In this episode we spoke to Ollie Schwartz, the cultural organizer, who founded Pushcart Judaica, an online and traveling market that specializes in ethical Judaica produced by local artists and makers.
Ben met Ollie during the Center For Jewish Nonviolence’s May 2023 Delegation to Palestine (See Episode 7 for more). From 2018 to 2022 Ollie served as one of the co-directors of Linke Fligl, Yiddish for “Left Wing”, which was a queer diasporist Chicken farm in Upstate New York that intentionally built community for one 7-year shmita cycle.
If you want to hear more from Ollie, they were recently featured in an episode of the Judaism Unbound podcast. Nevertheless, in framing of our conversation around diasporism across the world, this interview offers unique perspective on their work. You can find Pushcart Judaica on Instagram here
