Maytal Kowalski Is Having Tough Conversations With Canadian Jews
About this episode
Maytal Kowalski discusses the challenges facing the Jewish community in Canada amidst rising antisemitism and debates around Zionism and Israel.
As antisemitism has exploded in Canada, debate has raged within its Jewish community. Is the government doing enough to combat Jewish hate? What does it mean to be zionist? Why are young Jews walking away from Israel? Maytal Kowalski, the executive director of JSpaceCanada, has leapt headfirst into all of these uncomfortable questions. In this episode, Noam and Maytal discuss her unique background, the bond between Canada's Jews, and her strong views on Israel and progressive politics.
