Of the 135 recent appointees to the Order of Canada, at least 20 are Jewish. The recipients come from diverse fields of medicine, the arts, community activism and religion. For this week’s episode of Bonjour Chai, The CJN’s weekly current affairs podcast, we’ve invited four on for one-on-one interviews to discuss their lives and careers: Rabbi Baruch Frydman-Kohl, Cara Tannenbaum, Jane Heyman and Olga Korper.
Plus, a talk with Rabbi Daniel Korobkin about his commentary on the Chaim Walder controversy—and the hosts catch up after the winter vacation.
