An almighty row has broken out at Leeds University, where the Leeds student newspaper has been accused of antisemitism for an interview it published with a leading Palestinian journalist. In a special report for Sounds Jewish, Henrietta Foster visits the Leeds campus and speaks to the students caught up in the dispute.
The Guardian's Jonathan Freedland and the founder of Muslims4UK, Inayat Bunglawala, join Jason in the studio to discuss whether free speech is rapidly turning into hate speech on British campuses.
Also in this month's show: what's the true meaning of one of the most expressive Yiddish words, broigus? Is it just a slight grudge – or a bitter hatred that can split a family for generations? And why is it that occasions that should be a source of joy – weddings, birthday parties, bar mitzvahs – often end up causing a broigus? We'll hear some real-life stories of family rows that started small and went nuclear.
Finally Jason is joined by two special guests – Ronna and Beverly – two motormouth yentas from America, pushy, noisy, adorable Jewish ladies of a certain age – as they serve up their unique brand of advice on life, sex and Streisand in London's West End and at the Edinburgh Festival later this year.
Sounds Jewish is produced with the Jewish Community Centre for London
