Author: Ted Deutsch February 26, 2026 Duration: 43:47
Ted welcomes Pam Saeks back to the podcast to read and discuss this week's edition of the American Israelite.

Each week, Ted Deutsch opens the archives and the latest issue of the oldest English-speaking Jewish newspaper in the United States, finding stories that resonate far beyond its Cincinnati home. Let there be Light-The American Israelite Newspaper Podcast is a personal guided tour through the pages of a nearly 200-year-old publication that has consistently looked outward, covering local community events alongside regional, national, and global affairs. Rather than a dry recap, this podcast offers context and reflection, unpacking the significance of selected articles and connecting their historical roots to contemporary conversations. Listeners hear the stories behind the stories, gaining a deeper understanding of Jewish life, thought, and the newspaper's unique role in chronicling it all. The result is a thoughtful blend of news analysis and historical perspective, making each episode a stand-alone exploration of culture, identity, and enduring voices. Tune in for a nuanced take on current events and legacy, all through the distinctive lens of this enduring American institution.
