Tradition and Transition
Throughout the world, Jews of color work to maintain the religion and culture of their ancestors. On today's edition of our regular Underreported feature, we'll explore some of the challenges these communities face in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Later on, Gail Sheehy explores how modern society is changing the romantic lives of middle-aged women. And we'll examine the impact Baby Boomers have had on America. Plus, a look at the highly-sexualized work of Viennese artist Egon Schiele.

On today's Underreported feature, writer and photographer Bryan Schwartz tells us about some of the unique challenges they face. He's documented the experiences of Jewish communities in 28 countries throughout the world. An exhibit of his photographs is currently on display at the Herbert and Eileen Bernard Museum of Judaica.
