Let there be Light - The American Israelite Newspaper Podcast
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.

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.
