Musya Herzog and Meyer Labin on trying to reach the ultra-orthodox

Dec 25, 2025
∙ Paid

This week’s zoom call will be at our regular time, Friday at 1 PM.

Our guests will be two remarkable people, Musya Herzog and Meyer Labin. Musya is a neuropsychologist who grew up in the Chabad-Lubavitch community in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Meyer is a Yiddish-language journalist and writer from the Satmar community. Both are now active in Smol Emuni, the religious left. They’ll talk about the discourse about Israel and Zionism in ultra-Orthodox communities, and what it might take to make them more sympathetic to Palestinian rights.
