Ellen Willis wrote an article called "The myth of the powerful Jew," which was published in a September 1979 edition of New York City's free paper the Village Voice, as part of an ongoing debate on Black-Jewish relations appearing in that paper. KPFK's Helene Rosenbluth and Anita Frankel read excerpts of the article in this program, and then are joined by Jewish feminists Lynn Kerman (sp?) and Erica Silverman in a discussion with listener phone-ins. Varied viewpoints; important discussion. Begins and ends with the Phoebe Snow song "Take your children home." Self-contained. Low left channel - voices off mike in beginning.
