Program description:

BEYOND THE PALE explores local, national and international political debate and analysis from a progressive Jewish perspective. We also bring listeners the voices and sounds of contemporary Jewish culture, from film critics to filmmakers, novelists, poets and musicians. BEYOND THE PALE is the only Jewish program on radio or television devoted to bringing a left Jewish perspective to political and cultural debates. In politically reactionary times like these, when the major Jewish organizations align themselves with the conservative forces that currently dominate local and national politics, BEYOND THE PALE brings audiences the critical perspectives and visions for social change that are the proud legacy of Jewish radicalism. BEYOND THE PALE is produced with the support of Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ), a New York City social justice organization.
