Summary
She grew up Jewish in Siberia, where being Jewish was encoded in your passport but impossible to practice. Then in 2017, she saw something on American TV that looked exactly like Soviet anti-Zionist propaganda. That moment changed everything. This week, scholar and author Izabella Tabarovsky joins Faye to talk about Soviet Jewish identity, anti-Zionism on American campuses, and what the refuseniks can teach Jewish students today.
