While shedding light on the unique Bukharian cultural epicenter in Queens, NY, Chai Podcast hopes to promote inclusivity within the Bukharian community. Growing up in New York as a first generation American born Bukharian Jew can be jarring, and at times it seems impossible to love and cherish our cultural identity without agreeing with the more antiquated and fundamentalist standards that the Bukharian community reflects. Chai intends to make that thought seem less impossible for future gen ...

Always, though, the podcast will keep an eye toward how these ideas relate to contemporary life, and toward defending humanism against the anti-humanist discourses of fundamentalist religion and authoritaria ...

Of Monks and Men is a project searching to find "the third option." As humans we are often dealt labels that are meant to define us: left or right, liberal or conservative, fundamentalist or postmodernist, creationist or evolutionist. However, most of the time these labels do not always fit. Not everything is black and white. Sometimes there is a gray area.

This led to living in some fairly nefarious religious and social environments. As I left that culture, I noticed that there were plenty of the same ...
