Jewish American Heritage Month

Posted By admin on May 13, 2017

The Treyf podcast.

Were asking for your support to help us keep releasing a bi-weekly leftist Jewish podcast! Monthly donations will help cover the costs of the show so that we can stick to working on it and making it better.

For the past two years, weve released an episode every two weeks, along with a monthly broadcast on CKUT 90.3 FM in Montreal, on occupied Kanienkeh:ka territory. Weve often released shorts during our off-weeks, sometimes putting out four different episodes in a month.

Over this time, weve tried to engage with ideas, questions, and voices that are largely ignored in mainstream Jewish spaces.

When we started TREYF (a Yiddish word used to connote something that is not kosher), our goal was to bring anti-racist & anti-colonial leftist perspectives to the political discussions happening in North American Jewish communities. Where we live, the Institutional Jewish Community favors reactionary right-wing perspectives, in tacit support of white supremacy and settler colonialism. We created TREYF with the hopes that it could offer a viable alternative to these politics, and highlight the work being done by leftist Jews putting these ideas into practice. For some more context, check out thisinterview that we did with Jewschool.

What we want to do:

While weve been incredibly lucky to have access to CKUT, a community radio station which allows us to use some of their equipment, there are increasing costs that weve been paying for out of pocket. And as TREYF has grown, so have the opportunities to travel and talk with more people about the ideas that we engage with.

As we look to the future of TREYF, were asking for ongoing financial support so we can cover our basic costs, expand the topics and issues we cover, and improve the quality of the show while sticking to a consistent release schedule.

The possibilities for this radio show are pretty vast, and we have a lot of dreams that were aspiring toward. These include: finding and airing more archival footage, speaking with elders (more intergenerational dialogue!), engaging with the historical & current role of Jewish communities in North America as settlers, travelling to cover events, working with others to build a new Radical Jewish Media Network, and producing narrative nonfiction in the style of ourWar On Christmas episode!

Where will the money go?

Tier One basic costs: $100/month

Tier Two moving the show forward: $225/month

Tier Three expanding the show: $500+/month
