This month we discuss a new survey on Millennials and their knowledge of Jewish History, a fascinating conversation on LGBTQ rights in Israel with three representatives from the organization Israel Gay Youth, and the surprising Jewish history of a summertime staple: the classic American hot dog. And in honor of Israel’s 70th anniversary, we’re sitting down with Philadelphia Orchestra Interim President Ryan Fleur to discuss his family’s Jewish history and his experience in Israel with the recent successful Philadelphia Orchestra tour and patron mission.
