Baseball Hall of Fame President Josh Rawitch

After 27 seasons working in Major League Baseball (MLB), Josh Rawitch has taken on a new challenge: President of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York. Rawitch joins B'nai B'rith CEO Dan Mariaschin to talk about leading an iconic American institution, the role Judaism has played in his life and career, and his experiences in professional baseball with the LA Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks.
 


The B'nai B'rith International Podcast
​HOSTED BY CEO DANIEL S. MARIASCHIN


Episode #98: Former Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon on His Time "In the Lion's Den"
What is it like to represent Israel on the world stage? Former Ambassador Danny Danon has insights few can rival. He spent five years (2015-2020) as Israel's permanent representative to the United Nations, a necessary but complex place for Jews and the State of Israel – and an institution known for its systemic bias against the Jewish state. In his upcoming book, "In the Lion's Den: Israel and the World,” Ambassador Danon shares his experiences on the front lines of Israel’s global presence. B'nai B'rith CEO Dan Mariaschin speaks with the Ambassador about “In the Lion’s Den,” his commitment to the Jewish state through public service, key moments from his time representing Israel at the world body, and why he views his country as an increasingly major player on the world stage.

Episode #97: Author Margot Webb on Surviving the Holocaust as a Child

Margot Webb hasn't forgotten what happened to her family more than 80 years ago in Nazi Germany. Her book, "Tears in the Eyes of My Enemy," follows a slightly fictionalized version of herself – Meryam – as she returns to her childhood homes in Arnstadt and Halle, Germany, and the unlikely friendships she builds with descendants of her former tormentors. In this episode, B'nai B'rith CEO Dan Mariaschin speaks with Webb about "Tears in the Eyes of My Enemy," her journey back to the places she once called home and her efforts making sure others don't forget the cruelty she witnessed – and experienced.

Episode #96: Celebrated Actor Nehemiah Persoff
Legendary actor Nehemiah Persoff speaks with B'nai B'rith CEO Dan Mariaschin about his new memoir, “The Many Faces of Nehemiah,” his successes and struggles as an actor spanning more than five decades – with credits from "Some Like it Hot" to "Yentl" to "Star Trek: The Next Generation" – and his experiences as a Jewish performer in Hollywood and on stage.

Episode #95: Award-Winning Author Dara Horn on Her New Book, "People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present"
Author Dara Horn is tired of Jewish history being exploited to flatter the living. In her new book, "People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present," Horn challenges us to confront the public's fascination with Jewish deaths and why there is often little respect for Jewish lives. A two-time winner of the National Jewish Book Award with nonfiction work published in The New York Times, The Washington Post and more, Horn speaks with B'nai B'rith CEO Dan Mariaschin about her book in a world once again witnessing alarming spikes in anti-Semitism and the whitewashing of Jewish history.

Connecting Jews & Chocolate: Semite Sweet (An Exhibition)

Rabbi Deborah Prinz and curator Warren Klein speak with B'nai B'rith CEO Dan Mariaschin about their exhibition, "On Jews and Chocolate: Semite Sweet," which highlights historical stories of refugee Jews who both worked in the chocolate business and contributed significantly to their respective Jewish communities.

Fashion as Politics & the Evolution of Department Stores in 19th Century New York

Fashion historian, curator and author Keren Ben-Horin joins B'nai B'rith CEO Dan Mariaschin to talk about the Israeli “fashion diplomacy” of the 1950s and 1960s, and how fashion became an integral part of the way Israel created its national identity.

B'nai B'rith in 2021

This year's challenges may have continued to shifted our means of dialogue, but they’ve also made us recommit to our priorities and build on our robust global efforts. We are a staunch supporter of the global Jewish community, a steadfast defender of the State of Israel and a tireless advocate on behalf of senior citizens and a leader in disaster relief. And as we've done for more than 178 years, we're bringing our world-renowned expertise to conversations and taking action on today’s most pressing issues.

Helping American Jewish Heroes Rest in Peace: Shalom Lamm, CEO of Operation Benjamin

How many American Jewish service members have been buried under grave markers that incorrectly represent their religion and heritage? No one knows the exact number, but Operation Benjamin is working hard to find Jewish personnel at American military cemeteries buried under incorrect markers – and to correct these mistakes.

Led and co-founded by CEO Shalom Lamm, Operation Benjamin is devoted to preserving the memories of American Jewish soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice during World War II.

Lamm joins B'nai B'rith CEO Dan Mariaschin to talk about Operation Benjamin's efforts righting wrongs, what inspired him to establish the organization, and how it impacts the families of those wrongly buried so long ago.

This recorded video interview will be available to view at your convenience after 5 p.m. Eastern Time on our Extra page, Facebook and YouTube.
