Lynne also reflects on losing twin daughters after their premature birth and later becoming the mother of three children, two through adoption and one biologically. Dana shares how her grandfather’s survival at Auschwitz shaped her identity and work documenting Holocaust testimony. Together, they explore how pain and silence travel through families and how awareness can interrupt recurring patterns. Lynne introduces “choicefulness” and five principles for navigating change: radical recognition, feeling your feelings, adaptability, alchemy, and rising. Her message is clear: we cannot control every event, but we can choose how we meet what comes next.

  Ep 701: Ordinary Heroes with Bernie Furshpan and guest Dr Greg Weiner on hmTv

  Sep 9, 202628 min

  Send us Fan Mail Ordinary Heroes | Ep. 701: Dr. Greg Weiner - First Jewish President of a Catholic University | HMTC Growing up in the only Jewish family in a small Texas town taught Dr. Greg Weiner that a strong identity can make genuine friendship across differences possible. Today, as the first Jewish president of a Catholic university, he brings that lesson to higher education. In Episode 700 of Ordinary Heroes, host Bernie Furshpan speaks with the Assumption University president about faith, liberal education, antisemitism, and civic friendship. Greg explains what Jewish and Catholic intellectual traditions share, why productive disagreement requires more than politeness, and how common commitments can transform opponents into fellow citizens. Their conversation also considers what Jewish families should seek in a university, why education without moral character is insufficient, and the urgency of preserving survivor testimony as direct memory fades. Greg’s message is clear: college should not confirm that students already know everything. It should cultivate curiosity, nuance, intellectual humility, and the courage to seek truth while respecting the identities and beliefs of others.
