This is ishUES, the podcast, a project of ish. Each episode will welcome artists, community members, thought leaders, and creative minds to reflect, share and celebrate Jewish and Jew-ish identity. We all need something to look forward to, some grounding as we struggle to figure out what the new normal is going to look like. ish is bringing you new voices, new artists and new ideas to help you find that grounding. Whether Jewish, Jew-ish, or just here for the chutzpah, we’re so glad you’ve decided to join us. In this episode of ishues, Jasmine Wolk interviews Jared Jackson.
