Podcast: A Bintel Brief
Episode: S2, Episode 4: "Grumpy Gifter"
Description: Starting in 1906, the editors of the Forward answered reader questions in a column called “A Bintel Brief,” Yiddish for “a bundle of letters.” Now, we're bringing Bintel into a new era. Welcome to Season 2 of “A Bintel Brief,” the Jewish advice podcast. In “Grumpy Gifter,” a listener writes with a quintessentially mid-30s vexation: she can no longer tolerate the endless gifts required of her by the litany of weddings and babies. Bintel responds with wisdom, humor, and tasteful advice.
