It's that time of year again, when all of us at Bonjour Chai reach out to noteworthy, interesting, prominent Canadian Jews to share their thoughts, stories and memories of Passover. This is the fourth annual Great Canadian Seder, featuring political musings on national borders, Donald Trump and Israeli hostages; nostalgia for a bygone Canada; and one very unique love letter to Moses.
Plus, to kick things off, we're sitting down with the new hosts of this soon-to-be-rebranded podcast, Rabbi Matthew Leibl and Yedida Eisenstat,. Stay tuned later this month for the launch of Not in Heaven, a podcast discussing the future of Jewish communal life, right in this same podcast feed.
In this year's seder, you'll hear from:
- Jonathan Rothman, staff reporter at The CJN
- Jacob Samuel, comedian
- Diane Flacks, actor and writer
- Mike Wilner, sports columnist and broadcaster
- Maya Ben David, performance artist
- Rabbi Susan Tendler, Beth Tikvah Congregation
- Talia Schlanger, singer and radio host
- Rabbi Sean Gorman, executive director of Mercaz
- Gary Topp, countercultural promoter
- Bryan Borzykowski, chair of The CJN board
