Treyf is a Jewish podcast.[1]
Background
The show interviewed David Gilbert from Weather Underground.[2] The podcast has opposed the far-right Jewish group called the Jewish Defense League.[3] The show has opposed Birthright Israel, an organization that organizes trips to Israel.[4] Zinman believes that anti-Zionism does not make someone anti-Jewish.[5] David Zinman and Sam Bick were interviewed on Canadaland.[6][7][8] They also did an interview with JewSchool.[9] The podcast interviewed Les Tager.[10] They also did an interview with IJV.[11][12] The podcast is recorded in Montreal at CKUT-FM.[13][14][15][16] The show hosted a workshop in Toronto.[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] The hosts signed a petition opposing the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement.[25][26] The show is bi-weekly.[27]
The show is recorded on the McGill University radio station CKUT-FM.[28]
The podcast was started in 2015 and was still going in 2019.[29] The show is based in Montreal where the media climate is notably conservative.[30] The title of the podcast, Treyf, is a Yiddish word that means "Not Kosher".[30] The show's tagline is "A Debatably Jewish Podcast" both because of the debates on the show and the fact that many Jewish people would not consider their views to be Kosher.[29] The show's intended audience is the North America Jewish community.[31][32] The show discusses Jewish reactions to police brutality, Jewish Voice for Peace and a Palestinian hunger strike.[31] The show also discusses the BDS movement, social justice, and racial justice.[32] Treyf has been mentioned alongside other religion and spirituality podcasts such as The Joy of Text, Judaism Unbound, Israel Story, Mormon Stories Podcast, and Unorthodox.[31] According to the Canadian Jewish News, each episode receives a few thousand listens.[29]
The hosts of the show are Sam Bick who is from Montreal and David Zinman who is from Toronto.[29] The show's hosts see themselves as a continuation of the London Jewish Anarchists who would through Yom Kippur balls.[29] The political beliefs of Sam Bick and David Zinman have been described as "left-wing",[32] "leftist",[30][31] and "radical anarchist left".[29] The hosts are anti-Zionist and have compared Israeli oppression of Palestinians to European treatment of First Nations people. The hosts oppose Jewish complicity in white supremacy and patriarchy, and they have criticized conservatives, liberals, and progressives. The hosts are critical of institutional Judaism, but they are proud of their Jewish heritage. Both hosts attended Jewish day schools, enjoy the Yiddish language, and know lots of Jewish history and religion.[29]
Format
The show has a conversational format.[31] The episodes are short between 20 and 40 minutes.[32] The show has an interview format.[29][32] The show has had guests such as Mark Tseng Putterman, and Josh Nathan. The show is a political podcast.[32] The theme music is by Jewish-Canadian rapper Josh Dolgin, known by his stage name Socalled, and the song contains samples of the mourner's Kaddish.[29] The show never intended to have a large listenership.[31] Zinman believes that a podcast is not the right medium for an instant political impact like a magazine such as Tablet Magazine.[31]
The show regularly interviews guests from a variety of backgrounds such as academics, activists, and artists. The hosts have also interviewed people they disagree with. Some people they have interviewed include Yoni Goldstein editor-in-chief of Canadian Jewish News, former Canadian Jewish Congress leader and current Canadian Jewish News columnist Bernie Farber. The show regularly interviews Mizrachim, women, LGBTQ Jews and Jews of color. The show has a segment called "shkoyach" which is a Yiddish word for the Hebrew term meaning "may your strength increase". The hosts often give shkoyach to individuals or groups who have similar radical values. The show catalogue their episodes by their Hebrew date. The show is conversational and the discussions are positive, engaging, and entertaining. The show is well-researched and contain historical facts as well as political analysis.[29]
