Treyf is a Jewish podcast.[1][2]

Background

The title of the podcast, Treyf, is a Yiddish word that means "Not Kosher".[3][4] The show interviewed David Gilbert from Weather Underground.[5] The podcast has opposed the far-right Jewish group called the Jewish Defense League.[6] The show has opposed Birthright Israel, an organization that organizes trips to Israel.[7] Zinman believes that anti-Zionism does not make someone anti-Jewish.[8] David Zinman and Sam Bick were interviewed on Canadaland.[9][10][11] They also did an interview with JewSchool.[12] The podcast interviewed Les Tager.[13] They also did an interview with IJV.[14][15] The podcast is recorded in Montreal at CKUT-FM.[16][17][18][19] The show hosted a workshop in Toronto.[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] The hosts signed a petition opposing the Canada-Israel Free Trade Agreement.[28][29] The show is bi-weekly.[30]

The podcast was started in 2015 and was still going in 2017. The show is produced in Montreal. The show's intended audience is the North America Jewish community. The political leaning of the show is "leftist". The show discusses Jewish reactions to police brutality, Jewish Voice for Peace and a Palestinian hunger strike. The show is hosted by David Zinman (no mention of Sam Bick). The show never intended to have a large listenership. Zinman believes that a podcast is not the right medium for an instant political impact like a magazine such as Tablet Magazine. The show is an attempt to create a Jewish dialogue and community. The show is an attempt to provide a different point of view through the intimate experience of a conversational podcast. The show is an attempt to create relationships and connections. Treyf is similar to "Judaism Unbound", "The Joy of Text", "Mormon Stories Podcast", "Unorthodox", and "Israel Story". There is a lot more content about Jewish podcasts in general.[31]

The show's intended audience is the North America Jewish community. The political leaning of the show is "left-wing". The show is a self-described "Debatably Jewish Podcast". The show discusses the BDS movement, social justice, and racial justice. The episodes are short between 20 and 40 minutes. The show has had guests such as Mark Tseng Putterman, and Josh Nathan. The show is a political podcast.[32]
