Shtetl gathers stories from the streets of the urban village. We’re an online magazine. A Radio Show. A Podcast. We host live events and do International Reporting. A virtual and a real community. Shtetl actually means small city or village in Yiddish. Despite the Yiddish name, the content knows no ethnic, racial or linguistic boundaries. We dig Arabic music, we interview Black Jews, queer Jews….non-Jews.
Shtetl aspires to a highly inclusive vision of Judaism. Never nasty in tone, Shtetl is a place with porous boundaries, open and accepting of guests and contributors from all communities.
Shtetl on the Shortwave (S.O.S.) is a radio show and podcast about Jewish Arts & Culture that has been airing on CKUT 90.3 FM in Montreal for seven years.
