To talk line with Zebra, America's premier Jewish broadcast on
6:02
the year since nineteen eighty one.
6:04
And now here's your host.
6:08
Welcome back to the program, Moms Zev Brenner. The Yiddish
6:10
Iak coming from all over the yiddishak Coming Yiddish is
6:13
enjoying a revival from people from.
6:16
Literally all over the globe.
6:17
For fifty seven years, YEVO, which people know is preservation
6:21
of Yiddish culture and heritage, has also been teaching Yiddish
6:25
culture and about Cassidium, and we'll talk about that right now.
6:28
Joining us is Ben Kaplan, director of education for YEVU
6:31
instead of Jewish Research. Devid Brown is the academic director
6:35
of the Evil bart oriole wineran summer programing Yiddish language,
6:39
rich and culture in every year for fifty seven years,
6:41
they brought together people to immerse themselves in Yiddish.
6:44
Thank you for joining us at.
6:45
Frankan Egan Pleasure.
6:47
So who is learning Yiddish? You have this the most
6:51
intensive courses in summertime. You do stuff a year round.
6:55
So who is learning Yiddish? Who wants to learn the language?
6:57
I would say everybody, everybody in every We don't have
7:01
a profile, we don't have a uniform profile for the
7:06
typical Yiddish student, just like you know, anybody learning anything
7:10
is not typically profiled at the university, and we give
7:15
university courses. This is for university credit if people want it.
7:19
These six weeks that we immerse our students in Yiddish,
7:23
and they come from all age ranges. This year alone
7:26
we had students from age sixteen through ay six and
7:30
they come from all interests, and they come from all religions,
7:32
and they come from all backgrounds, and they come from all native languages, and they come from all eye colors
7:37
and skin complexions. Now, of course, naturally it is a
7:41
majority of Jews who are interested in this, because Yiddish
7:46
language is a language of the Jewish people and grew
7:49
up over the past thousand years among them. But the
7:52
reasons are varied. Some are interest in interest in cultural
7:57
heritage and reclamation, in family life, or in genealogy in documents.
8:02
Some are academics who are getting degrees in various areas
8:06
that touch upon Yiddish. So there's no one profile of
8:10
a Yiddish student.
8:11
No, But I noticed that you have people from Iran, Italy, China, Moldova,
8:18
So why would somebody in China and you have more
8:20
than one Chinese individual from I understand studying Yiddish. Why
8:23
would somebody from let's say that part of the world
8:26
want to know Yiddish well.
8:27
The Chinese person is a perfect example. This is a
8:29
student this year that we had who is from China
8:33
and is currently studying in London, I believe, and he
8:37
took the Yiddish Summer program over Zoom. He didn't come
8:41
to us in New York. We have two programs essentially
8:43
in this larger program, there are two modalities of it.
8:48
And this is somebody who got a initial course in
8:52
London and found Ashkenazik culture and history fascinating. And then
8:59
really I think he's an intellectual historian, but just beginning
9:02
his studies, so we'll see where he ends up in the next couple of years. Was fascinated also by his
9:06
own culture and discovered that in the early period of
9:11
the last century when China and Chinese culture and Chinese
9:16
intellectual culture was undergoing a sort of revolution, similar things
9:21
happened between the treatment by Chinese intellectuals to Chinese as
9:26
what happened in the world of Yiddish and Jewish intellectuals
9:29
in Eastern Europe as they were figuring out what to
9:32
do with and how to treat their language. So he
9:36
gave us a presentation in fact that students take part
9:40
in self generated presentations throughout our six weeks so they
9:45
can tell they can teach us what we don't know
9:47
about them and about their intellectual worlds. He discovered that
9:50
the Chinese intellectuals of the nineteen twenties already had their
9:53
eye on Eastern European Yiddish speakers in Vilna and Warsaw,
9:59
et cetera. In that same time, and they looked back
10:03
at the charano Its Conference of nineteen oh eight, the
10:06
first major conference that dealt with the Yiddish language as
10:10
a Jewish question of how to incorporate that language or
10:14
how to associate that language with Jewurry Is it the
10:18
national language, the international language, the only language, one of
10:21
many languages, et cetera. And the Chinese were doing the
10:25
same exact thing.
10:26
They had the.
10:26
Finger on the pulse of what was going on in
10:30
Chaernovits and in Vilna and in Warsaw, and were inspired.
10:34
And you know, there was a movement once upon a time,
10:37
over one hundred years ago to write Chinese in Latin characters,
10:42
so that the whole population could become literate instead of
10:45
the pictogram situation that Chinese has, and they looked at
10:50
the spelling reforms that went through that were first discussed
10:54
at the chair of Its conference in nineteen oh eight, and were inspired by that so phenomenal. Here the Chinese
11:00
one hundred years ago and this young Chinese man are
11:04
interested in and learning what the Yiddish we're doing way
11:09
back when, and here we the Yiddish ourselves get to
11:12
learn about our effect and our inspiration towards other cultures.
11:18
Been you are going to say something.
11:19
Yeah, I was just to say in short.
11:20
Yiddish is an important language in academia today for historical research,
11:25
for archival research, and we have, as Dovid's referencing students
11:30
in Holocaust studies, students in German studies, and literary studies
11:34
in many different fields of academia who need the language.
11:38
It becomes an essential language in their research, and so
11:41
they're publishing. They will go on to publish new books
11:45
of history that incorporate primary source materials. He has millions
11:48
of documents in the Yiddish language and in other languages
11:51
as well. But it's a really important part of the
11:54
history not just in Eastern Europe, as Deva was mentioning,
11:58
but in how the Jews is and you're interacted with
12:01
other cultures and other civilizations.
12:03
Now, my daughter went through EVO Yiddish. She's actually Yiddish major.
12:06
She's now in Harvard though immersed in Yiddish. But Ben,
12:11
tell us about the curriculum. What are you teaching? Are
12:14
you teaching the language? The culture? I noticed you teach
12:16
about Let's let's get involved into it.
12:20
Take us there.
12:21
Sure.
12:21
So in the summer program, we have three core courses.
12:25
Everyone takes every day a language course. DOPA teaches those
12:30
and the higher levels, and they also take a literature course.
12:33
And we usually have anywhere from four to six levels
12:35
of proficiency. From complete beginner. You don't need any prior background.
12:38
Are they're reading in Yiddish or they're reading in English?
12:41
They're going to be reading in Yiddish? Yes, and so
12:43
you know you're getting this full immersion in the language
12:46
and in the culture.
12:48
So what are you reading.
12:50
Ibas Chevis singer Shesh. What are you reading?
12:53
Yes, yes, yes, right. It depends on the level, It
12:57
depends on the teacher. But we have those canonical writers
13:01
like Shoan malchm and Isaac Sheff Singer, and then we
13:03
have more off the beaten path writers we've incorporated, you know,
13:07
curricula these days incorporate more women writers who are not
13:11
included in the canon originally but have been really brought
13:13
back in, and other writers from different regions that may
13:16
not have been in the primary canon but have been
13:19
added in, you know, current literary studies that are important
13:23
to look at. So everyone takes the language courses, the
13:27
literature courses every day, and they also take what we
13:29
call a schmuis or a conversation course three times a week,
13:32
so you're getting that speaking practice as well. We treat
13:35
Yiddish as a living language, of course, and we want
13:38
to make sure that all those language skills are being reinforced.
13:42
And then beyond those core required courses, we typically have
13:46
many different seminars, electives, lectures on varying topics from different
13:50
scholars from around the world, and workshops, and we have
13:54
a music workshop, a singing workshop, we have a theater workshop.
13:57
Have we teach students how to the site for Yiddish
14:00
handwriting in documents. We usually have electives on rotating topics
14:06
on different aspects of Yiddish language, history and culture.
14:09
What to teach about sedum I knowed that was part of the curriculum.
14:12
Yes, So we had a literature seminer this year that
14:15
was focused on Hasidic culture and the literary output of
14:19
Hassidic culture across the centuries. And that was taught by
14:22
Mark Kaplan. So that's just an example of you know,
14:26
various courses we might have throughout the years. And we
14:29
also do walking tours for the students who come to
14:33
us in New York City. So we did a tour of Chsidic Williamsburg. We got a chance to go into
14:39
the Hassidic community and you know, see what it's like
14:43
in a in a Yiddish speaking community today in New
14:46
York City.
14:47
Just two years ago we had a lecture, was it
14:50
two or three? We had a guest lecture. We have
14:52
a series of lectures that are that's associated with the
14:55
program for our students. These are scholars who focus on
14:58
very specific areas of the broad, very broad topic of
15:03
Ashkenazik history and culture. And we had a specialist who
15:07
comes from the Hasidic community in New York and who
15:11
is also a PhDd linguist in the field, and she
15:15
gave us a talk. This is doctor Jiro Ronov. She
15:19
gave us a talk about the Yiddish of current New
15:23
York area Harasidium.
15:24
And that's different than the other side.
15:26
You teach a DIEVO you have more, right, that's Hasidic
15:29
Yiddish is different.
15:30
Well, every Yiddish is different because there are many dialects.
15:33
And what we teach at EVO inside the classroom is,
15:36
you know, essentially classroom Yiddish, the standards that have arisen
15:40
over the past one hundred hundred and twenty years for
15:43
public usage. That is non dialectal, non local, and don't
15:48
pinpoint you as coming from any particular.
15:50
Yeah, but the point is though you probably have the biggest Yiddish speaking population in the world, is the Hasidic
15:55
community yet about thousands of people. So wouldn't it make
15:59
more sense to teach that dialect because if they go
16:01
to Classiitic Williamsburg, or they go anyplace, their chances are
16:04
they're going to speak that kind of Yiddish.
16:06
Well, if they're only here for speaking Yiddish, that's true,
16:10
but if they're also interested in researching Yiddish and speaking
16:14
with anybody who is not of the current day Classidic
16:20
usage population, then they need to know standard Yiddish or
16:24
to be able.
16:25
What do you call that?
16:26
Folk spach? That's the everyday language. Isn't that an expression
16:29
folk sprach the people speak.
16:32
Well maybe folks folks the people's language. The people's language
16:38
though was really everything outside of the classroom language, right,
16:42
So that's that's all the dialects that are out there now.
16:46
I noticed music. What Yiddish music do you portray? Do
16:48
you feature in the classroom or in the course.
16:52
We have various We have an elective on Yiddish music,
16:56
and we have a number of teachers for it and
17:00
a number of performers who join it as well. So
17:04
we have in house representatives of Yiddish music from the
17:09
EVO Sound Recording department and at the say who are
17:13
the experts on printed and recorded Yiddish music and musicology.
17:19
And then we have performers as well who lead song
17:23
sessions and teach our students some of the basics and
17:27
also some of the off the beaten track.
17:29
I give them more of the contemporary because the way
17:32
the biggest Yiddish music is in the Classidic community. In fact,
17:34
we used to carry the Forward radio show, which was
17:37
in Yiddish music, culture, et cetera. But in the final
17:41
years of the Ford Radio Show they featured people like
17:44
Lipa Schmeltzer because that's what was in vogue.
17:47
Sure. Sure, and we've actually had a number of the
17:51
current day hasidim or kind of ex harasidium or on
17:56
their way out but into the modern Orthodox world of
17:59
a great singer doing special interviews with us and special fabrangens.
18:06
You've seen them that have taken the courses, so they don't need to they know Yiddish. I'm just curious if
18:09
any of them participating, well, they actually.
18:12
Do need to because many of them cannot write their
18:15
native language. Remember that they're often not schooled in their
18:18
native language, so they come knowing Yiddish natively, but without
18:24
comfort reading it or writing it since their schooling is limited.
18:29
Said they don't read itsh They have a Viberan Yiddish
18:31
press and you have online, so I can understand why
18:35
wouldn't they be able to read it if they have all these publications that they're reading.
18:39
Because they're not taught it at school. They're typically not
18:42
taught it at school. If they are reading, if they
18:45
are reading, not everybody reads, and not everybody reads to
18:48
the same extent. And remember also that many of these
18:51
communities are quite bilingual with English and Yiddish, or with
18:55
Yiddish and Hebrew, or with Yiddish and Flemish in Antwerp,
19:00
so that not everybody is schooled or is a typical
19:04
Yiddish reader who comes from a Yiddish speaking household.
19:08
Calte English.
19:08
I guess the Yiddish and English right open defence they're
19:11
used to be the way open the vendo I heard anyway, right,
19:14
English has been incorporated into Yiddish.
19:16
Just like every language is incorporated in every language. Whenever
19:19
two communities of different languages are meeting and incorporating each other.
19:25
Anybody from Gaza or Lebanon or any of these countries
19:28
have been I know, Iran, you have somebody. What about
19:30
the other countries that I mentioned? Are they also anybody
19:33
taking Yiddish from those places?
19:35
We have had students in the past couple of years. Yeah.
19:37
Interesting, And did they tell you why they're taking Yiddish
19:39
if they're in Gaza or Lebanon or Saudi Arabia, et cetera.
19:44
Yeah, interest in the Jewish people, interest in Jewish civilization,
19:49
remember that not everybody who is, let's say, a Saudi
19:52
Arabian is a political representative of Saudi Arabia. A person
19:57
might have, you know, independence of thought and be doing
20:00
a set of studies at the university and wants to
20:04
understand the world, not just their country's politics.
20:07
Ben Cavil, director of Education for EVA. Dovid Brown, the
20:10
academic director of the YVO Board your real wine wrap.
20:14
Some are programming Yiddish lag of literer and culture. Why
20:16
do they have a Yiddish word in there too?
20:18
Right?
20:18
Shouldn't they have a Yiddish world into the Yeva?
20:21
All right?
20:22
Are right?
20:23
And Yiddish?
20:24
That's a Yiddish word? And program program is okay? And
20:27
summer you could argue, zoomer, really zoomer.
20:30
Of course, if people want to learn more about YEVA
20:33
and especially the Yiddish program where people can learn Yiddish,
20:36
immerse themselves in Yiddish culture, how can they do so?
20:39
You can visit EVA dot org or the seven program's website.
20:42
Summer program do EVA dot org.
20:44
And every year is getting bigger. So what's some plan
20:46
for next years? I let you go.
20:47
Next year we have our centennial. So YVA is celebrating
20:51
one hundred years. EVA was founded in nineteen twenty five,
20:54
so we'll have our twenty twenty five seven program and
20:56
we'll have some special programming around that.
20:58
So stay tuned, keep us posted.
21:01
The Yiddisha coming, the Yiddish I here. Thank you for
21:03
being part of our show.
21:04
Thank you zev.
21:05

You're listening to Talkline with Zev Brenner, America's premier Jewish
26:33
broadcast on the year since nineteen eighty.
26:35
One, and now here's your host.
26:40
Welcome back to the program, mom, Zev Brenner. Has been
26:42
a long time since we last had Bruce Teitelbaum, former
26:46
chief of staff to Mayor Ruder Giuliani, is now in
26:49
real estate development and he's embarked on a campaign to
26:52
say thank you to Mayor Eric Adams.
26:55
Welcome back to the program.
26:57
Bruce, Thank you, shavelab Zev, thank you, good to be here.
27:01
Good to be with So I know that you're doing ads,
27:04
you're doing a campaign. Why at this point in the history.
27:08
Are you telling Jews, especially in the Orthodox Jewish community,
27:12
say thank you to Mayor Eric Adams.
27:14
Look, zeb everyone knows that this is a perilous time
27:17
for the Jewish community here in New York, in America,
27:20
across the world. Eric Adams has been a friend of
27:23
the Jewish community for twenty five thirty years, in particular
27:27
now with what's going on in college campuses on the
27:30
streets of New York. He stood up for us. He's
27:33
spoken on behalf of us. He's protected us. So he's
27:37
done right by us, and I think is an important
27:39
Jewish value. I think it's important the Jewish community stand
27:42
up and they say thank you to the mayor who
27:45
has been very, very friendly. He's been with us, he
27:47
stood with us. I think it's important that we say
27:50
thank you to him.
27:50
No, I think it's important too. But why now it's
27:53
been this thing has been raised in October seventh? Is
27:56
it because the mayor is embattled with all these investigations.
28:00
I mean, I mean, in particular, you know the Ati place,
28:02
they talk specifically about not only standing up for a friend,
28:06
but when a friend's going through a tough time, and obviously he's going through a difficult time now, a lot
28:11
of people are are being critical.
28:13
He's getting some bad press.
28:15
There are some things happening that are causing obviously a
28:19
lot of focus on what's happening at city Hall and in the city. So I think particularly now, you know,
28:24
when a friend is going through a tough time, you
28:26
know you've got to stand up for friends.
28:27
If not, now, when.
28:29
Does city hall? Are they aware of what you're trying
28:32
to do.
28:32
I haven't spoken to the mayor and some time, nor
28:35
have I spoken to any of the people who work
28:38
for him or or who are as political people.
28:41
I don't think I need to.
28:43
I think, you know, it's important that we individually, collectively communally.
28:49
If there's something that we need to do, we should
28:51
do it. We shouldn't have to be prompted or asked,
28:53
or or coordinate with people. So I haven't spoken to anyone.
28:57
This is something I've done in the past. I've done
28:59
in conjunction with other people in the community. This time,
29:02
I didn't think I wanted to wait. I wanted to
29:05
act quickly, so I did.
29:07
No.
29:08
It's it's it's nice as impressive. What's been the reaction
29:10
so far.
29:12
It's been great. I got.
29:13
I've gotten so many dozens and dozens of phone calls
29:15
from actually interesting from a lot of folks who are
29:18
not Jewish, from from the non Jewish community, folks and
29:21
queens in the Bronx in Manhattan who swear the end
29:25
and said, you know what, you know, you know kla ko,
29:27
good for you. It's important that people stand up for
29:30
the mayor, especially folks who have been who have been
29:33
helped and with the marya show and support to I
29:36
think actually a couple of groups I've spoken to are
29:38
taking the head and they're reprinting it and they're posting
29:41
it themselves, and then they're something that themselves. So I
29:44
think that's terrific and I hope, uh, I hope it
29:46
does something good.
29:48
Well, it's great that you're doing that.
29:49
Now.
29:50
Is it mainly the Frum community that's responding to you.
29:53
Is it a general community? Who's who's responding?
29:56
Yea, you know, it's it's been, it's been. Actually haven't
30:00
received actually a single phone call from anyone in the
30:02
in the Orthodox community. It's been people actually in the
30:05
business community, people you know who I worked with years ago,
30:09
A couple of non Jewish groups, a couple of civic
30:11
groups from Queen's in particular, that saw the ad in
30:16
one of the political pampers in New York. So I
30:18
think that's great because, frankly, I think the Orthodox community,
30:22
more conservative community. I think they appreciate they support the mayor.
30:27
I think it's important that folks were maybe not affiliated
30:30
or not from the Orthodox community, but we're Jewish live
30:34
in the city who are getting, you know, benefit from
30:37
the mayor support. They too should be aware of what's happening.
30:40
And I'm glad that they've responded and they're aware of
30:42
what's happening.
30:43
We're getting some phone calls coming in. Let's see if
30:45
we can sweeze and let's see Ira in Brooklyn or Queens.
30:49
Go ahead, Ira, are you there?
30:50
Mister title Beaum. My sympathies are with Rudy Juliani. I
30:55
don't know what you're going with Mayor Adams about. I mean,
30:58
how could you compare them to come on?
31:00
Please?
31:01
And you were working, mister Giuliani. Is this gratitude? Is
31:05
this a chorus at all? That you're talking about a chorus?
31:10
Yeah?
31:11
I mean, you know, I'm not talking about Rudy Giuliani. Now,
31:15
I'm talking about the current mayor, Rudy Giuliani was the
31:19
mayor of twenty five, thirty years ago.
31:21
He did what he did.
31:23
I'm talking about what's happening in twenty twenty four here
31:25
in New York and trying to express gratitude thanks to
31:29
the person who currently occupies Gracie Manchin and is the
31:33
current mayor of New York.
31:34
And I thank you for your question, but I was
31:37
just curious, Bruce, because Rudy gian is going through hard times.
31:40
Are you in touch with him? Is that something that
31:42
you're involved with it all.
31:43
I haven't been in touch with with the mayor, the
31:46
guy I worked for for a while. Right now, what
31:49
I'm concerned about is what's happening in New York today.
31:52
We live in a very very challenging times, as you
31:55
know at a lot of things are happening in the city,
31:58
a lot of things affecting the jewishmmunity.
32:00
Mayor Adams is the mayor right now, he's the guy
32:03
in charge.
32:04
I think it's important that we acknowledge what he's doing,
32:07
and I think it's important for the Jewish county to
32:10
express their appreciation for what he's doing for us.
32:13
Let's get to Aria and for the phone. I even got the phone on. The phones are ringing. Bruce here,
32:17
Aria and Flapper. Is your question for Bruce title Bounce?
32:20
Yes, I would like to know if you think that
32:22
the Columbia University Jewish students are grateful to Eric Adams
32:27
So waiting several weeks before he sent the police in,
32:31
during which they were afraid to go to classes, they
32:34
were haracked, uh and and physically menaced, and and people
32:38
are saying that if they were if they would demonstrating,
32:41
if the Ku kuks Klan was demonstrating on campus, he
32:44
would have cleared them out in one day.
32:46
So what do you say to that?
32:48
Yeah, it's it's a good question.
32:49
It's not as simple as that Columbia University is a
32:51
private institution and the New York City Police Department is
32:55
not permitted to go on private property. They have to be they have to be invited onto the campus. So
32:59
in the case you're talking about, it was a very
33:02
challenging case. It really it was incumbent upon the people
33:07
who ran Columbia University to work with the NYPD to
33:10
invite them on. So the mayor didn't have the authority
33:13
to unilaterally in day one send the police in I'm
33:18
sure if he had that power he would have done it, but he didn't.
33:21
So it's more complicated than you make it seem.
33:23
Okay, let's go to Juty in Brooklyn. Okay, Judy and Brooklyn.
33:27
Your question for Bruce.
33:30
Could you tell me what we're supposed to be thankful for?
33:33
Could you highlight something?
33:36
Yeah?
33:36
Absolutely, there were several things.
33:38
First of all, the New York City Police Department is working extremely closely with the organized Jewish community. There's been
33:43
extra protection put on Jewish schools, Jewish communal institutions, synagogues
33:48
all across the city. Secondly, the mayor is spoken at
33:51
every single event, major event in the city of New York,
33:54
especially after October seventh, in support of the state of Israel,
33:57
when almost every other politician in New York said thing.
34:00
Third the mayor is working very very closely with the
34:04
leaders of the Jewish community who have asked him for
34:06
extra police protection, especially the upcoming Jewish high Holy Days.
34:10
So I think all of the things that he's done
34:13
that I have just articulated, including the fact that he
34:15
stood up very publicly, very clearly, very unequivocally in support
34:20
of what the Jewish community is going through and in support of the State of Israel. When you compare that
34:25
to the to the silence of the vast majority elective
34:29
officials of the city, I think that's something we should
34:31
be thankful for and grateful for.
34:33
And there's also one of the point to ponder, Bruce,
34:36
is that in today's day and age, if you speak out for Israel, the repercussion, especially on the progressive left,
34:40
they don't take it lying down.
34:42
If you're a supporter of Israel.
34:43
Well, that's the great point in Zev.
34:45
You know that it could be very easy for the mayor who who lives and works in the city where
34:49
there's an increasing progressive community, he can have said simply nothing, which,
34:52
by the way, the vast majority of politicians, especially Jewish
34:55
politicians in New York, have said nothing.
34:58
And Zev's you're making a very good point.
35:00
Part of the reason this is because we're afraid of the
35:02
backlash from the left. Eric Adams was never fearful of that.
35:06
As I said, he was one of the first to
35:08
come out very clearly, very struggling in support of the
35:11
State of Israel, condemning with Hamastid, condemning what's going on
35:16
in Israel and in addition, doing what he could do
35:19
within the limits of the law to protect the Jewish
35:21
community here in New York.
35:23
That's just a fact.
35:24
Who has ringer Bruce Tim I'm former chief of staff
35:26
to Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who is a Republican mayorer, and
35:29
he is telling Jews to send today thank you to
35:33
a Democratic mayor. Eric Adams especially is being beleaguered by
35:36
all kinds of investigations surrounding him. He wants the Jewish
35:39
communities they thank you for his support of Israel.
35:43
Shattered, lost, drowning, struggling to keep their head above water,
35:47
Hope once a flicker, now extinct. Their pain is a
35:51
silent storm, invisible to the world, so utterly alone. Then
35:55
a moutam steps in. A dedicated clinical case manager becomes
35:59
their annger personally on their case from the moment they
36:02
reach out. These aren't just voices on the phone. They're
36:05

Thank you, mister Mayor.
38:08
Who're listening to Talk Line with Zev Brenner, America's premier
38:12

38:15
And now here's your host.
38:19
We're back.
38:19
Bruce Tilbaum is our guest, and we're taking your phone call.
38:23
The phones are blazing. Let's go to Henya. Bruce Tilabum
38:26
was former chief of staff to Mayor rud Jiuelani. He's
38:28
in real estate and he's asking Orthodox jew and Jews
38:31
to say thank you to Mayor Eric Adams for a
38:34
strong support for Israel. Let's go to Henya in Crown Heights, Henya,
38:37
Krint Heights, shut Hi.
38:40
First of all, this is the same Bruce Tarlbum that was around Krin Heights during the riots.
38:44
Is that correct?
38:44
That's me, that's you, Okay, So I just wanted to
38:48
make a comment to help you.
38:49
Let me finish it.
38:50
So we are grateful for the police presence that the
38:53
mayor is providing to our synagogues, and that's really nice. However,
38:58
for some reason, it seems that Udlum's feeling power to
39:02
attack juice under Mayor Adams watch.
39:04
Are the mayor for them a way?
39:07
Yes?
39:07
Yes, going through New.
39:09
York one moment, because I'm sure if there were demonstrations
39:13
against Moslims of blacks for what their countries were doing,
39:17
Mayor Adams would never allow these demonstrations to go on here.
39:22
Especially I remember that after nine eleven. Every politician was
39:26
out there yelling and screaming, we're not against moslims 'rony
39:29
against those who attacked us, and all the Mouslims would
39:32
be protected. I'd like Mayor Adams to keep reminding everybody
39:37
that Israel is reacting. They're reacting to burning babies of eyes,
39:41
just to slaughtering people, to shooting them. It's it's not
39:45
that they're doing anything to harm people, it's their reactions.
39:49
It's unconditional to hear that the Israelis are killing innocent Palestinians.
39:54
That's an outright lie hamms terrorists. And this is what
39:57
I want the mayor to keep saying. Terrorists want the
40:00
people to be killed by the retaliation of Israel. Be
40:05
stressed at every conversation. I don't think people are aware.
40:08
I mean they forgot to what happened October seventh. I
40:11
want to know how many orphans of widows are there
40:13
in Israel? Now does that mention?
40:15
Hanya?
40:16
I appreciate your passion. I let brush respond. We have
40:19
other people waiting online, but you want to comment, Yeah.
40:23
I mean, I think, Henya, I appreciate your comments.
40:25
You should listen to the speech the mayor made a
40:28
couple months ago at a rally I attended. It was
40:30
one of the most beautiful and passioned speeches. Everything you
40:33
said he said in that speech. The mayor repeatedly says
40:36
what you've just said, over and over and over again.
40:39
You got to understand something. He's the mayor of New York.
40:41
He's not the mayor of Jerusalem. He's not the mayor of Israel. And for someone to stand up and to
40:46
do what he's done, especially Hanyell, when you consider the
40:50
relative silence of almost every other political figure in this city,
40:54
in the state, including Jewish politicians, you have to give
40:58
him credit, and by the way, explain something else to
41:00
you if we don't give him credit. The message that
41:04
we're sending to politicians around the city is that no
41:07
matter what they do, and I'm not saying every time
41:10
they do what you think is the best or as
41:12
much as they should do.
41:13
But the messager's.
41:14
Sending is, you know something, the Jewish community either doesn't
41:17
care or they want more, given what's going on in
41:20
this country, in the city, in the state, and around
41:22
the world, to have the mayor of New York, an
41:25
African American mayor of New York who has ev pointed
41:28
out before, is in the city now that is becoming
41:31
increasingly progressive and left for him to stand up and
41:34
to say what he has said and defend issual.
41:36
The way he has done it is commendable.
41:39
It may not be perfect, it may not be as
41:41
much as you want, but it's darn good response.
41:44
I agree with what you say. I just don't agree
41:48
with the demonstrations that he's allowing to go on. He
41:51
would never allow the demonstrations.
41:53
Nya kenya, nya hanya. Let me CanYa, listen to me.
41:57
I hear what you're saying. There's something called the First Amendment,
42:01
and there's something called the freedom of assembly, and unfortunately.
42:09
Blackbird's finished, and then we have a lot of way
42:11
and go ahead.
42:11
Can I can? I agree with you.
42:13
I agree with I agree in the sense that what's
42:16
going on in this city is terrible. It's not his fall.
42:19
First of all, he is acting I think appropriately. He's
42:22
acting in the best interest of the city and I
42:24
think the Jewish community, and I think what we need
42:27
to say is by the way, heny, I would agree
42:29
with mister mayor, thank you, you're doing good.
42:31
Do more.
42:32
That's okay, But we gotta thank him. We gotta say that.
42:35
We got to tell him we understand and support what
42:37
he's doing for us.
42:38
You want to urge him to do more.
42:40
That's okay, hen Y, thank you for your car.
42:43
I appreciate the peace of the country.
42:46
God, we have to do that.
42:47
Hen You, thank you. It's nice hearing from you. Let's
42:50
got to stand in Forest Hills.
42:52
Obviously, you're not doing this for no reason at all.
42:55
Are you going to be working for the re election
42:58
of the mayor?
42:58
No, absolutely not.
42:59
I'm not for any reason other than for the reason
43:01
that I said, Stan, I don't work for the mayor.
43:04
I'm out on this political campaign. I don't get any
43:06
benefit from the mayor. I'm doing this because as a
43:10
person who's lived in the city for a long time,
43:12
person who's been in politics, I can tell you, Stan,
43:15
politicians are very sensitive. They read the paper, they listened
43:19
about the show.
43:20
Oh yeah, yeah, that's sensitive, all right.
43:22
As someone has worked for political people, it is important.
43:25
I'm telling you, Stan, I've been there. It's important that
43:27
when a politician goes out and does something, it's important
43:31
that they get feedback from the community.
43:32
Now, again, some people might think it's not good enough.
43:35
But I'm telling you that the mayor has stood up,
43:38
and I think it's important for us to say thank
43:41
you for what you've done. You want to say do more,
43:44
you can say that, but I think it's important here
43:46
in the stands that we're listening, we appreciate it, and
43:49
we're thankful for what he's done for us.
43:51
Let me ask your question. You are a Republican, are
43:53
you not? I am Okay, I would assume you're a
43:56
loyal Republican. Okay, let me ask you this question, putting
44:00
you on the spot. Okay, the man you supported for
44:03
over twenty five years, the former mayor has been literally
44:08
destroyed by what has happened to him, undeservedly so because
44:13
of the cases in Georgia, and he owes money and
44:16
now he's in Florida and hiding or whatever. And to
44:19
blame for that is Donald Trump. But do you support
44:22
Donald Trump for president?
44:23
You know? I tell you asked me to come on the show to talk about it.
44:26
I know what I am.
44:27
I had a whole question. Understand. Let the man speak,
44:30
go ahead.
44:31
Let them answer it, go ahead. I have no problem.
44:33
Yeah, I mean, frankly, my supporter not support of Trump.
44:37
Is not relevant. I'm here to do one thing. I
44:39
live in New York City. I'm concerned about in New York City. I'm concerned about the Jewish community here in
44:43
New York and I'm here to tell people we're living
44:46
in very perilous timestand you know that it is important.
44:51
It's important that the Jewish community stand up religious not religious,
44:54
old young, but Manhattan, Brooklyn, wherever you are, it is important,
44:58
given what's happening in this city, to tell our leaders,
45:02
especially the one who runs the city, thank you for
45:05
listening and being concerned and standing up.
45:07
For the Jewish community. Period. Am I talking about Trump Giuliani?
45:12
Well, have other calls and we have an email one.
45:16
Wait quick, wait when the federal government is finished with
45:19
its investigation of him, then I'll thank him. If he's
45:22
not guilty of anything.
45:23
Way waiting when I thank him before. If you like what he did, thank you.
45:26
No, I'll wait to see what the Fed's got on him.
45:29
If they have anything, then I'll thank them.
45:31
All Right, Okay, are your premier point? Thank you, Let's
45:34
go to you. Let's go to your heel or is
45:37
your tough?
45:39
I know? Go Wait to the next email question. Anyway,
45:41
go ahead, your go ahead, your heel.
45:43
How much express my appreciation from what you are saying
45:46
that you have to have a crossotalphic he is it's
45:51
a true Oh have you strow and hopefully every buying
45:54
the juish author dox community with realized just just not
45:57
just not point Donald Trump, who is being targeted by
46:01
FB and being a political enemy of the Democrats in camera,
46:04
but he is our friend. The exact thing thing with
46:08
Emic Adams. He's being targeted by the FBI being their enemy,
46:12
and he's also our friends. So he should be supporting
46:15
Downald Trump and k Anans for the same reason. Yeah,
46:19
one hundred percent right, Oh at a concertop and he
46:21
should know that me appreciate everything he's doing.
46:24
Anyway, thank you for your phone. I appreciate it. Thank you.
46:27
Let me excuse him.
46:27
One email question, clock is sticking BC rights. Eric Adams
46:31
does not deserve any kudos at all considering the lawlessness
46:34
taking place in New York City. The NYPD under his
46:37
leadership has failed miserably and will not win a second term.
46:40
Your response, well, I don't I don't agree.
46:43
I think the city is safer than it was, certainly
46:45
under the disastrous mayor we had three years ago. The
46:48
city crime is almost is down in almost every significant category.
46:52
But beyond the beyond that, again, I want to refocus
46:55
the audience.
46:56
I'm talking about one thing. We have anti Semites.
47:00
Jew hater is running around the city, protesting, threatening, bullying,
47:05
attacking Jews all over the city and the City of
47:08
New York. The mayor of the police Department is doing
47:10
everything they can to combat that, stand up for the
47:12
community and speak out against it.
47:14
That is what I'm speaking about.
47:16
It is heartening to know that we have a mayor,
47:19
especially with the high holidays approaching, the high holidays approaching,
47:22
that is working with this community. He understands what the
47:25
issues are, he understands the pressure we're under. He understands
47:28
the anti semitism, and it's not his fault that is
47:31
anti semitism in the city. He is standing up for us,
47:34
he's listening to us, He's concerned about us, and that
47:37
is all I am saying.
47:38
And another one, by the way, you Bruce, you made a very important point before they want to talk about
47:44
now is not just Mayor Eric Adams. There are a
47:46
lot of elected officials that have gone on a limb
47:48
supporting Israel, and you speak to some of them and
47:52
they will tell you that the male, the email, the
47:54
phone calls coming into their office is anti Israel. Not
47:58
enough people are saying thanks you. And I'll tell you
48:00
about that.
48:01
THEV one thousand per Zev. You should know that.
48:03
You know there are certain Jewish organizations that take elected
48:06
officials on trips to Israel's, missions to Israel's I've spoken
48:10
to some of these elected officials that hate mail that
48:12
they get. Their offices are flooded with emails and phone calls.
48:17
I don't think people really realize how serious this the
48:21
problem of anti Semitism is in this city, and how
48:24
these politicians, a lot of them are subjected to organized
48:28
groups that go after them if they say anything this
48:31
point of Israel. The easy thing to do, and this
48:33
is the points that have the simple and easy thing to do is to say nothing at all. People here
48:37
represent New York, they don't represent Israel. A lot of
48:40
these elected officials could say nothing.
48:42
And the problems a lot of people who hate Israel
48:45
get on the phone, send emails and contact elected officials
48:49
and we don't say thank you. And I just want
48:51
to say there was a gentleman. I think his name
48:53
was Pharaoh Maizell. He was worth Ofox. He was a
48:56
program director at Channel nine. Had interviewed him. They did
48:59
a specially maybe in Israel sixty I don't remember the
49:02
exact year, and they did a wonderful all day special
49:05
showing the greatness of Israel. When I interviewed him after
49:07
the broadcast, I say, will you do it again?
49:10
He goes, absolutely not. I go why not? He goes?
49:13
People call it to complain.
49:14
Nobody calls to say thank you, And I think that's
49:17
a lie that we have to learn from elected officials.
49:20
If they're going out on a limb, if they're supporting
49:22
our community, we have to say thank you. And I
49:24
think it's a great point. But saying thank you, how
49:27
do you should people say thank you?
49:28
Bruce?
49:29
Here's the question? Should be calling him? How should they
49:31
do it?
49:32
It's very simple. You can email city hall. Call city Hall.
49:36
The number is on any you go on the website,
49:38
call him, email him, send them a letter. When you
49:41
see him in the city in a parade or at an event, thank him. That's what you need to do.
49:46
Let me tell you one other things up. I think you were there this year at the Issual Day parade. Yes,
49:50
you were there. Did you see the security that the
49:52
mayor ordered for that parade?
49:53
Did you say it was heavy?
49:55
It was.
49:57
Unprecedented, unprecedented. Those are the kinds of things that are importing.
50:02
But to say thank you, you can email them, call him,
50:04
write a letter, call city who all all sorts of
50:06
things you can do. You see him, just walk up
50:09
to them, mister mayor, thank you for supporting the Jewish community.
50:13
That's the end of the story.
50:14
No, absolutely, Now, how are you getting your message whereus?
50:17
You're promoting it here of Quesse on this program. Where
50:20
else are you? Are you out?
50:21
Previously?
50:22
By the way back, I think it was in January
50:25
we placed the series of ads and newspapers thanking the
50:27
mayor because after the October seventh master he spoke out forcefully,
50:32
eloquently and repeatedly.
50:34
I had put some ads in certain papers. I've done
50:36
that now.
50:37
I did it previously with some other members of the Jewish community, and hopefully, as if we've talked about this,
50:41
I like to do it more. I think it's important,
50:44
especially now because he's under some pressure right now and
50:47
there are things happening he needs listen it's a very
50:50
very big Jewish value. Stand up for your friends, haikara
50:54
tatov and when your friends in need, especially when the
50:56
friends in need, it's important, especially then to say we're
50:59
with you and we're gonna support you, and that's all
51:02
I'm trying to do.
51:03
And listen, I commend you for doing that, and to
51:07
say thank you is a wonderful thing. Can they do more?
51:10
Can you do better? That's another issue. But if they
51:12
go on a limb, we have an obligation not just
51:15
to marry Eric Adam's but to others elected officials and
51:18
to say them Richard Torris example, even Christian Gillibrand has
51:22
gone on a limb. And for Israel, we have to
51:24
really go on a limb and say thank you. That's
51:27
the least we can do.
51:28
Absolutely.
51:28
And by the Richie Torres you mentioned, Congresman Torre is
51:31
one of the greatest friends of Israel, huge, huge, huge, huge,
51:35
right great, And I can tell you because Richie's a friend,
51:38
he knows he appreciates the support he gets.
51:41
It's very important.
51:42
Politicians need to know that people are supporting them. Otherwise,
51:47
you know a lot of them may not go in a limit. They may just say nothing.
51:50
Absolutely correct, Bruce Tabo, former chieve of SAPs. So you're
51:53
spending most of the day in real estate. Correct, I'm trying.
51:56
You know, it's tough. Got to keep the head above water.
51:58
Do what you can. You know, you know, if you
52:00
know the routine, I know, I know. It's good to
52:03
have you back. It's been a long time, so we appreciate.
52:05
We got to get you back more often to look
52:07
at them and seth.
52:08
You know what I remember I told you earlier is I remember doing this twenty thirty years ago when New
52:12
Jersey and we were together a lot during the old
52:15
Giuliani days, and that was great. Times are different. I
52:18
appreciate what you do. You're a great voice for the community.
52:22
You've been around for a long time. Sterling, superb, excellent show,
52:26
audience is great.
52:27
I appreciate the opportunity.
52:29
Thank you, we'll have you back again. And then really thank you for coming up with the idea of corsto
52:33
to Mayor Eric Adams. He deserves that speaking out whatever
52:36
other issues out there concerning him, does not take away
52:39
from the fact that we have an obligation, a religious
52:42
obligation to say thank you for people who do good
52:46
for our community.
52:47
Especially before the Jewish New Year. So thank you, Bruce Sef.
