Then and Now

Available for over a year

A generational divide in the US Jewish community has emerged over the last few years. We learn how the latest conflict in Gaza has really laid bare the split. Also, we listen to a new hit song in Central America called La Bestia and we find out what compelled the US Border Patrol to produce it. We get a rare tour of the Texas detention centres that are housing migrant children at the US-Mexico border. Also in this edition, we visit a vintage clothing shop in New York that sells castoffs from the American working poor, and we take a trip to Mars—on the volcanic slopes of Hawaii. Plus, the lavender’s in full bloom on a farm on Long Island in New York, and we hear why it’s such a hit with Asian tourists. Image: A pro-Israel rally outside the UN building in New York in July.
