This interview: Jonathan Rosen (writer, helped to revive The Forward Newspaper www.forward.com )

Jonathan is a most compelling human being. He is a very bright man who thinks in cyclical, and twisting, and rational and romantic terms. Click on the link below and listen to his metaphors and the way he builds a relationship between the old and the new. He sings when he speaks but without the music. His song though is not a balad, it is a story with many chapters; not as thick as a Russian novel, but rich with ideas and colors.

This interview is geared toward ‘writing, books and their relations to day-to-day life – that is the core of this interview. Jonathan Rosen speaks about the integration of ancient Jewish concepts (such as a page of Talmud) and cutting edge technology, about Hebrew and Yiddish as symbol for power and for repression, respectively, and about the conflicts involved in Jewish identity.
