Before we dive into this week’s edition, I wanted to share with you an announcement that’s been in the works for a while. On Monday, March 14, at 1 p.m. eastern, I’ll be hosting a live show on Callin for Deep Shtetl readers. For those unfamiliar with this new medium, Callin is basically a live podcasting platform into which listeners can call in and speak to the host, like a radio show. I’ve been looking for ways to build our community and make it more interactive—to talk with you, not just at you—and this seemed like a great way to do it.
