SOUTH ORANGE, N.J., March 28, 2019 – Hebrew High students at Temple Sharey Tefilo-Israel (TSTI) spent a meaningful evening in March with Stephanie Butnick, one of the hosts of “Unorthodox,” a popular weekly Jewish podcast. Butnick (standing center left) led a discussion about various issues facing today’s Jewish teenagers as they navigate the current social and religious landscape. The students engaged with her on such topics as anti-Semitism in schools, Israeli politics, intergenerational issues and their lives as Jewish teens. Participants had an opportunity to ask questions and Butnick recorded the question & answer period as a segment that will air on future episode of the show. Approximately 80 students in grades 9 through 12 attend TSTI’s Hebrew High program, which meets every Tuesday.
