Description
Allison Kaplan Sommer, Noah Efron, and Times of Israel Ops & Blogs editor Miriam Herschlag discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Listen to the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/posts/53164847 —Mistakes Were Made, Uncle Sam— Can Israel’s new government “reset” relations with the U.S.? —My Grandfather, the Zionist— A grandson looks at his Zionist late-grandfather and wonders how he missed all that is wrong about Israel. But is the grandson missing something, too? —Dudu, I Have a Feeling We’re Not in Kfar Saba Anymore— An Israeli goes to explore the strange worlds of American Jews, like Alice in Wonderland, Gulliver in Lilliput, and Dorothy in Oz. But does he learn say more about Israel than it does about the United States? —The Un-Jews— For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion, we grapple with a challenging recent article in Tablet Magazine by luminaries Natan Sharansky and Gil Troy, called “The Un-Jews: The Jewish Attempt to Cancel Israel and Jewish Peoplehood.” All that and new music by Dudu Aharon, one of the best things ever to come from Kiryat Ekron!
