CLARIFICATION:
Periodically during this program, the term ‘Ultra-Orthodox’ is used by speakers to refer to practitioners of Judaism who adhere to specific traditional practices. Since publishing this program in 2015, we have learned that this term is considered pejorative by some people. We regret the use of the term in this episode, and in the future will not use that term. We are confident that the particular use in this episode was not intended to be pejorative and, subject to this expression of regret, we stand by the program.

On the Grid with Zephyr Teachout airs Mondays at 8:00pm
Zephyr Teachout, 2014 Democratic gubernatorial candidate, with help from CUNY's Center for Urban Research, is redrawing Brooklyn's traditional neighborhood boundaries. Gone are the arbitrary borders of Gravesend and Sunset Park, Williamsburg and Fort Greene — instead, she’s exploring the maps of Brooklyn that tell the story of today’s demographics… From ‘Republican Brooklyn’ to ‘Yiddish Brooklyn’ and beyond.
