Unorthodox Ep. 212: Amy Fish on How to Complain More Effectively; Carolyn Karcher on ‘Reclaiming Judaism from Zionism’ – Tablet Magazine

Posted By on January 28, 2020

This week, we learn how to complain better. Our first guest is Amy Fish, the ombudsman for Concordia University in Montreal and the author of I Wanted Fries With That: How to Ask for What You Want and Get What You Need. She tells us what she learned working as chief complaints officer for a university (and before that a Jewish nursing home!), and shares a few simple tricks to help us all better ask for what we wantand get it.

Then, Mark sits down with Carolyn Karcher, professor emerita at Temple University and the editor of Reclaiming Judaism from Zionism, a collection featuring 40 rabbis, activists, and writers. She explains how she came to oppose Zionism, and how she sees anti-Zionism functioning within the Jewish community today.
