Before advice columns were popular, the Forverts, originally a Yiddish newspaper in the early 20th century in New York, was running "A Bintel Brief", an advice column that encapsulated the immigrant Jewish experience and helped newcomers adjust to American life. Fast-forward more than 100 years, and the series has since spawned iterations on TV, radio, theatre and graphic novels, and has even become a podcast series published by the modern-day Forward.
Inspired by Jonah Hill's divisive mini-celeb scandal this week, in which the actor/director was outed as being a controlling jerk in publicly posted text messages (or, alternately, was the victim of an emotionally manipulative ex-girlfriend who revealed his insecurities for Instagram likes—take your pick), we wanted to analyze the ethics and inevitability of advice, gossip and public opinions. After dissecting the Jonah Hill issue, Avi and Phoebe sit down with Beth Harpaz, the current author of "A Bintel Brief", and Chana Pollack, the archivist at the Forward.
