Dear Friends, This post is a conversation between david roberts and me. David grew up in Manhattan as an assimilated Jew. I was raised in rural Montana in a fundamentalist Christian home. But here we are, both Substack writers and friends, discovering all sorts of things we have in common. In this conversation, we discuss how our formal education shaped our lives.
Josh, you keep connecting with New Yorkers like this, David and I may need to show you around and have a longer conversation in a favorite tavern.
We are all wondering-- where is the audio of this great convo?
Lovely exchange. Guys, I too read Potok early ... xo to you both!
That was a fun read, diverse backgrounds make for a better world. Thanks.
So interesting--and how moments can change courses of lives.
Thank you for this --
Interesting to know more about two guys I read regularly. Thanks fellas!!
